Strawberries Coming in Freely-Prices
Rapidly Declining.

Rapidly Declining.
SACRAMENTO, May 18th.
The warm weather has caused Strawberries
and Cherries to ripen rapidly, and to-day the
markets were well supplied with the former,
retailing at 10 to 1917 cents per pound, the
latter price for very choice quality. Cher
ries came in more freely, also, but most of the
receipts were Immediately bought up for
shipment, and IN consequence fancy prices
were asked. Gooseberries were more plenti-
full. Vegetables continue in good supply at
very reasonable rates. Choice String Beans
We're a little short to-day. Other lines are
well represented, excepting Onions, which are
very tirm.
There is no change in the Dairy Produce
situation Butter is plentiful and cheap.
Eggs are firm, and Poultry in supply fully
equal to the local demand.
