THE MARKET BASKET
Eggs and Poultry Firm Here-vcgetab1es
and Meats Unchanged.

Poultry, eggs and dairy products have
shown an upward tendency the past week
This is largely due to the severely cold
weather. Fresh eggs are good stock at an
advance of &c per dozen over prices of q
week ago Demand for creamery and coun-
try roll butter has improved in the past
week, and prices are a shade higher. At the
Diamond market fruit and vegetable Stalls
trade is reported very slow, with prices
practically the same as they were last Sat
urday. Staple meats move along in the old
ruts. The retail price rarely changes, what
ever the ups and downs of live stock may
be. At the fish and oyster stalls trade is re-
ported quiet. Frozen stock constitutes the
bulk of offerings in this line. A few fresh
cod, had dock. shad and bass are still TO the
front. Select oysters are in short supply and
p shade higher at sources of supply, but not
enough to make an impression on our retail
markets. Florists report a fair weeks trade,
with prices essentially the same as a week
ago.
