Retail dealers in groceries and other food
products report a general improvement in the
volume OF business during the past week. The
market is well supplied with choice vegetables
and fruits, though the latter are beginning to
get little scarce. The only strictly choice ap-
pies to be had now are those shipped in from
the East and they come quite high. Choice
navel oranges have advanced, but the present
stocks are Of better quality than usual. Cali
fornia butter is cheaper. Salmon is about out
OF the market. but some is expected from the
Columbia river next week Haibut is abun-
dant for local demand, but the supply for ship
ping 10 limited, as the rough weather has pre-
vented fishermen from catching them in the
straits Native chickens are abundant at %
cents per pound. The quality is very fine and
the demand is fair.
