COUNTRY PRoDUCE-Jobbing prices
Grapes and peaches are in supply above
needs of trade and markets are weak at
shade lower prices than have prevailed for
some days past. Vegetables of all kinds
are slow. Sweet potatoes are particularly
dull and buyers have the field. Dairy
products are in bountiful supply and drift
of prices is toward lower level. The best
Elgin creamery butter on the market is
slow at 29c per pound Some dealers quote
the top of the market at 1910 per pound.
Ohio cheese is quiet and New York make is
firm at quotations. Strictly fresh eggs are
firm at a shade higher prices than have
ruled of late. Lemons and oranges are
firm with tendency to q higher level OF
prices. Dealers in tropical fruits, however,
report very slow trade, ana for reasons good
and sufficient. namely, the abundance ana
low prices of peaches grapes ana apples.
