POTATO SHIPMENT
CAUSES SLIGHT WEAKNESS
=
No Change In Butter and Eggs.
Onions Are Firmer-De-
mand Active

Generous conslgnments of sweet potatoes
resulted in slight decline in quotations. De-
mand is good at present but with rise IN
temperature 1t is expected that further
weakness in sweets will follow.
The outlook for the potato market at the
present time is for a gradual decline in
choice stock; fancy stock is not expected
to go very much lower and as the fancy
stock is cleaned up prices are expected to
stiffen up on potatoes that at this time
of the year are termed choice.
The market is strong for onions. The
present weather conditions are most con
duclve to buying. 50 market within the
next few weeks Is predicted by jobbers who
are big factors in the onion deal
Barracuda and halibut are scarce. There
is enough other kinds of fish in the mar
ket to meet requirements.
Receipts of produce were: Eggs, 6S cases
butter. s744 pounds; cheese, $40 pounds
potatoes, s55 sacks; sweet potatoes, 25s
sacks apples, 1l,40O boxes.
