FRUIT-The receipts of Oranges this week
have scarcely been large enough to meet market
wants, and arrivals have consequently been
sold TO good advantage. Now that the novelty
of Eastern Apples has worn of, trade in this de-
scription is less active and prices shaping to
a lower level Strawberries find ready sale I'M

they have to be almost given away. Raspber-
ries have not appeared more than three times
this week, and then in small quantity and bad

BUTTER-Wholesale dealers continueto pack
literally, and some dairymen are said to be put
ting product in brine in preference to shipping

a downward tendency. We quote: California,

Creamery, l2(Gi4c q h.
EGGS-Although there is no strong tone to the
market, dealers expect that prices will remain
steady all next week owing to the approach of
| the Easter season. Supplies of domestic product
| have not been heavy during the past few days,
| but Eastern shipments have come to hand
pretty freely, being generally in frs-elass shape,
| and thus coming directly in competition with
| the home article. Quotable at f@1Sc p dozen
| for California, and 14@l5c for Eastern.
| P0ULTkY-Rajsers would do better to keep
back for time good portion of the Broiler
| stock now coming to market until the fowl be
| of larger growth and more fitted for trade re
| quirements. Some consgnments of this charac-
! ter go begging at 81 2 dozen. Business next
week is nos expected to be lively, and old stock
is likely to drag while it is barely possible that
current prices for full-grown young stock will
be maintained. We quote: Live Turkeys-Gob-
