SACRAMENTO MARKET.
Strawberries and Cherries in Good
Demand.
SACRAMENTO. Nav 1899


SACRAMENTO, May IL, 1892.
A resume of the market for the past week
shows that while there is plenty in many of
the staple lines prices have stiffened in some
articles, notably so in shipping qualities of
Cabbage Potatoes, Cherries and Strawber-
ries. Regarding the latter two the changeable
state of the weather has caused setback in
ripening and choice articles are in much de-
mand, supplies being very short. Tartarian
Cherries of splendid quality. but in small
quantity, have been displayed, but the high
prices in the East has made it more profitable
to ship. Other varieties are more plentiful,
but the quality is not up to that standard
which would call for large sales. Strawber-
ries are very backward and choice in great de-
mand. In fact, as local dealer to-day re-
marked: 1--WE can handle every pound we
can lay hands on, and then cannot meet or
ders."
There is also a great demand for hard Cab
bage for shipping, and growers find ready
sale. Soft Cabbage for the local trade is freer,
and receipts equal to the demand. Potatoes
are also scarce, and although large consgn-
ments have arrived from Oregon the market
is not fully supplied. Other lines of vegeta-
bleS are well represented.
Pineapples, Cocoanuts ana Bananas are in
supply to meet all demands at reasonable fig
ureS.
In Canned Goods there is little doing Local
Gamers have confined themselves to Aspar-
agus, the supply OF berries being too limited
ana prices too high to admit of being hand led
for canning purposes.
Wheat, Flour and other grains are in good
supply and rates unchanged. The outlook for
cereals in Sacramento County is reported eX-
ceptionally good, and big crops are anticf-
pated. Old Hay is plentiful, no change being
noted IN rates. The first crop of Alfalfa was
badly damaged by rains, and the quality in
consequence much below the standard
Should the sunshine of the past few days con
tinue new Hay will make its appearance in
not in all probability, be an over-abund ant
supply, as Wheat and Barley are looking so
well in this valley that farmers believe these
grains to be too good TO cut for Hay
