Prices this Morning
at Center Market.

Tuesday, the first full market day OF the
week, is usually we'll attended by both retail
dealers and buyers. The country wagons now
extend at the Central for the length OF the
blocks between Seventh and Tenth streets on
the south side of the main building, and along
that route some very good bargains can De
picked up about 10 in the morning. All the
market houses OF the city bold their fullest
markets on Tuesday. Thursday, and Satur-
day mornings, but several of them are open
every day in the week.
The hothouses are now beginning to bring
in lettuce. radishes. cress and greens OF all
sorts. and prices IN that line of eatables are
on the downward tendency. Oranges are not
quite as much in season as they were, and
prices remain firm or are going up.
II il had not been for the recent cold snap
many might have been eating strawberry
cake by this time.
The early crop here and as far south as
Florida was nipped, and that will keep prices
steady until the second crop comes. There is
no need to hurry up ones buying OF these
dainties. since there is sure to be an abundance
of them when they are in season.
The current quotations are by no means
time index OF what bargains shrewd buyer
may pick up on a market day, for there is no
board to regulate the prices for produce. The
wholesale dealers generally pay for what
they get according to quality. and as they
expect TO live, they charge fair profit, and
so does the retail dealer. unless it grows too
hot or cold for his wares. Then one can pick
up bargains at ones own prices almost. The
best place ior bargains probably is with
dealers out of doors. who do moi avail them
selves OF the cold storage privileges but are
anxious to make sales and get home.
Prices reported this morning are:
