FRIDAY, aug. Il
COUNTRY EPRoDUCE-(Jobbin prices)-
Markets are still overstocked with fruits
and vegetables, and the situation favors
buyers. Receipts of peaches are unusually
large, and only choicest stock finds ready
buyers. Tropical fruits are poor stock at
the lowest prices reached for years. Pota-
toes of choice quality are in improved de-
mand and prices are tending upward. All
other vegetables are slow and dull. Toma-
toes, cabbage, cucumbers, and, in fact, all
garden stuff are lower in price than they
have been for many seasons. 1t is difficult
to meet demand for creamery butter of high
grade at the advanced prices. Cheese has
found higher level, as our quotations Will
disclose, and the outlook is for higher prices
at an early day. Eggs are in abundant sup
ply and markets are weak. Our quotations
are reduced i'll accordance with facts.
