THE KITCHEN MARKET.
Fresh Vegetables From the South Are Now
on the Stalls.

on lne St3lls.
Market basket materials have undergone
few changes in the week past. Game and
poultry are in supply beyond the wants of
trade. and in these lines markets are not so
active as they were n week ago Dairy pro-
ducts are also weaker and only choicest
grades are in demand.
New vegetables from the sunny South are
coming to our markets much earlier than
usual. On the Diamond Market stalls fresh
peas, beans beets, cucunbers and lettuce
from New Orleans can be had by those with
whom cost is no serious item. Strictly
fresh eggs are scarcely a quotable quantity
Tie few that arrive are promptly taken at
outside prices. At the fish and oyster stalls
trade for the week is reported only fair.
Frozen fish are on sale, but only experts
can tell the difference between frozen and
fresh fish. Supply of oysters is sufficient for
all demands, but standard brands are steady
at prices quoted. Staple meats are the same
i'll price, but consumption has declined the
past week or two, owing to the demand for
poultry and game.
Florists report a quiet week with prices
practically the same as a week ago. ChryS-
anthemums are near the end of their career
for the season. Orchids are coming to the
front, and choice ones are in good demand
at outside prices.
