Potatoes, Onions and vegetables

The week opened with the potato market lib
orally supplied, 10 carloads being received from
outside points by rail in addition TO the usual
arrivals from the river districts Prices were
no lower, but the market lacked the steadness
that characterized 1t at the close Of last week.
as the increased supplies were somewhat in ex-
cess Of actual needs. Onions were offering free
II from first hands again and prices were not
quite firm as before, as buyers were purchas-
Ing sparfngly.
Asparagus continued to arrive freely, the re-
ceipts up to noon being about 500 boxes. and as
the demand less urgent than on Saturday
prices had another decline. The outside quota
tion for the extra grade was obtained only In q
limited way during the early trade, as receivers
cut prices sharply in the afternoon, anticipating
heavier arrivals today. Rhubarb was In In
creased supply and sold by the box at lower 6g-
ures, the prices obtained leaving little or no
margin of profit to handlers who had purchased
outright in the growing sections. Southern peas
were weaker. There was practically no market
for mushrooms of which 30 boxes were received.

New York Cotton Market

NEW YORK, March 16.-Hutton's wire says:
The local market opened steady, to points
up, with trade very inactive and mostly local.
There news Of Importance. Receipts
continue light. Interior were 10000, against
2l,0oo for the same day last year. A large
ment report, due Friday at the opening. and
1t is forecast as being bullish. There IL practi-
cally nothing doing in spots anywhere. The
feeling the whole here is bearish, much
until the short interest has become quite
large. and We rather feel that some Of this will
be reduced before the report and give us a
somewhat higher market.
