sales in butter and it's price remains
the same. Cheese was unchanged.
The late rains are conceded to be
beneficial to the vegetable crop, but
TO the produce dealers. Berries of all
sorts will probably be higher for the
next few days as the moisture will
soften them and make them hard to
pick. The cherry season was about
over anyway, but the rains have fixed

in yesterday from Oregon. They were
the black Tartarian variety from Ash
land and sold at Sc a pound.
Trading was quiet on the market

coming in in good amounts and meet
a ready demand. Figs have picked
up in their demand the last few days
and are now moving better than they
changed. Beans are still a drag on
the market and about the only call
for them comes from the canneries
Peas are little more plentiful and
the telephone variety sold for from
to 61ac pound.
