VEGETABLES-Nearlys 500 boxes of Asparagus
arrived this morning. Prices are beginning to
weaken, as custom is being divided up among
other varieties. Green Peas are coming forward
more freely and are meeting with good atten-
ton. Rhubarb is in pretty good favor, and
stocks clean up well, as receipts are only mod
crate. We quote iobbing lots as follows:

FRUITS-Strawberries made small exhibit to-
day, selling at COO per bskt In Apples there is
good representation, while prices still shape in
favor of consumers. The supply of a strictly
choice article is not enough to meet trade wants.

offerings. We quote: Apples. 75c@s2 so Q

BUTTER-Within the past two or three days
there has been quite turn for the better in the
interest OF sellers. This is said to be the result
OF packing both in country and at city depots
The season is late one this year, and as it will
probably be short also the opinion prevails that
no retrograde move will occur in the way of

WOOL@There is no business. New spring
clip comes forward quite as literally as ex-
pected, but the market, all over, is so depressed
that receivers are not offering their Woods. As
to condition, the incoming clip promises to be
as good, If not better in some sections, than i.
was in 1887. Particularly is this expected to be
the case in arrivals from the San Joaquin Val
| ley, where old feed was eaten out before new
started and, in consequence, dealers anticipate
TO receive less seedy Woods from that one direc-
| ton at least. We quote:
Oregon
Eastern, choice, p
do, poor to good
