VEGETABLES.
4 good supply of almost every kind
OF vegetable IN season was received on
the last steamer. The consignments
of cabbage were particularly large and
nt excellent auaiity. The celery was
os better quality than that which
came on the preceding steamer. A
few boxes of rhuharh, the first Of the
season. and few lots Of asparagus
were also received. Both of the latter
found a ready sale. The quality u
new potatoes In the market is improv'
iitg. and stocks are moving more
rapidly. Green peas are no longer q
novelty. and owing 10 poor quality oil
stocks, movements are slow. Old pc
tatoes continue drug on the market.
