OFFICE OF PIrrsBURG DISPATCH,

SATURDAY, July IL, 1891.
COUNTRY PRopUoE-(JobbingP Prices)-Sup'
ply OF berries was not up to demand TO
day, and prices are higher. Markets were
giutted with raspberries in the fore part OF
the week, and they who laid in stock for can
nlng at that time we're wise. "There is tide
In the affairs of men which taken at its ebb
leadeth on to fortune" The householder
who neglected the raspberry opportunity at
the beginning of the week must now pay
higher prices. Melons are coming in freely
ana prices are on the decline. There are not
less than 100 car loads of watermelons
IN the yards and on the way. Each car con-
yeys on an average 1000 to 200 melons, and
from present appearances large quantities
Will not yield enough to pay freight bills.
POTATOES are in plentiful supply and prices
are weak. Eggs are firm and tendency is
toward higher prices. Cheese has no doubt
touched its lowest point for this season. In
TINS faith dealers are laying heavy stock.
