Onions declined, all kinds selling at S15O ex-
cept Nevada onions which sold at $2 55 The
Nevada onions were new consignment, in
cellent condition, and holding firm at the price
set
Green chill advanced to Ice a pound.
Eggs and butter were unchanged. Butter
continued firm and it is the belief of independ-
ent dealers that the price will advance in a
few days.
There was a good market in both fruit and
vegetables Prices were unchanged and the
supply in most everything equaled the demand.
The fish market was stocked with plentiful
supply of rock cod and barracuda. All other
fish were scarce. There was enough game to
meet fair demand.
