From Georgia.
Prices of market basket filling have raised
very little from those of last week. At the
fruit and vegetable stalls trade was reported
as very quiet, owing to the unexpected wintry
weather. Butter eggs and poultry are firm,
and jobbers report an upward tendency, but
there has not been a sufficient upward move
ment to make any serious impression on retail
markets. Hotbed stuff has been knocked by the
weather. About all the homegrown stuff now
on the stalls is lettuce. The first installment Of
new peas has put in an appearance from
Georgia, and so cents a quarter peck is the
price. The influence of Lent is felt in the in
creased demand for fish, and lighter demand
for the old reliable meats. But the effect Is
not so strong as it was week ago.
