Decided Setback.

More Actiye-PouItry Dealers Are Busy

RosToN. June %. As indicated last
week southern truck has received seC
back this week at the hands of the nearby
market gardeners. As the season advanced
each line of the great vegetable family
reaches its maturity under the natural ell
malic conditions and as surely as It's pro
duct reached Boston market just so surely
does its southern grown brother disappear
from the trade.
The Enthusiastically native vegetable Is
carefully grown and harvested and comes
into market in attractive packages IN
crisp, fresh state, which in the southern
truck is generally not seen.
Green Peas.
Green peas which are usually on the
market by June II are a little late TINS
year. To be sure one enterprising market
gardner who, alive to the needs OF his SOIL
with the use Of fertilizer managed to get
few bushels of handsome pods on the mar
ket on the 18th. This was, however, an
exception, and the price realized was cor
respondingly exceptional.
Today there is n fair supply of native
peas on the market, Sl.5J to Sl.75 bushel
being the average price they will brlAJ.

and although very fine it is hard to get
more than - cents box at wholesale.
Berries are also coming from New jersey
Long Island and Connecticut, but IN quar-
ity these are not up to the natives, and are
worth about 6 to 10 cents quart A lew
peaches are here from Florida. They come

Boston's butter market shows little fea-
ture this week. The demand seems light
and in a general way the market Is of
about half a cent In quality the re-
CENTS could scarcely be better, and for
storage, butter is now at its best. As yet
but small amount has been stored Last
week 1900 tubs were stored in Boston,
and in all there are 10000 tubs of butter in
the Quincy storehouse.
