OUR FAMILY MARKET REVIEW,

The weather during the first part of the week having
been quite mild and fall like, had depressing influence
on the city retail market trade. On Thursday night,
however, "Jack Frost' made his appearance, and his
advent made the marketmen look quite CHEEKY. AS we
predicted in last weeks article prices OF domestic
marketing have gone up little, with tendency still that
way In the beef mutton and veal trade the wholesale
dealers pretty high in their prices, but it did not
appear make any particular change the retail prices
this, however, is only question Of short time before
they too, will be raised Our markets are well supplied
with game Of all kinds and SHOULD the weather continue
cold expect to hear Of large supplies from
Canada and the West as is the prices quoted below
cannot be considered too high try been rather
are very low vensou, which is much sought for IS be-
coming more plenty. In the poultry and game trade
anticipate come Improvement in the Market provided the
held at rmer prices; Of bad qualities they be pur-
chased low. Sweet potatoes appear plenty, but from
some unexplained cause, they are affected with rot
probably caused by the mild weather Apples have ad-
vanced little in price, with a tendency to go little
higher Cranberres continue scarce and command high
prices The quantity of the eastern crop Is good
as last year, with one or two local exceptions
