THE KITCHEN MARKET,
Home-Raised Stuff to the Front-Butter
and Eggs Are Slow.

Home-raised fruits and vegetables are now
at the front, and Southern stock is no more
in demand. Native strawberries are now at
their best. Raspberries are coming in freely,
and will soon take the place of stra berries.
Melons have put in their first appearance
within a few days, but prices are still steep.
In the line of dairy products the week has
developed no new features. Creamery and
country butter is practically the same in
price as it was week ago. Eggs of doubt
full quality have been coming in freely of
late and prices are shade lower. The hot
weather of the past few days has cast a
shade of doubt on all hen fruit. Stock that
can be warranted strictly fresh is in demand
at outside quotations. Supply and demand
for lake and ocean products are light, q
thing to be expected at this season. The
Ohio laws require that nets shall be removed
from Lake Erie June Is. From now on till
cold weather Lakes Huron and Superior will
be the sources of supply. Florists report
fair trade with prices the same as week
ago.
