Pittsburg Produce Market.
PTTsBURG, July THE supply Of
strictly fresh eggs continues light and for
such fun prices are still being realized, al
though there are but few buyers aside
/ from bakers and hotels. Choice butter
continues In very fair request, but there is
not much call for lower grades. Cheese
continues to move freely, but as yet there
has been no improvement in prices. Pota-
toes continue 10 arrive freely, and while
we do not make much change in our quota
| tions. buyers continue 10 have the advan-
tage. Some few lots of homegrown pota-
toes have been received, but they are
small and DO not figure much in the market
thus far. Green apples in liberal supply
and prices are easy. Berries are in liberal
supply and the market little offish.
