PRODUCE PRICES.

Unusual quiet for a Friday prevailed
in the product market today. The con-
tinued hot weather resulted in a fall
ing of in the demand. although this
day is ordinarily the busiest Of the
week, on account Of the retailers plac-
ing orders 10 meet their own rush on
Saturday. Poultry and live stock were
quiet, but price changes were for the
most part lacking IN these lines
Fruit was again active. but vegeta-
bles rather quiet. Catalogues were in
very liberal receipt, but moved slowly,
IN comparison, at the low prices
quoted. WateTmelOns were I'm good de-
mand at figures slightly higher than
those or yesterday. Good peaches
found ready market but most OF the
arrivals from the South were defective.
Those from Maryland and Delaware
met with fair demand.
