Luscious Lines Tending LOwer-Wheat and
Flour Quiet, but Hay Is Scarce and
Higher-No Change Of Note in the Gro
Gerry Trade.
OFFICE OF PIrTsBURG DISPATCH
WEDNESDAY, July 15
COUNTRY PRODUCE (Jobbing Prices)-Black-
berries and melons abound and markets are
dull at decline. Raspberries are scarce and
higher. Apples are in full supply, and with
Improvement in quality comes decline in
prices, as our quotations will disclose. Dairy
products of choice quality are steady, and
cheese promises to advance soon. In lines
of tropical fruit we note that lemons and
bananas are weak and lower and oranges
fairly steady. There have been % carloads
of bananas received here since Saturday,
and the weather has brought them to the
ripe state much faster than the trade wants.
As result ripe bananas have been selling
this week at nominal prices. 1t has been
long since lemons have been as slow as they
have been this season. The cool summer
will account in part but not altogether for
the depression in this line. The prophets
who said a month ago that lemons would go
to $40 per box have proved false prophets, as
the choices are bringing little more than
half this amount. A carload from New Or
leans was recently sold at SO box, which
cost So 65 before freight bills were paid.
