Local Quotations
(Wholesale prices revised dail


There are few changes of note to report
in the produce market Old potatoes have
fallen in price owing to increased arrivals
OF new stock and a glut of last years pro-
duct, which Is being shipped in from the
north by the carload. Some dealers quote
new potatoes as low as 81 per sack but this
Is considerably under the regular market
rate and is for small sizes. Eggs remain
stationary at 1O1a cents, being the usual
quotation, with variation of a cent either
way. But tea is firm and supplies clean
up well; Owing to the quantity being
packed in tubs, the market is kept with
no surplus on hand. Some of the dealers
anticipate a fall in prices within week
or by next steamer day. Monday. Poul-
try is dull except for broilers, for which
there is good demand and prices are we'll
sustained. Strawberries are becoming more
plentiful and now bring to 10 cents per
pound box by the crate. No cherries are
as yet in the market and none are expected
before the 10th of next month, the only
fruits outside of a few apples and oranges
being loquats and bananas. The latter
dainty has taken a slight jump and is
quoted at cents per bunch higher owing
to the warm weather.
