PittsburE Produce Market.
PrrrsBURG, October 1S.-The local egg
market continues fairly active, and for
fresh stock prices are steady as quoted;
the colder weather has increased Consump-
tiOn. There is q continued good request
for choice butter, and being in scant sup
ply prices are holding 1t the recent advance.
Cheese continues in demand and prices are
firm with every prospect Of going still
higher. Irish potatoes and green apples
are more active aud hrmer. In regard to
cranberdeS the Retail GrOcers' Advocate
says
The cranberry crops Of New England
and New Jersey are turning out most
beautifully, and the long spell OF dry
weather without frOsts during the harvest
ing-uOw nearly completed in many sec
! tions-has been very favorable TO the de-
velopment Of the fruit, which is OF excep-
tionally iue quality The Wisconsin and
Michigan growers have been much less
fortunate, early frostS during the bloom
and again in August, while the berries were
green, nearly running their crops. ProOa-
bly, not one-Q quarter Of an average western
yield has been gathered. Opening prices
OF best Cape Gods vas $50 per barrel lOO
level quarts, but continued warm weather
and abundance OF other fruits so restricted
the demand that the market rapidly de-
clined, fancy Early Blacks now selling at
s5 So This low wholesale price l5>5 cents
per quartz should Place this wholesome
and delicious fruit within the reach o oil,
but INSCRIPTIONS dealers are seeking, as
heretofore, 70 enhance the cost 10 grocerS
by initiating growers crates, which, small
er and less tightly packed, hold four 20 ten
quarts less than the genuine.
