COUNTRY PRoDUcE-Jobbing prices
The supply of grapes is far in excess of de-
mand, and prices have found still lower
level, as our quotations will reveal Peaches
are not so plentiful as they have been, but
demand has fallen of, and only choice stock
brings outside rates. The melon season is
practically at an end. No more are offered
at points of shipment. In tropical fruit lines
we note scarcity oflemons and oranges and
an abundance of bananas. The latter are
rfpening so fast under the influence of the
hot weather that prices of ripe fruit are
merely nominal. The great abundance and
low prices of domestic fruit are adverse to
hNconsumption of bananas Vegetables of
all kinds are drug on the market. Dairy
products of high grade are steady at quota
tions, but common stock is very slow. Strict
ly fresh eggs are in short supply and very
firm 1t prices quoted. Following are revised
