THURSDAY, June 49,
COUNTRY PRODUCE (Jobbing Prices)-Straw-
berry supply to-day was in excess OF de-
mand, especially Southern crop, and prices
touched their lowest point of the season. A
fair article sold as low as &c per Dox, ana the
best home-raised berries were SOLD at lOc per
box, The general run of markets was 6 to
Sc. Raspberries are in good supply and
prices are lower. New Southern potatoes
are on the decline owing to liberal receipts,
and still lower prices are anticipated IN the
next few days, as large quantities are point
ing in this direction. Southern vegetables
are steadily giving way to home-raised prod
ucts. Peas and beans from the South are
particularly dull. There is also an over
supply of Southern tomatoes, ana markets
are in favor of the buyer. ONO cheese Is
weak and slow and prices are shade lower.
Markets are overstocked with cheese. Con-
sumption is reported unusually light for the
time of the year, fact charged up Oy deal
ers to labor troubles.
