Attanti, Sept. 14.—The fall dullness «eemi to have opened up In earnest this week, and all produce has been moving readily nt good There has been too much California fruit on the market this week.'and consequently prices have declined considerably. How ever, the consumption nt the reduced price is much heavier, and we think that the mar* ket will practically clean up the surplus by the middle of next week, "nd we theu look for the market to react, and bring Pn 'fhi ¥ qunmy of grapes from California has been flue, nud had it not been for this the receivers would have lost heavily. Apple* continue very scarce and tn® qual ity poor, but Helling at 36 per barrel, which Is extremely high for the quality. We look for apple* to Ih» higher this season thau nny season previous for yeurs. Lemons have declined to $4.50 per Ikjx, owing to the soft quality of the stock l»e- ing received. The firmer grades nro bring ing 35 per box. There are a few Jamaica orange* coming In. and meeting with ready sale at $5 per box. However, the quality of this fruit Is very sour and comparatively sound, rue Florida oranges will not begin to move lu nny quantity before the first of Novemlw*r. Irish potatoes and cabbage are In good de mand nt price* quoted, and the receipts are about equal to the demand. Me look for the inarKct to rctnnlu about stationary for the coming week. Itl . Kggs have weakened, same selling for 25c S er doxen, nud we lopk for them to still ecltne more next week. Onions have declined to 31.35. and quail* ty of stock ‘arriving Is exceptionally good for the season of the .venr. Bananas continue scarce nnd high, nnd re ceipts are hardly heavy enough to meet the demand. Wo look for price* to hold good In most Instances through next week. FRUIT AND PRODUCE.
