SACRAMENTO MARKET.
Slight Improvement in Business In
Local Circles.


SACRAMENTO, March I'd.

the local markets and stocks moved off fairly
well. Vegetables OF ali kinds are now doing
well, with the possible exception of Aspara-

Citrus Fruits are in plentiful supply, Mexican
Lines being the only short article. There is
little doing in Apples, the inquiry being light.
Poultry is firm, with fair demand. Eggs and
Butter are weak.
