natl brands az 25G26c.
Our retail market continues to be poorly sup
piled with articles for family consumption, and
prices rule very high. Fresh meats of all
kinds have gone up to almost fabulous prices
for this market. We have never before known
fish to command the exorbitant prices now
asked. and the few early vegetables that have
been brought to market are correspopdlngty
hig-priced. As FOR l,utter--gvoi butter--it al
most commands lis weight IN silver. Almost
everything forsale N oui market appear, to us
to be unreasoaah'y high, and the resenti is Ger
tainlya most favorable time for onr country
friends TO dispose OF their surplus produce, &c.

as follows:--
Butter--very little offering that is fit for
