THE Cheese Market at Little Falls L-r the week 
ending Aug. 13, was decidedly “flat;" In fact tho 
dullest of the season. One thousand ninety-seven 
boxes of dairy wore offered und sold at U@l2Vd., 
rally half a cent lower than Inst week Only two 
lots brought 12 k n., and these were extra fine. Good 
tolltto dairy wont at I2@12.ftc., while Unit injured by 
tliu heat or Improper manufacture sold under !2c. 
There was a very largo amount of factory Offered, 
amounting In tho aggregate to between ntnn mul ton 
thousand boxes, ol which not more than 3,000 
boxes changed hands. Tho large accumulation of 
stock In Now York and tho intensely hot weather, 
make dealers loth to touch anything under “strictly 
prime,” though they are willing ami anxious to take 
any amount oil commission ; hut factory men gener¬ 
ally prefer to hold another week, rather than trust 
their choose In tho New York stora-hou*ea this hot

Thu burning of a bridge ntrar Husqnehaliniisliuts off

that, Instead of 1,445 cuttle on sale this day week, we 
now have only 93 head, making a light supply for the

treased, though they are not pletitv to day. H-ngs

doubtless Keep some back which the drouth had 
marked to be sent off for slaughter. Tho decline tn

Fresli Fruit#.- Every seasonable item Is again 
In abundance, and us the demaud at such a time 
cannot be equally distributed, several sorts are 
tending to low prices. At present the main trouble 
Is with apple* and watermelon*. Of the former we 
aro receiving some fine specimen* of early fruit, 
but owing to Us peji*nahlo nature buyers’ views 
have to he met. whole cargoes of Virginia water¬ 
melon* ure lying at the WbarVeS wffefeu nt $10 per 
100, and no medium sized melons can be quo led 
above $30. Suvunimh still holds the best trade, but. 
as New Jersey begin to arrive freely there Is not 
much enuourugcioent for future Southeru consign¬ 
ments, us the lutter have preference ou accuunt of 
freshness. During tho week wo have had 450 boxes 
of California BartTets, hut a large portion of tticm, 
especially those from the Washington nursery, 
caved badly. The hie 1. lot numbered about ‘JU boxes 
from Marysville, some of which brought $12. New 
Jersey Martlet* are In good supply, mostly green 
however, as they have been pulled to ease the trees. 
The season for Hart let* Is not expected to he a long 
one, a* wo shall have few from tho West. In our 
own neighborhood there is an abundance. Cooking 
pears are lower and sell well. Hartfyd grupes trmu 
Murfresboro. N. C- are on sale, buf it is too early 
for grapes. Catawba* from tho Derby farm. South 
Carolina, are also here, hut slow of sate. 
The quality or pearlies Is dally Improving. Borne 
days we receive as high as 60 car* of Delaware, be¬ 
sides Morristown, N. J. stock. The drop of peanuts 
is expected to far exceed last year's; Virginia ulono 
promises HIM,IDO bushels, the quality of which will be 
superior this year, ss the weather has favored the 
filling oT pods. Blackberries nut wunted. With a sup¬ 
ply of peaches: Miles this morning at lo. per pint. 
I’lums are abundant for the season, though not ripe 
enough to sell.
