YRETAZL MARKET

All grades Butter and Eggs are cheaper. as
the production is steadily Increasing. owing
to the soft moist weather and prices may be
even lower before the end of the week.
The market is slenderly supplied with most
kinds of garden Vegetables and prices are ac-
cordingIy high. SeasonabIe varieties of fruits
are in good supply, with prices normal. Gran
berries have suddenly become scarce and are
dearer.
Poultry and Game have changed but little
since last week. All indications point to
good supply of Turkeys for Christmas and
prices will undoubtedly be lower than they
were just before Thanksgiving. Meats and
Fish have not changed for weeks
