COUNTRY PRODUCE-( (Jobbing prices)-
Our quotations on creamery butter are again
advanced, in accordance with the facts. 1t
is seldom that choice creamery is as scarce
in this market as it has been the past few
weeks. Eggs are quiet, and 1910 per dozen
is the prevailing price for job lots. Produce
commission houses are overstocked with
peaches and melons, and the situation all
along the line of fruits and vegetables is
favorable to the buyer. Gardeners from
nearby complain that, while. stuff is plenti-
full, it is hard to sell at very low prices,
necessitating much work and little pay. At
the Diamond markets the best tomatoes and
cucumbers are slow Mt SOC per bushel basket.
There have been sales in the past day or two
at three baskets for 81 Last season at this
time tomatoes sold here at 81 per basket and
upward. Potatoes are steadily gaining in
quality and demand is improving, with
prices higher than they were at the begin
ming of the week. Receipts of bananas are
ceipts few weeks gone But as it is there
are more than enough to meet all demands,
and markets are weak.
