In the absence of Secretary Rodman,
who has been quite sick for several
days, Chairman Louis M. Cole of The
egg quotation committee acted as sec
retary. The most noticeable advance
was made on Early Rose potatoes, the
| general supply of which was reported
short of actual needs, both in the local
market and at northern shipping
| points. Values were raised to $2.250D
25O per hundred pounds on all desir-
able kinds. The general trend of the
market on other grades was toward
| advancement though for the present
quotations remain practically un-
changed. Stocks of cheaper grade po-
tatoes are fast disappearing and deal
ers consider the outlook very favor
able for good selected stocks.
EGGS.-Quotations on eastern stor-
| age were withdrawn for the present
stocks being about all exhausted and
attention of dealers thoroughly riveted
on local ranch. The egg quotation
committee did not disturb the selling
price of &c candled, and all united in
| saying the market for ranch was very
firm. Receipts showed 15t cases. and
with a brisk demand evident, stocks
were quickly absorbed. Prices are not
expected to rule above present quota
tions for some days, though active
trading is looked for.
SWEET POTATOES.-Yell sweet
potatoes advanced to $3.50 per hun
dred pounds. Market being pretty gem
orally cleared of local stocks and a
much better demand reported.
BUTTER. Butter continued the
ruling factor of the market. Good
coast shipments were reported. as well
as from all valley points. Total re-
ceipts for the day were 1908 pounds,
but this was short of trade wants and
storage was resorted to in order to
meet demands. Shipments to all sur
rounding points and into the terri
tories was reported active.
BEANS.-More activity in the bean
market was apparent, receipts show
ing more than usual and calls more
brisk. Fancy selected pinks easily
command top quotations. while prices
on under grades vary according to
quality.
ONIONS.-But little interest was
shown in the onion situation. There is
a general disposition among holders to
urge business on undesirable grades
by shading prices. Fancy stocks were
in fair request, but quotable rates
prevailed. None are being brought into
the market at present.
VEGETABLES demand for
fresh vegetables was of such a nature

shipping account all early offerings
were quickly disposed of. Beans sold
as high as &c per pound, peas at sos
and cabbage continued steady around
81 per sack for choice lots Good ship
ping tomatoes were in excellent de-
mand, top quotations being easily
realized for best quality. Cauliflower
was little weak. Celery was in good
request at the old rates.
-Giy oarc Of honarac or-
rived today, but as the stock was
green 1T went into cellars and did not
interfere with the general tone of the
market. Good ripe fruit commanded
4c per pound in a jobbing way
A feature of the banana market was
the shipment of car of red bananas
from Port Limos, Jamaica, which
were being offered at SC per pound.
Fruit being green, trading was light.
Oranges and other citrus fruits offered
no new features, prices well held and
stocks ample.
Strawberry offerings were light.
Prices unchanged.
FISH AND GAME.-Plenty of fish
of the large kind were in the market,
in fact too many for actual trade
wants. Wild ducks were also abun-
dant, but a scarcity of wild geese and
rabbits was reported. A few crabs and
Holsters came in.
Trading in fish and game reported
active all week, with supplies fully
meeting all trade requirements
POULTRY.-The market for poul-
try continued active, offerings of
young stock very light and prices rul-
ing high Hens were also scarce and
wanted.
