PREDICT ADVANCE IN
POTATOES THIS WEEK
Butter and Eggs Firm and Onions
Weaker-HandIerS Are
Short on Fish

It is predicted that the official quotations

early this week because OF diminished ship
ments from the north. where labor in the
fields is scarce.
No change in butter or egg prices.

In the fruit and vegetable market prices
varied only slightly. Receipts Of grapes
were heavy and the market easy on
this fruit. Reports from the north are to
the effect that the price of grapes TO the

average price will be about $3.50 per ton +.
