Poultry, EGGS and Dairy Products Firm
Fish and Oy.ters Scarce.
At the Diamond Market fruit and vege-
table stalls trade for the week was unusually
light, and prices in the main are what they
were week ago In a joDbing way dairy
products are a shade higher than they were
last week. but the advance has not been
sufficient to make much impression on retail
markets. Strictly fresh eggs are very scarce
and outside prices are easily obtained. Alas,
for the weakness of human nature. large
quantities OF cold storage eggs are being I'M
loaded as fresh stock. Poultry and game
not in as large supply this week as last, and
demand is good for all that are offered.
Home raised gra pes are things of the past,
and Malagas are now to the front. Choice
Malaga and TOkay grapes are i'll good de-
mand at outside prices. The storms of the
week past on lake and ocean have had the
effect of lessening the catch of fish, and sup
ply in these lines has not been mp to de-
mand. Select oysters are also in short sup
ply. Society events of late have called for
noral offerings to an unusual degree. and
florists are happy over results. Among the
new things in floral lines are hyacinths and
the lily of the valley.
