THE MARKET this morning was supplied
witt everything in season, though prices
have stiHened somewhat. There was va
riety of fruits, but the supply was not large
and for the best peaches l5c per quarter of
peck was charged. Bananas, which OF
late had been so numerous and cheap in our
market, were exceedingly scarce, so much
so that it eau no longer be asserted that
tropical.fruits are cheaper here than hone
products. Garden grapes seemed scarce
though fox grapes were plentiful: Green
spples are abundant and cheap. The sup
ply of vegetables, except cabbage, was va
ried but by no means excessive. Lima
beans had advanced from 10 lOc. Butter
is higher and scarce. Chinquapins appeared
on several benches and quarters of young
pork were hung here and there. The butch
ers had good supplies of meats in their line,
but zoe per ID. for the best cuts of beef-the
old war price of iS63-was demanded by
some. There were few fresh fish on the
benches, but they, two, were high. Sweet
cider was in abundance at 20 a 25c per gal,
