Show VERY UTTLE OK ON Lttliil Oregon Cherries and Moapa Cantaloupes the Only New Arrivals. BERRIES OF ALL KINDS STILL CONTINUE SCARCE Generally the Market Offerings Present an Uninviting Appearance. Market row presented an uninviting appearance to tho buyer nearly all day Friday. Nothing new, with the exception excep-tion of Oregon cherries and Moapa cantaloupes, can-taloupes, being offered for sale. Willi this exception, everything along tho row g resented a faded, wilted appearance, uyers were few because of the heat In the afternoon, but toward evening matters mat-ters seemed to straighten out and tho prospects of a better day Saturdav are encouraging. Tho Oregon cherries are not strangers to the markot, having arrived dally slnco last Saturday. Then, however, but ono merchant was offering them for sale and at 35c a pound. Now tho ontlro row has the big. luscious fruit on hand at 25c and 30c a pound. A few new Utah cherries cher-ries also were offered at 20c a pound, but when comparod with the Oregon cherries they appear to be worth about 15c a pound. Berries still continue scarce and those on tho market present an overrlpened appearance, duo to the rapidity with which tho berry ripens In tho hot weather. weath-er. About one crato of strawberries was offered for sale, but the person who bought of this stock must have done so because he just camo In from the wlld3 and wanted to taste strawberries during the present year. Their price, because of the lateness of tho season and poor quality qual-ity of the berry, was 10c and 15c a box. More raflpberrles were offered or sale than during tho fore part of tho week. The pricos wero about Ilia same, but the goods vero of Inferior quality. Tho Hmall boxes sold at 10c. a piece and tho largo ones varied In prico from 12c to 15c. About four crates of red currants were offered for sale Friday. The large boxes sold at 12ic and the small ones at 10c. No black currants wero offcrod during the day and It is not expected that thero will be many on the ninrkel today. English black currants also were missing miss-ing irom their accustomod place, but merchants expressed a hope that thero would not he many more on the market owing to the difficulty with which they sold. No new consignment of gooseberries goose-berries arrived Friday, but those on the market still present a rather fresh appearance ap-pearance despite their age. As a result the price holds firm, being 2 pounds or 2 quarts for 25c. Utah peaches still havo the beneficial effect of holding down tho price of that fruit to 10c and 15c a pound, while tho absence of Utah plums causes the price to go up from 15c to 20c. But two merchants offered ripe tomatoes to-matoes during tho day. A largo consignment con-signment arrived Thursday evening, and was offered to the retailers Friday, but the tomatoes woro extremely green and will require at least two or threo davs to ripen and shrivel up. The green tomatoes to-matoes sold slowly at 15c a pound, while the riper and better-looking ones wero easily disposed of at 20c a pound. Tho first 5c cantaloupes from Moapa, No'., wero offered Friday. They were rather small, but presented a 'fresh appearance, ap-pearance, something which could not bo said of much of the produce offered during dur-ing the day. A few small express shipments ship-ments of watermelons arrived Frldav. The price still holds firm, being 31c per pound. Vegetables were rather scarce Friday, none of the merchants having the large stock which they ordinarily have on hand. Tho price still continues the same, however. Saturday is market day for the farmers. far-mers. Henco the merchants feel that something better will be for sale to graco tho Sunday dinner table. LIVESTOCK QUOTATIONS. Chicago. CHICAGO, July 19.
