San Francisco Market Review

IlSAN FRANCISCO, March 31.-In the potato mar
ket there are special changes to note, and
the market continues firm.
Onions are active, and some very choice lots
from Alvarado are selling as high as $4.75Gs5
per GENITAL.
Oranges are about the same. The good de-
mand continues for choice navels, and some
especially excellent specimens are selling at
$3.50 box. There is light demand for seed
lings, either Riverside or Los Angeles.
Good apples are very scarce.
In the way of vegetables, asparagus is yet in
good demand at fair prices. Green peas and
string beans are weaker and lower. Rhubarb
comes in literally, but the demand is very
active.
The produce market was strong, and prices
were higher for leading cereals this morning.
The English market was very strong, and pri-
vate cables quote higher rates than those fur
nished by Beerbohm. Shippers will pay $1.53A
per GENITAL for good No, shipping. Choice lots
sell readily Mt the usual advance. The barley
marketis strong: the demand for choice grades
is fair Holders ask 81 40 per GENITAL, but that
price has not yet been obtained. Oats are firm.

The query, fought the knife and
fork to go up with the plate for a sec
ond serving, or be left on the knife
standP is one upon Which authorities
differ. The correspondent will assur.
eddy be in very good company to send
up the implements. Kniferests are
not found on every table. They are
not seen at cerelnonious and elegant
dinners
1t has been claimed that to leave
knife and fork on the plate interferes
with the carver's work; but it need
not, as there is always room to place
the desired serving at one side. 1t is
also claimed that in the hands of an
unskillful waiter the plate may be tilted
to shoot knife and fork, either or both.
to the floor, or worse, against the back
OF some unsuspecting guest; but this
emergency seems almost too unusual
to be provided against, If one is careful
to place the articles evenly and well
poised across the dinner plate.
Individual kniferests being undesir-
able, the alternative remains of hold.

Trisles Easy to Make,

If any woman is In need of a con.
venient little work basket, and has a
good strawberry box, here is sug-
gestion for her. Not long ago an
Ingenious woman painted such a box
thoroughly with several coats of white
enamel paint. A thick layer of wad-
ding was then laid in the bottom and
over the sides, then lining of bright
yellow silk was placed inside. The silk
was shirred and turned in at the top In
a narrow frill that set up an inch above
the edge of the basket.
A pretty receptacle for flowers is
made by painting tall and well shaped
tumblers of clear and perfectly plain
