Heavy RAINS AFFECT
THE PRODUCE MARKET
DELAY IN TRAINS CAUSES A
SHORTAGE OF RECEIPTS
Firm Tone Prevails in Eggs and Pota-
toes-DeaIers Experience Diff
Guilty in Filling Vegetable
Orders

Heavy rains had their erect on the produce
market yesterday and business was generally
dull. Trains were delayed and many shippers
failed to make their usual daily consignments.
Prices were unchanged The demand was
greater than the supply in most commodities
firm tone prevailed in eggs, and sales were
made at 37Q5Sc, the buying price holding at
Sac. Eastern eggs were scarce and in conse-
Quence held firm at prevailing quotations.
With a falling off in receipts of cabbage,
caulihower, lettuce and celery the market had
difficulty in filling orders This trouble was
also noticeable in bunch stuff, lettuce and sew
eral other vegetables.
There were practically no berries on hand. But
the fruit market did not suffer materially on
account of the reserves in cold storage.
Potatoes were firm, but unchanged in price.
There were enough fish to meet heavy de-
mand. Small fish were scarce, but rock cod
and barracuda filled the gap. Game was in
fair receipt but the market will be cleaned up
today or Saturday.
