THE KITCHEN MARKET.
New Vegetables From Bermuda and Florida
on the Local Stalls.

New Vegetables From Bermuda and Florida
on the Local stalls.
The features of the week in produce lines
have been the drop in eggs and country butter
Last Saturday jobbing price Of eggs was 25c per
dozen. Now markets are slow at lSc. Sof,
weather is responsible for the drop. Poultry
of all kinds is scarce and prices are firm at an
advance on last week.
Fresh Bermuda onions and Florida tomatoes
are to be found on the stalls, thing unknown
by the oldest inhabitant this early in the sea-
son. Another remarkable feature of the mar
kets is the presence of fresh fish from the
lakes. Frozen stock is in light supply, but
this is offset by the fact that fishermen are still
able to secure a supply of fresh fish, thing
almost unknown at this time OF the year in
former seasons.

A SPURT IN OIL.
The Market Boosted by Pipe Line Reports
aud Eastern BuIIs.

The Market Boosted by Pipe Line Reports
and Eastern Bulls.
Several influences combined to make lively
oil market yesterday. The effect of the pipe
line report had been discounted, but its buIlish
features had their legitimate effect upon
prices. It shows decrease Of So5S, 900 of GER
tificates; a decrease of net stocks of 81, ,4S3; a
decrease of gross stocks of 727.4S0, and an In
crease of credit balances Of 27S,SS9 The last
item shows where some of the certificates
went
The market opened firm at 81 OF, sold up to
81 O6 during the day, and closed at 81 061-the
highest since November Il, when the quotation
was 81 12H. Trading was good at all points.
Pittsburg was on the bull side, and bid the
market up when it was discovered that New
York was buyer. Bradford was bearish
The real strength of the market came from
New York, which had been preparing for such
a movement for some time. and depended upon
Pittsburg as an ally in carrying out the scheme
Whether the advance will hold is extremely
doubtful. Some think it a speculative furry
which will subside in "a day or two. Be this as
it may, the outlook is good SO far as surface in
dicatIons are worth anything. and brokers are
encouraged.
The range was: Opening. 81 O4; highest,
81 061f; lowest, 81 "; closing, 81 O61Z~
The Stephenson Company's No. 2, on the Fer
guson farm, struck top sand yesterday, and

Country Produce-Jobbing Prices.
Rainy weather is still adverse to trade. Coun-
try butter is very slow. Choice creamery is
fairly steady. There is great scarcity Of poul-
try, and markets show an upward drift. The
egg market gives no signs of revival from the
late depression, and unless cold weather comes
to the rescue Of trade, no improvement can be
looked for. Large quantities of eggs are COM
ing in from the South and West where hens
are getting in their work much ahead Of their
average time. Cold storage and picked eggs,
which are usually in good demand at this sea-
son OF the year, are hard to give away. The
open winter has spoiled a multitude Of plans
for gain in produce lines, and there is now no
hoDe Of recovering lost ground, no matter what
the weather bureau may do for trade.

the market for round lots for long-scattered

sellers think there is every reason to look for
an active and healthy demand as soon as busi-
ness inciuent to stock-taking is out of the way.
