Domestic Fruits Nearly Over-Game and
Oysters to the Front
At the Diamond Market fruit and vege-
| table stalls, the uniform testimony is that
markets have been unusually quiet for the
week past. Prices are practically as they
we're a week ago.
With the exceptions of grapes and spples,
domestic fruits are things of tho past, and
the grapes coming in of late suffer from the
effects of November frosts, and are in small
demand. Bananas are mostly in the
condition of grapes, a large proper
tion of the late arrivals being frosted.
Fall vegetables are a shade lower than last
week in jobbing way, but the reduction
has not been sufficient to make any inn
preston on retail markets. Potatoes have
not been SO low for years as at the present
time. The difference in price between now
and year ago is equivalent to 81 a bushel
price as last Saturday. Fresh eggs are a
shade higher, the supply in this line being
very short of late. Eastern fish are not in
supply equal to demand owing to heavy
storms on the Atlantic the past few days.
Select oysters are also in limited supply.
Demand for oysters shows improvements,
but prices are unchanged. Florists report q
better trade this week than last The chry-
santhemum exhibition, together with nil-
merous society events, has brought heavy
demands on flowers
