COUNTRY PRODUCE (Jobbing Prices)-Re-
ceipts of farm and garden products were
large to-day, too large for demand. Friday
is usually the busy day of the week with
produce commission men, but trade to-day
proved disappointment, and in most lines
concessions were demanded and obtained.
Watermelons are very abundant and prices
have found lower level. Raspberries
showed firmness, receipts having fallen OFF
the past day or two. Southern potatoes are
quiet. Home-raised are coming in more
freely, but are not large enough to meet re-
quirements of trade. Eggs are shade
higher, as our quotations will disclose.
Choice dairy products are steady at quota
tions. In the faith that cheese has passed
its lowest point for this season, jobbers are
laying in heavy stocks. In tropical fruit
lines we note that the upward tendency of
lemons has been checked, a fact, no doubt,
due to the untimely cool weather of July.
