The produce and iobbing market continues
steady as Tar as prices are concerned, but trade
was very dull yesterday all around. The first
native lettuce came in from vashon island
yesterday.
Retail trade keeps up its usual activity and
prices are unchanged, except that oranges and
cranherries are little cheaper and good apples
ere getting scarce and higher. Eggs are lower
a Is also California butter. No change has
besn noted in the price OF meats, poultry or
fish, but trade in this line is trifle duller.
