Garden Stuff on the Advance-Ocean Pro-
ducts Quiet. -.
The season for garden stuff is close to its
end and prices are higher than they have
been any time this season. Tomatoes are
firm at 50 90 per busheI, whereas at the be-
ginning of the month they were slow at
three bushels for 81 co.
At the Diamond market fruit and vege-
table stalls trade for the week is reported
dull. The season for grapes is nearly over,
and, while receipts have been light the past
few days, demand is also light. Potatoes
are now at the lowest point they have
been for years, and it is doubtful if there will
be better time to Law in winter supplies
than right now. year ago at this time Do-
tatoes were firm fit 81 90 per bushel Now
they are slow at so cents per bushel. At the
fish stalls trade is reported backward for
the season. Select oysters are scare and
firm. The same is true of frogs and CLANS
Goldfish and haddock are so high in Boston
that our dealers are not inclined to lay in
supplies All Eastern fish are unusually
high. Staple meats are sold at old prices
Demand, however, has declined the past
week, owing to large receipts and lower
prices of poultry.
