demand is good. Macknac trout on the
stalls, for the first time this season, within the
past week. OF Eastern fish, shad are in fair
supply, but high in price. Oysters will be at an
end next week. Home-raised vegetables will be

supply of home-raised garden stuff is to be had
in the early part of April. But so far little or
none has been offered. Florists report active
demand for their products.
