eggs, and a further advance has been

.ative way Choice hennery and near

Business in fruits and vegetables
has improved somewhat, but the in
crease in the supplies has been
enough to prevent much, if any ad-
vance in prices.
Potatoes are still firm and the indi-
cations are that they are going higher.
The demand has been somewhat less
urgent since the quotation reached
81. 10 per two-bushel bag for Green
mountain at the yards, and the re-
ceipts have proved quite ample for the
decreased wants, but owing to the
strength of the primary markets the
dealers here have not been tempted
to lower their quotations.
Apples do not change much, but
really fancy fruit is scarce and is in
clined toward higher prices. Straw
berries are getting more plenty and
cheaper every day, but the supply of
apples is so small that il is doubtful
if abundance of berries would affect
the prices of apples.
Lettuce has been rather scarce and
high but there has been good supply
of all other kinds of truck, especially
spinach, kale and dandelions. Gu
cumbers are plenty, and Texas onions
are coming along freely. Choice,
sound old onions are scarce and high.
