SATURDAY, Sept. IL.
COUNTRY PRoDUCE-(J (Jobbing prices)-
Commission men report slow Saturday.
The peach supply was light, but sufficient
for demand. There were not over q half
dozen carloads on sale to-day. Consumers
have been making the most Of their oppor-
tunity for few weeks past and markets
have slowed up as a result. All garden
stuff is in favor of the consumer. The adj
vance in creamery butter has had the effect
of bringing oleo to the front once more. Re-
celpts of oleo are now about one carload daily.
wholesale dealers are required to pay
S4S0 license for selling oleo, and retailers S4o.
Prices have jumped &c per pound in the past
week or two. Fancy stock is selling in a re-
tail way at 25c per lb.
The amount palmed off on consumers as
butter is problem which this editor will
not undertake to solve. Eggs are not so
frm as they have been for few days past.
but strictly fresh stock readily brings our
quotations. Plums and grapes are In bountl-
fui supply, and commission men find dill
Guilty in unloading goods in these lines.
