MARKET AND TRADE REVIEW.
THE SEATTLE MARKETS.

The California strawberry Is now about
out OF market. Saturdays and Sunday
receipts were very light. The rain OF last
Saturday will prove of great benefit TO local
growers as the lack OF rain as been the
one thing that has held back the native
berry. From now on the local market VIII
no doubt be we'll supplied.
Head lettuce Is now coming into market
In abundance. The dollhouse variety is now
out Of season.

ceived Saturday.
