Nashville Banner, 18th: st seems little
strange to a man walking through the market
that all kinds OF articles shonld be 80 high,
for there is an abundance of everything
The high prices are accounted for by the
fact that, owing to the late season in the
North, the bulk of the vegetables are
shipped. -. At meeting of the Fruit and
Vegetable Association member said it did
not pay to raise gooseberries, there was no
demand for them; others said II was the
same with strawberries few years ago, let
them ship the gooseberries. One party
had made more money this year on one acre
of asparagus than he would realize on
thirty-three acres of wheat, and his wheat
was very fine"

before witnessed here. A colored small
