SPRING VEGETABLES
ARE MORE ABUNDANT
AsparaguSand Lettuce Come
in Larger Quantities
TO Market.

Receipts OF produce on the wholesale
market showed a slight Improvement
today, but trading conditions, for the
most part, continued unchanged. Sales
were light, but made al good prices
A few more veal calves were offered
for sale than yesterday. although there
was no indication OF a weakening in
quotation. Should warmer weather pre-
vail next week, there is every probable
fly that the demand for veal Will record
a falling off, and prices, corresponding
ly, will drop.
A sufficient amount or asparagus IS
now being received IN wholesale duanti-
ties to establish a marketable basis.
Quality is responsible for a consider
able latitude between the maximum ana
minimum prices, the quotation ranging
from IS to s. per dozen lunches Let
tuoe is arriving in much heavier sup
ply and is now selling as low as 81
per basket. Vans and sweet potatoes
also show Improvement with respect
TO supply.
Several spring varieties OF fish were
placed upon the market today Among
them were founders. which sold at
premium. 1t is expected that next week
the spring fish market will be ushered
in in earnest.
