There are no changes OF interest to report
10 the country produce situation, so far as
this market is concerned Today's receipts
Of poultry were somewhat larger than usual
TINS morning and in consequence prices were
shade lower than those of yesterday. Chick
ems are still In good demand. however. and II
future arrivals arc not too large there seems
20 good reason to expect a noticeable decline
IN prices in the near future The demand
Tor turkeys is light, but, as has been the
case for some time past, prices are main
taned by correspondngly small receipts.
Eggs continue to be very weak. indeed
and although the quotation OF 13d15c was
unchanged today. sales as low as 121sc were
reported. Arrivals are about the same as
usual but there is no marked increase In
lbe demand and 1t would appear that until
tne stocks now on hand are cleaned up there
IS little hope OF any material or permanent
ADVANCE in prices.
private letter from the coast says the
supply OF dried peaches has been overesti-
mated and the output will be found to be
much less than was stated. The writer thinks
w cars excessive and inclines to the opln-
ION that 1900 is an outside estimate. Ht
