COUNTRY PRoDUCE-Jobbing prices
Monday is uniformly an off-day in this line,
and to-day was no exception to the rule.
Dairy products are still quiet, with fancy
creamery butter as the exception. Country
butter and cheese are in supply beyond de-
mand. ana markets are In favor OF buyers.
New Sweitzer cheese is coming in freely and
markets are quiet in sympathy with weak
ness in other cheese lines. Old vegetabl es
now belong to the past. A good quality of
old potatoes is hardly to be had. New stock
is in bountiful supply, and prices incline
downward There were few good straw
berries on the market to-day. The best on
sale were slow at SC to l0c per box. TroDi-
cal fruits are higher under the influence OF
the hot weather. Lemons are particularly
active. Very fancy stock was sold in New
York Saturday at S. to $6 per box. Bananas
are also moving up higher, supply being
scarcely equal to demand.
