Potatoes, Onions and yecetabIe,

With supplies coming forward more freely than
heretofore, particularly from Oregon, the Potato
market is exhibiting evidences of easiness, as
buyers are inclined to hold off and limit Neir
purchases In expectation of lower prices River
goods are neglected altogether. the prevailing
prices are higher than most buyers care to pay
and Eastern and Oregon stock, which can be had
at comparatively cheaper rates, are taking their
place Onions are weak, with stocks liberal and
mostly of poor quality.
There was not much change IN miscellaneous
vegetables yesterday. Green Peas from Los An
geles came to hand in poor shape, being ra lin
damaged, and had to be sold at weak rates. The
other descriptions still in limited supply
and cleaned up promptly at firm prices.

Deciduous and Citrus Fruits

Oranges were still the leading feature Of the
fruit market and were in good request. the low
prices stimulating the demand considerably. Sup
niles continued to come forward freely however.
and despite the active trading the market ruled
weak with heavy accumulation at all of the
stores The poor condition of some of the fruit
is another weakening factor. Large lines are
coming TO hand rain-damaged and decay rapidly,
which necessitates quick sales at low prices.
