The Critic and record., 1891-05-06
LOCAL MARKETS.

The vegetable trade is conspcuously the
liyeiest in Centre Market Just now, but
the CRITIC RECORD has to report prices as
holding stubborn stiffness. Garden
truck appears more plentiful than ever,
but that seems to afford no advantage to
the consumer.
Beef and mutton at retail are not vet
affected by upward tendency of the whole
sale market, but rise is expected shortly,
in view of the fact that in the last ten
days beef at wholesale is higher by 81 per
hundred and 81 to SO per hundred for
mutton.
Spring chickens are becoming more
! plentiful and are little cheaper than last
week. A fair supply of live chickens is
| on hand.
A fair trade continues in fish, with no
material change in prices.
Butter seems TO sympathize with beef,
and is almost unaccountably scarce and
| consequently high. The supply is more
backward than it has been known for
| years.
Groceries of all kinds range about the
same as last reports, with fair trade in
| staple goods.
