FROST has nlpped Tomatoes, Cucumbers. Egg
Plauts and other tender varieties, and the
harder ones VIII from this on have to tie de-
pended upon. Salinas Potatoes are about
gone. Nevstdas are now the best on sale, and are
very good and meet with ready sale.
Poultry moves very slowly, though prices at
present are very reasonable.
Butter is very firm, with no present pros
pect OF either change in receipts or prices
becoming lower. firkin is filling the wants Of
many vino are unable TO procure choice Val
ley. Choice Rancn Eggs are very scarce and
Inc lew dozens whica md their way into the
market do not La to lie long before they are
disposed OF, even at the current high rates, 40
cents per dozen. Fresh Eastern and cold stor-
age are plentiful.
Game is also very scarce and in great de
mand. There are no Ducks to he had, except
III scattering lots, and they are generally of
the common varieties. Quail are in receipt
two calls for every pair which comes TO the
market. The whole situation is about this in
regard 10 game-there is none to be had in
these parts excepting Quail, Rabbits and
Geese, and even they are so scarce that hunt
ers nnd II an Improbable business bagging
them. As for Ducks, about the only place
where they can be found in quantities is about
the marshes in the lower Sacramento. and the
sloughs around Suisun and san Pablo BAYS
and those Killed in these parts md their way
to the san Francisco markets where the de-
mand is very stiff. The only hope for Sacra-
mentans is for heavy storm to set in.
