OFFICE OF PITrsBURa DIsPAroH,) ,
FRIDAY, July 81 :
COUNTRY PRODUCE (Jobbing prlces)-Eggs
show q weakening tendency and the ma
jority of sales are at inside quotatlons.
Dairy products are still in short supply, and
markets rule strong for Ohio cheese and all
choice grades of creamery butter. Tropical
fruits are slow for the reason that markets
are flooded with homegrown fruit. Lemons
are the exception to the rule, there being an
improved demand and better prices in this
line the past week. So long as domestic
fruits keep coming in as they do now, there
will be little demand for tropical products.
The first grapes of the season put in their
appearance this week All @ things IN IN 1ralt Irar
and vegetable lines are drug IN tne mar
kets. Prices of apples peaches, melons,
cabbage and potatoes show downwsrd IN
clination. The fact is that recelpts Dotn
this week and last are beyond the power of
our markets to take in, and hence the buyer
has the field.
