Atlanta, Kept. 23.—'The market In most lines of fruit nnd produce has been n little sluggish thin week owing to tho hot weath er and bad condition of the stock arriving. heavy losses to the receiver, the quality of i better, sa the , firmer nnd better keepers. Jamaica oranges are moving fairly well at $5 per Im)x. They show good color, but they —ei still a little sour. Irish potatoes declined during the week, but they are getting aenree now, and we look for them to advance about 10c per bushel during the coming week. Ualdiage receipts hare been and the demand light, which c< to decline %c per pound. However, we think they will hold nt the prices quoted during the coming week. Onions selling nt $1.25, which Is n little under last week's price, but think that they will ndvauce again before they decline more. The market has been very much over stocked on lemons, nnd some poor grades have sold as low as S3.50, but anything like fTt* TJJ 1 bo** bn * ***** nt<ty Mle fr,,ta Eggs declined considerably this week, selling at 23c per doseu, nnd we still ‘ for them to go lower next week. Bananas routllme high and scarce, snd wo can not see any prospects for lower prices for some time to come. Receipts on California fruits were lighter this week than last nod the quality meet better, in consequence thereof the price !m proved materially. Wo look for Uhlo grapes to begin comlm In next week, and think that they will move readily at moderate prices. The prospects for. the coming week for a good market la much better thou the week Just past. THE COFFEE MARKET.
