exchange yesterday dinerence OF lc. Inc
change Is due to falling off in receipts
For the past three weeks the receipts have
been getting smaller, and this fact has been
especially noticeable the past five days.
Yesterdays receipts amounted to only $50
cases, which Is an unusually low record. IL
is not expected that prices will again de-
cline this season as the receipts show ten
dency to fall off rather than increase
There is complaint among the Jobbers that
growers are holding their cantaloupes at
much too stiff figure. 1t is impossible to
market the melons in this city at the prices
asked. There were quite a number of crates
of cantaloupes on hand yesterday, and they
remained on hand at figures too high tor
the customer to touch. The prevailing quo
tation was $50 $50 for crate containing
54 cantaloupes. The abundance of all other
fruit at marketable quotations makes can
taoupes impossible in this market at that
price.
The first of this seasons apples reached
the city yesterday. They were of the RED
ascotine variety and came from Harmonic
selling at $1.50'a a box.
Peaches met with good sale at ~ l.-9.
