OFFICE OF PTTTsBURG DISPATCH,
TUESDAY, Aug. 1S.
COUNTRY PRoDUCE-( (Jobbing prices)-
AT the Monday meeting of the Elgin board
prices of creamery butter were advanced &c
per pound, making an advance of &c in the
past two weeks. The new rates will be due
in this market on Friday. Our jobbers re-
port an unusual scarcity of choice creamery
butter. Cheese is firm at quotations. Linn
burg cheese is shade higher. Fruits and
vegetables are still drug. Nearby garden
ers report that products in their line are
lower than for years, and that it hardly pays
to bring tomatoes, cabbage, ETC., to market.
Choice jersey potatoes are in better demand
and prices are advanced. sweet potatoes
are weaker. Cantaloupes are coming IN too
freely for demand, and 100 crates have been
condemned by Fruit Inspector kilgore since
Saturday. Peaches are improving in quail
tty, and demand is also improved All trop-
fcal fruits drag with the exception of lemons,
which are firm and active at outside quota
tions.
