OFFICE OF PIrrsBURG DISPATCH,
THITRSDAY. july Is.

THURSDAY, July TO- }
COUNTRY PRoDUcE(JobbingP Prices)- s)-Strctly
fresh eggs are in limited supply and markets
are firm at quotations. The percentage of
suspicious hen fruit on the market has in
creased of late, and anything under first
class warranted stock is slow. Dairy prod
ucts of high grade are firm and cheese prom
ises to go up higher at an early day Pitts
burg cheese markets are reported relatively
lower than any place in the country. Jobbers
have been buying heavily of late, and the
present outlook gives assurance that they
will not be disappointed in their calcula-
tions. Raspberries are in light supply and
demand is active for all offered. Blackber-
r1eS are abundant and slow. The same is
true of watermclons. Cabbage is n drug.
Homegrown cabbage now has the field, and
that which comes from afar is dull and slow.
Potatoes are quiet for the same reason
Supply of apples exceeds demand and mar
kets favor buyers.
