Poultry Tending Higher and Eggs Are
steadily Declining.

In the week past market basket materials
have not materially changed in price, with
the exception of eggs. The high price of
eggs q week or two ago resulted in bringing
large quantities from the South, and prices
are lOc per dozen below what they were a
week ago. Poultry is a shade 1irmer in a
jobbing way than it was last week. Supply
has been scarcely up to demand for the past
few days. At the Diamond Market fruit
and vegetable stalls the business of the
week is reported only fair, with prices un-
changed. New vegetables from tie South
are coming in freely, but demand for them
is light, owing to the low price of old vegeta-
bles
Staple meats rarely change in price what.

ed quiet and slow, As is the rule inmed ate
ly before Lent. Florists report far de-
mand for their goods, with prices as they
were a week ago. ~
