"How's business" asked n .Journ.,
grocer as he saunterei into his estab-
.'Snment yesterday morning. ..Theres not,,
lug gong on about the city, and I've GOT n
nave something to fill up with"
Business. echoed the dispenser .,s mr.,
'isiohs' Business is poorly fair. Local trade
go"d; out farmers amt comm in from
the country much now, the goin' is So had
This alfred cold weather hurts trade ,Ie.,s
are plenty, and rather high. Apples rema;,
ABOUT the same as they have been for month
from SloO to $500 a barrel. Good butter
Is rainier scurse, and sells readily from % to
~ cents pound. Turkeys are out of the
market. Veal is coming in in sufficient oman
t''ies TO meet the demand. 1t is worth from
$40 10 cents pound. Farmers are slaughter
ing juicy pigs which weigh from 80 to go
pounds, and make the most delicious fresh
pork, which goes as fast as ] can chop it I'D.
at IL to IL cents pound. Eggs are plenty.
and sell for Is cents Dozen"
At the Central Fish Market we found the
proprietor and his clerks busy at work filling
their orders. The place is kept as neat as
wax, and it will sharpen ones appetite to
visit it. Mr.. Moulton says that this is the
most difficult season of the year to cater to
the wants Of his patrons, as there is very
little variety in the market. The first shad
| of the season arrived last week, much earlier
than usual. The gay and festive fish sold for
80 cents apiece. They are SO expensive that
substitute for ordinary folks may be had bv
soaking lot of brown paper to pulp, throw
ing in lot Of cambria needles and frying to
turn. 1t should be served with sliced lemon.
and few will know the difference.
people are eating great deal of fruit
now say the dealers. That is right Al
though oranges are not cure for all the ills
to which flesh is heir, yet they are great
benefit In the spring months when they are
so plenty, cheap and delicious. Taken be-
fore breakfast they sharpen the appetite; set
one to rights who feels out of sorts and are
said to be a preventive and cure for the ap-
petite for strong drink. Now that Florida
sends such quantities of this juicy fruit, peo-
pie are eating more every year. The past
winter has been a proof of what can be ac-
complished by way of increasing quantity
and quality, and creating a correspond
ing increase in the demand for a choice ar
ticle. Each year the facilities will be better
for raising, the quality increased. the ship
ment more complete, and prices lower. This
years Florida crop is about exhausted, but
the Mediterranean fruit is coming in in large
quantities, and of fine iavor-growing bet
ter with each weeks arrival. This crop will
last till the middle of May, when oranges will
be supplemented by bananas, home fruits
and berries. Lemons are no less necessary
than oranges. and preferred by many for their
acidity, as purifier of the blood. Oranges
range from 10 to so cents dozen; lemons,
25 cents a dozen. Bananas sell for cents
piece. Dates bring about 10 cents pound,
and figs % to 80.
