The receipts of strawberries were large.
and good many Of them had to be looked
over, as they were not IN good con
dition and many of them were green. Prices
ranged from $3.50 to So. 70 pei. 24-quart case
for ANYTHING except very choice or very poor.
Receipts of eggs SO far this week are 3,07l
cases. against 4, 595 cases during the first
five days last week. The market is still firm
with lie, including cases, the prevail,
ing price for fine fresh eggs. Good
choice potatoes are in fairly good de-
mana. Mixed carlots for shipments are
quotable at 23@25c. Oranges are moving
very we'll and a good market is noted. Good
sound fruit is firm at the prices quoted.
Weather is cold and unfayorable for trade in
fresh vegetables Still fairly good bust
ness is being done to-day. Asparagus is
scarce and prices are again up. Stocks OF
pie plant show some thinning out and prices
are steady The weak and dragging tone
that has prevailed in poultry for the past few
DAYS still continues, though the receipts are
considerably smaller. The butter market is
weak on ali but fine grades and packiug
stock. In fact, they are the only grades thai
are really selling well. The demand is ex
cellent for both fancy creamery and dairy,
with the latter in the most favor among buy
ers, but there is very little coming III thai
grades up to the top, and such lots clean uE
closely. The offerings of veal were small
this morning, but the demand was not brisk.
