q. The demand for all sorts of winter vegeta bles
IS lar in excess OF the supply. Cabbages, espe-
cially, are sought after, but very few are 20 be
had, even at the tempting prices now offered.
The trouble is that the Chinese, who have al
most monopoly OF the business now, planted

since the heavy rains, and will not be in again
before about the first of April. Caulifower is

other table vegetables There is good demand
for all kinds OF vegetables for the Eastern mai
ket, when furnished in not less than half car

butter is being consumed in this town.

certain extent The lush pasture makes the
cows yield milk in abundance, and the cream
cries and cheese factories are turning out i'm
mefse quantities OF their respective products.
