Business has been dull the past week.
Apples have been coming in very freely
and on account of the supply have been
selling quite slowly. Cabbage, turnips
and potatoes have been coming in more
freely and the demand has slackened
up. Butter is in light supply, and the
demand is still very good. Poultry Is In
fair supply and the demand is heavy. As
the Lenten season is upon us, the demand
for eggs has increased very perceptibly,
and the supply being unequal to 1t, has
sent up the price two cents. The following
