MARKET MELANGE.

Some Of the Features Of tho Past Week,
Strawberries Are Very Scarce.
The changes in the market quototions
during the past week have been Of an
interesting nature. Cotfeei that week
ago were bull feature have this week
dropped cent pound, and a further
decline is looked for, Sugars, however,
continue to rise, and the present whole
sale quotations Rre the highest since
free sugar, as far as customs duties are
concerned, became an accomplished
fact. How much further 1t will go up
is problematical.
The cold weather OF the week past
appears to have been general, and OK
tended especially over the early fruit
districts Of eastern Virginia and Caro-
lima. One Of the consequences 10 an
extreme scarcity in the local markets
OF strawberries. In fact, ono gentleman
lust returned from Norfolk says that
the low temperature has killed q large
proportion Of tho strawberry yield. Not
berry could DO found in the city yes
terday afternoon, The local berry crop
is also said to have been hurt some
what.
II hogs continue to rise in price as
they have been doing for the past three
weeks, the high water mark Of last
winter will be reached.
