SUPPLIES AND AN ACTIVE DEMAND FOR yEGETA-
LEGISLATURES OF THE PRESENT WEEK.

LEGISLATURES OF THE PRESENT WEEK
No new feature Is noticeable in the wholesale
market since the report OF last week. except in the
continued decline of fresh meats, bringing the
prices, especially in the low grades nearly down
to the old figures; the change In the better grades
not being so apparent. Prices are gradually
shading, and 1t is thought will soon reach the
usual rates prevailing at this OF the year.
In flour there has been no marked change
though the tendency Is rather towards an easier
basis The market is considered dull; purchasers
buying sparlngly as their needs require, while the
prices range low.
The receipts of good grades OF butter are mode
rate only, and the prices for such grades firm, as
the supply Is falling off, Inferior lots are not much
in demand, although the prices are steady at quo
tat.onS.
The supply OF eggs is also moderate, and prices
are firm, with upward tendency. The demand Is
steady with little prospect OF lower figures.
The live stock market Is dull, the butchers gene
rally having an over supply on hand from last
week. The general scare about the high prices OF
fresh meats has had marked effect towards gene
In cured meats there has been no change worthy
OF note The prices are firm at the same figures,
try Is In fair demand. Old hens and spring chick
ems rather advancing In price. Good hay Is in de-
very little call being made for it.
THE VEGETABLE MARKET
is lively as usual, there being no lack OF supplies
and no lack OF demand for them. The wholesale
men are all well satisfied with their operations
the present year, and say there has never been a
better season for fresh vegetables and fruits With
the exception of Strawberries. the early fruits
nave been abundant and generally OF good quail
tty, though there has been no oyerplus Dealers
