FRIDAY, Sept. IS.
COUNTRY PRoDUCE-(Jobbing prices)-
There were about ten carloads of peaches on
the market to-day, the largest run of the
week. Markets were slow at shade lower
prices than prevailed at the beginning of
the week. A large majority of consumers
have already laid in their supplies, and the
few who failed to do so at the proper time
are not in sufficient number to absorb ten
carloads in day. Grapes are in bountiful
supply, and tendency is toward lower prices.
Creamery butter is in supply more than
sufficient to meet demands, and present
quotations are barely sustained. The butter
that sells at 3Oc per pound must be very
fancy. Leading 1obbers proffer to furnish
the best that is made at 29c per pound. New
York cheese is a shade higher, as quotations
will reveal. Eggs that are strictly fresh are
also higher: Vegetables are dull all along
the line. The best potatoes grown are slow
at SOC per bushel.
