Fruits and Vegetables Very Low-Ocean
Products Quiet.
The opportunity for filling the market
| basket ut low prices has not been better for
| years than it is at present. Peaches were in
| short supply in the early part OF the week
! but are now In supply more than sufficient
to meet all demands. Quality of peaches of
| fered has very much improved in the past
| week. Grapes are coming in at the rate of
three to four cars daily, and prices are in
clining downward. Vegetables of all kinds
are SLOW and dull at prices of a week ago
There is no longer q scarcity of creamery
| butter as we have reported for a few weeks
past. Supply is more than equal to demand.
High prices of butter have brought oleo to
the 'front.' and as a result markets have
weakened. Strictly fresh eggs are scarce
and higher. At tile fish and oyster stalls
trade is reported slow The weather is too
warm TO" oysters. Western fish are scarce,
with the exception of herring. White fish,
salmon and trout are in short supply. Fresh
mackerel and crabs are about out for this
season and frogs are very scarce. Florists
report trade very Quitt in their line, with
prices the same as week ago.

ups and downs of live stock. Follow
