QUOTATIONS AT MARKET
LOWER THAN WEEK AGO
Mutton Shows Drop of Five, Other
Fresh Meats Two to Three
Cents a Pound.
Sea Food, Except Bass, Which Is
Higher, Remains at Former
Prices.

With benches piled high with good
things for the table the markets this
morning presented an attractive ap-
pearance- As general thing the
prices seem to tend somewhat lower
than those of last week, but no heavy
reductions are to be noted on any par
ticular article.
In the meat market. veal, mutton
sliced bacon and pork shoulder all
show lower prices, the drop in mutton
being five cents a pound and on other
meats from two to three cents a
pound. The scarcity of sea bass has
caused an advance, but otherwise sea
food is selling at the prices of last
week.
Satisfy. parsnips, mushrooms and
celery cabbage are coming on the pro-
duce benches in quantities. Satisfy is
selling at IS cents a bunch, parsnips
at 10 cents a quarter peck, mushrooms
at IS cents pound, and celery cab
bage at S and 10 cents head.
In the fruit market persimmons have
made their appearance. They are not
the kind that grow wild in the woods
in this section, but are the big, sweet
cultivated ones from Florida and they
are selling at 30 cents dozen. Basket
grapes from New York and the north
are somewhat lower in prices this
week, and plums, both homegrown
and western, have practically disap-
peared from the market Apples and
pears are also becoming more plenti-
full and are selling at prices that put
them within the reach of all who are
fond of fruit.
