WHOLESALE MARKET.

WHOLESALE MARKET.
A weakness was shown in the con-
dition of the butter market today
There has been quite fiuctuation in
butter prices the past two or three
weeks, the latest change meaning a
drop of cent or two a pound.
The egg market was firmer today.
Receipts Of eggs have dropped off the
past few days and prices have taken
a slight advance. The advance is not
sufficient to greatly affect the retail
market.
Receipts of watermelons. canta-
loupes and peaches from the south
has decreased demands for other
fruits. Peaches from North Carolina
are reported as being particularly
fine, and prices are not exceptionally
high.
