GOOD THINGS TO EAT,
BUT MARKET IS SLOW
Washington Dealers Believe That
Business Will Improve
Tomorrow.

Though the markets today are well sup
Piled with good things for the table,
business is reported very dull. The deal
ers however, are looking for good bust
ness tomorrow, as they believe that the
dullness since the first of the year, is
due to holiday expenditures, from which
the housewives of the city are now re-
covering
Fresh shad from southern waters have
made their appearance in the market,
and herring also are on sale. The shad
are selling at 81 each for bucks and 81
each for roes, but frozen shad can be
bought for 81 each. Herring, as big and
fine as are seen in the markets here in
the middle of the spring fishing season,
are selling at four for % cents New
cabbage and new beets also are on the
market, the former selling at s to 10
cents Il head, and the latter at ) to Is
cents a bunch Caulifiower, brussels
sprouts and sweet peppers have advanced
slightly in the past week.
Egg Prices Unchanged.
The prices on eggs, poultry and butter
remain unchanged, and the dealers are
not looking for any decided drop in egg
and butter prices until the coming of
come more plentiful. Rabbits are plenti-
full on the game benches, and sell from
- to So cents each for the best grades.
Turkeys have become rather scarce 'ac-
cordinS to report. and are selling at p
to so cents a pound. according to the
size and quality of the bird wanted.
