Fruit and Vegetable Market.

Reported by G. s. Palmer, 1876 Redde ST., N. Y.
New YoRK, Feb. 2-The total receipts OF
Florida oranges via various lines to-day were
about 700 boxes. 1t is to be regretted that so
large a portion of the fruit still arrives in
wasty condition, and were it not for this fact,
which has tended to lessen the confidence Of
dealers. prices would rapidly advance under
present light receipts. Retailers find that the
fruit decays so quickly that many are now
using the foreign. Florida, however, will com
mand the attention of the fine trade, aud any
thing strictly fancy will realize favorable prices.
Bri nts range in price from 81 251$2 80 per
box, es to quality and condition; rIssets, ST. O0t
rs. There is a slight demand for tangarines
but mandarns have but little call. There are
few lots OF green peas arriving and those OF
beans mostly inferior quality, and prices range
from 81 00@13 90 crate. Fancy stock would
bring 81 0 lGo4 50 a crate Egg plant scarce and
in demand and selling from So 000l2 90 bar
rel. A few quarts of Strawberries have been
received, but quality inferior. Fancy berries,
however, are wanted, and dealers are willing to
pay fancy prices for such.

Facts Worth knowing

In all diseases of the nasal mucous
membrane the remedy used must be
non-irritating. The medical profession
has been slow to learn this. Nothing
satisfactory can be accomplished with
douches, snuffs, powders or sYringes
because they are all irritating, do not
thoroughly reach the affected surfaces
and should be abandoned as worse than
failures. A multitude of persons who
had for years borne all the worry aud
pain that cataVTh can iDflict testify to
radical cures wrought by Eiy's Cream
Balm.

property could be bought at private sale
at a certain figure. The CAPITAL In re-
