FISH ARE SCARCE
AND EGGS PLENTY
Celery and Cranberries Disappear
and Vegetables in General
Are Scarce.
HENS ARE BECOMING BUSY
HOME PRODUCT is sUPPLANT-
ING THAT FROM OUTSIDE.

As spring advances and winter departs
housewives have e difficult time of it
trying to keep the table supplied with
the good things. There are now So few
winter products left and so few spring
things in market that the housekeepers
5re put TO the test trying to keep the
FAMILY from grumbling. Yesterday an
nouncement was made by the Wholesalers
that two more articles If fond UoIlId not
be sold again until next winter These
Two are celery and cranberries. The lat
many months by the jobbers. Retailers
viii sell off the supply on hand and when
that is gone they will not be able to get
Celery is rapidly disappearing from
market stalls. The quality of the article
offered is inferior and in supply lin
tied With the selling out of the supply
on hand il is believed no more celery viii
be bought by retailers.
Fish Supply Small.
Fish markets are in almost the same
condition as the vegetable markets
To bad weather along the Pacific coast
1s attributed the small supply of fish 1t is
still too early to make good spring
catches. Some of the old stand-bys of
this time of the year are vet in mar
ket, but none of the spring offerings has
been received.
Utah fresh eggs are now plentiful The
eastern product is not being brought in
March is considered the best month of
tho year for egg laying and therefore the
local markets are being supplied by Utah
hens
