Few Changes in Prices The Lun Which
Follows Holidays.
Prices of market basket filing have not ma
terially changed since last Saturday. The mild
wintry weather of the week has no doubt cur.
tailed demand. At the Diamond Market stalls
trade is reported uncomfortably quiet for the
week past. The first German cabbage of the
season put in an appearance this week. Cucum.
bers are scarce and higher. Other vegetables
remain as quoted week ago. With the excep.
tion of cod and haddock all the offerings in fish
lines are now frozen stock. Demand for fish
has been light since the holidays, but
prices are maintained. There has been
scarcity oflarge salmon for few days past and
also of selected oysters. Supply OF standard
oysters is light but demand corresponds. The
game season is practically over and rabbits are
about all that can be had in this line and they
are little wanted.
The old reliable meats are in better demand
since the holiday feasting on poultry but
prices remain UNCHANGED. The ups and downs
of live stock rarely affect prices of meat and
tender loin steaks. When prime beeves were
selling at &C per pound alive, the best cuts were
sold at about the same price as now. when top
price is &c per pound.
Florists report great trade since the holiday
rush, and lower prices. We are having the re-
action which uniformly follows the Christmas
and New Years boom.
Butter eggs and poultry are the same in
price as last Saturday.
