improving in quality as the season advances.

varieties will no doubt soon be plentiful and
cheap. a limited quantity of Strawberries
was on sale today, retailing at 1871 cents per

ment in quality. Plums are still scarce with
Vegetables are in supply about equal to the

was slightly in excess OF the supply.
Eggs continue very firm at the advanced
rates.
