OFF1CE OF PITTSBURG DlSPATCH,
TUESDAY, June l6.
COUNTRY PRODUCE (Jobbing .Prices)-The
first melons of the season were to the
front to-day, and are added to our list
Southern strawberries were a drug, and
home-raised were in active demand at out
side quotations. Raspbcrries are i'll fair
supply, and by another week will supplant
strawberries. The old potato is nearly ut
the end of its career for this season. Good
stock is firm at quotations New Tennessee
rose potatoes will be due this week. South
ern vegetables, outside of potatoes, are slow
and dull. There is very little demand for
peas and prices have declined, as quotations
will reveal. At the Elgin Monday meeting
last weeks prices of creamery were reaf-
firmed, but markets were active and firm at
the old price. Ohio cheese is weak and
lower, and New York cheese steady.' ONO
river eggs are still coming i'll freely and are
of doubtful freshness. A perfectly reliable
quality of hen fruit is in demand ut outside
quotations. The hot weather has boosted
lemons, and prospects are for ~ market
before many days.
