The local fruit and vegetable market
took on somewhat easier tone. AS
a result of the favorable weather the
| supplies were larger and the demand
was not quite as large as it has been
Cabbages do not grow much cheaper,
and potatoes and apples remain pretty
firm. Strawberries have been coming
forward rather more freely during
the past week, but the supply is not as
large as it was at this time last year.
Potatoes are coming along quite
freely, but the demand holds out and
they are firm. Seed potatoes are not
plenty this year, and cobblers are
really scarce, as growers shipped
them freely early in the season and
kept back few for seed. Asparagus,
string beans and southern tomatoes
are in much better supply and cheap
err. Onions are firm, and old beets,
carrots and parsnips are getting rather
scarce and a little higher. Rhubarb
| Is steady.

There has been a firm market for
pork provisions, prices showing very
few changes and trade being fairly
| active.
The beef trade was unable to main
tain the advance noted the previous
week, and prices sagged little in the
middle OF the week, the closing being
dull and easy, with tops about Nc.
| The current discussion over the ques-
| ton of the local inspection of beef has
hurt trade very much, it is said Ex-
