Business Dull in Local Circles-Poul-
try in Demand.

SACRAMENTO, March 18th.
Business was not as lively as generally this
morning. outside buyers seeming to hold
aloof, awaiting change in the weather for
more favorable prices. The frost yesterday
morning caused the tender varieties Of Nege-
tables to suffer, and prices this morning were
trmer. The present prospect of warmer
spell, however, is most favorable to Nege-
tables, and prices should weaken rather than
advance.
Poultry was very scarce to-day, fancy prices
being offered for any lots TO be had. In fact.
dealers to-day had to sllirmish 10 meet orders
already awaiting fulhllment.
Fruits remain as they have been for several
days at q standstiu Inferior grades OF

The same may be said of Apples.
Butter is weaker, and Eggs are at stand
stlll, stocks holding up large with httle IN
quiry.
