The price Of dairy products is unchanged, but
markets are firm at quotations rise after
the turn of the year is about as certain as any
thing future can be. Eggs are very slow by
reason of soft weather. Hens are getting in
their work much earlier than usual, and the
only salvation for egg market is drop in the
mercury. 1t is many years since game has been
SO abundant and cheap. Choice poultry is firm
at quotations, and the Christmas turkey prom
ises to be higher than it has been for years past
There is an improved demand for potatoes, and
cabbage are very firm at double the prices Of
last month. Fruits Of all kinds are slow.
Florida oranges have not been SO low for years
at this time as they are now. About the only
domestic fruit now offered are apples, and mar
kets are sluggish, Notwithstanding the small
crop in this section.
