remains before.
The Egg market is getting irregular again,
with difference of &c in the quotations given
by the different houses. Some, who are receiv-
ing very few. quoting high pc, but
owing to their light stocks their sales are Of
course small Others, who are literally sup
piled and obliged to store more or less OF
their daily receipts to keep their stocks down
TO manageable point, do not quote over 2Cc.
Still Others quote 21c easily obtainable for fine
ranch. and it goes, each dealer quoting as
his stocks large or otherwise. There are
other firms who say that they want to get
the market up high possible in order to
shut off the speculative buying up in sonoma
County. claiming that this buying Is deranging
the market. Under these conflicting conditions,
when each house has a different set of quota
tons, IL is difficult to quote the market accu-
rately. The feeling in Eggs. however, is un-
questionably firm rather than weak.

Potatoes, Onions and Vegetables.

Old Potatoes continued to arrive freely from
Oregon by raj; and 1t was reported that the
steamer due to-day would bring about 5000
sacks. Trade was quiet jobbers were TAX
ing no more than absolutely necessary for inn
mediate requirements. There very little
stock on the market that would command the
maximum quotation, 81 50 being about the top
for the general market. Receipts of Po-
tatoes were increased to 161 sacks and prices
were shaded. Yellow Onions were unchanged
while Green were lower under excessive sup
plies.
Receipts of Asparagus continued light and
prices had a narrower range. Retailers were
indifferent buyers, but the market held
steady by the Gamers who bought up most
of the surplus at 5g6c per pound. Occasional
lots of well known brands OF strictly fancy
stock We're sold at Sc, but the top quotation
was considered an extreme for the general
market Peas arrived freely and prices de-
cllned again. Rhubarb was abundant and only
strictly fancy stock received any attention.
Southern vegetables were In limited supply
and prices ha6 slight variation. Florida Tonla-

Dcciduous and Citrus Fruits.

Receipts OF Strawberries consisted Of fifteen
chests of Longworths from Palo Alto and nine
teen chests of the larger varieties from Wat
sonville. Prices ranged lower a result Of
the increased receipts. but the market cleaned
up well. The top quotation for Longworths
was an extreme figure and was obtained only
in a peddling way for strictly fancy lots. 90c
being the top for the general of offerings.
A drawer of Raspberries came in from across
the bay and sold for 81
The low prices of the cheap grades of Navel
Oranges attracted certain class of trade and
a good movement in such fruit was noted,
peddlers being the principal buyers. There
was fair inquiry for sound fancy stock for
shipment to Honolulu but otherwise there was
very little doing in that grade All the
other Citrus fruits stood previously quoted.
There was continued firmness in Apples. par
ticularly fine Newtown Pippins which readily
commanded the maximum quotation. Bananas
