The supply Of that class of goods was
much better last week than at any previ-
Gus time this year and the quality was
also better. Prices of course broke on
nearly all lines, owing to the increased
receipts, but still the demand was sufficient
to keep quotations from going very low.
Green peas, wax beans, radishes, lettuce,
spinach and all such lines are selling lower
than they were n week ago and the quota
tons will be found in another column.
The potato market, however, has been
going steadily upward. Northern potatoes
are now worth S1.2Oql.25 and Colorados
are quoted at S1.35.
The quality, as well as the quantity, of
the strawberries on the market is increas-
ing at a rapid rate and the prices are
going down. Texas berries good enough
for shipment are now selling around s3.50q
400 per 2-quart case.
The butter market took a drop last week,
owing to the increased receipts and the
prospects for still further increases In the
future, but prices are still very high for
this time of the year.
Poultry has huctuated to some extent
during the last week, but prices are about
the same as they were a week ago ana
much higher than they were a year aBo.
Eggs are also high for this time of year
and the ruling prices practically all the
week has been 14l2ql5c.
