FRIDAY. Sent, 4.


COUNTRY PRoDUCE-(J (Jobbing prices)-
There were fully 15 carloads of peaches on
the market to-day, and all good stock was
in demand at quotations, while over-ripe
stock was sold at nominal prices. Other
fruits go slow, and will until the peach crop
is worked off For the past three weeks re-
ceipts of peaches have averaged 100 car
loads weekly, and the end is not yet. Vege-
tables still drag. Tomatoes, cabbage and
sweet potatoes are poor stock at prices
quoted. There is still scarcity of cnoiee
dairy produ cts and the tendency of prices
is upward. Supply of fancy Elgin creamery
| butter is not up to demand, and all signs
point to higher prices. Cheese is also firm,
with tendency toward higher prices. There
is a scarcity of scrictly fresh eggs, and our
| prices are once more advanced At the ad-
vance our markets are no higher relatively
than they have been in Chicago and New
York all the week.
