LOCAL MARKETS.

stroll through the Centre Market. II is
ever an attractive place at this season.
The sights are interesting, the trade is
brisk and there are odOrs appetizing To
the Carnal senses as well as grateful and
soothing to the most fastidious olfaCtOries.
Only few slight changes mark the
list of quotations as last reported. Prime
fresh meat still maintains q stiff price on
account Of scarcity, especially in first
class beef. Though the butchers have dill
gently looked out for their customers,
they have to complain little that the
demand is falling Off The best informed
see no chance of improvement in prices
either for them or for consumers. There
is lively trade in fresh fish, with no APP
preciable change in quotations. Trout
are very plentiful and popular with the
trade. There is slight advance in shad.
The vegetable market, as usual at this
season, is quite lively, but carly spring
prices hold up nearly as they began.
Groceries are about thesame, with fair
trade. Flour somewhat higher. Canned
goods hold good trade yet, Cured meats
are steady, with quiet trade.
Having made the rounds and provided
the staff of life for the day, let's stop

erfumes. That costs nothing, and then
