SACRAMENTO, February 7th
Business is very quiet" is the remark that
was heard on all sides about the markets to-
day, and if one is to judge from the few buy
ers noticed about the different stores, he
would not wonder at the remark 1t could
not have been the result of shortage in
stocks, for all lines were fairly well repre-
sented. 1t is true in many cases articles are
not of the best, but SO long as the cold and
damp weather continues one cannot expect to
secure choice Fruits or Vegetables. The
ground is so soaked with water that Vege-
tables are almost drowned out Particularly
Is this the case with Asparagus, Lettuce, Gel
cry and Cabbage, the first named article being
entirely out Of market. Green Peas were in
better supply to-day, but they still bring
figure that is within reach of but few.
Game was in very moderate supply, receipts
being confined to Quail. Rabbits and Squir-
rels and Ducks came IN, but not enough TO
cause any decline in prices.
Butter and Eggs are at present in overstock
and prices are growing weaker.
Poultry is plentiful for all local wants, and
as the san Francisco market is well stocked
with both local and Eastern, there is but little
business done in the shipping line.
Meats, both fresh and salt, are very firm,
and prices rule high.
