the Fifth ward yesterday. Vegetables
were plenty and fresher than usual
heretofore, the reason being that the
weather is much more favorable for
keeping, and the supply now comes
largely from home gardens instead OF
from the southeast as before. Butter
and eggs held their old prices, eggs sell
ing for 10 cents and butter from ~ 10 20
according to quality. Fish show a some
what firmer state of the market, though
jack are sold at the rate OF pounds for
a quarter; white and salmon bring Z
cents per pound, and cleaned cat
cents; Potomac shad, 40(G50 cents each.
CLANS were in fair demand at 90 cents a
peck. Old potatoes are up, selling at 30
(9 80 cents peck according TO condi-
ton. New potatoes are 20 cents quar-
ter peck. Kale, 10 cents peck; lettuce,
10 cents a quarter-peck. Radishes and
onions command better prices than they
did week ago, and now bring cents
a bunch. Old onions have almost dis
appeared, but bring 10 cents a peck
when they are found. Asparagus, 10
cents, or three punches for %; rhubarb,
. for cents; cucumbers, 10 cents each,
or three for a quarter. We saw no
green peas. Strawberries were not
plenty, but the supply at 35 cents a box
fully equalled the demand.
