LOCAL MARKETS.

Changes in the prices at Center Market
since the last report are few and far be-
tween. Even the few are not at all in the
nature of making living cheaper.
Beef being higher than ever at whole
sale prices affords little hope for some
time to come of any improvement in re-
tail cuts. There is a lively trade in poul-
try, with prices unchanged for ordinary
roasting, and continued stiff quotations
for spring size, although the supply has
more than doubled since the last report
Baltimore is furnishing most of the mar
ket and getting snug prices from local
retailers.
Trade in fresh fish is little dull, though
has not yet affected prices.
The liveliest business is naturally in
new spring vegetables, yet quotations are
firm and in some instances higher on ac-
count of tardiness in getting a full
supply.
Groceries are unchanged.
