OHc Oh lne IdTRe importing merchants
Of the city received wire from a short
way down the line late yesterday after
noon announcing the arrival OF car
lot Of bananas from Honduras. The man
in charge said they were the finest
bananas that had been brought TO this
market for weeks. and that at least 100
punches in the car were already ripe
enough for use The car was scheduled
TO arrive in Salt Lake late last night. and
the retail dealers will be Offering them
todny TO their patrons. A lot of cocoa
nuts are coming in the same car.
Lovers Of this delicious fruit have been
complaining for some time at the quality
offered. II tho bananas were not frozen
when they reached their destination they
were small and decidedly unattractlNc
looking. and purchasers were obliged 10
pay for these Is and 30 cents a dozen.
For these fine ones that are promised
for today the same prices VIII be asked,
and If they arc not much superior TO the
brand that has been offered of late,
there will be great disappointment
An express shipment OF blue points was
received Tuesday from the East. They
sold ar 81 Il hundred, Wholesale. making
the retail price a trine above the price
that consumers are usually called upon
TO pay. in fact trifle above what most
of them care 10 pay But oysters nova
days arc IN a measure taking the place
of fish, and must be had at almost any
price during the temporary absence OF
the fish at least
Tuesday was an off day, as usual I'm
the market, and there were no fresh ship
ments OF either green stun or hsh. The
green stun is promised all right Tor TO
day. but even the most sanGuine or hsh
dealers look dubious when asked as TO
the exact time their regular shipments of
tho fnny tribo Will be resumed.
