VEGETABLES PLENTIFUL
AND PRICES MODERATE

Supplies Are Found on Mar
ket Benches.

At 06 Gents 0 Pound.


good supplies Of summer vegetables
ara still to be found on the benches
in the markets of the city and are
selling at moderate prices. though con-
stderably higher than in midsummer.
In tho wholesale market eggs are re-
ported plentiful. but no change Is to
| be noted in retail prices. hennery eggs
still being quoted at 46 cents dozen.
The market dealers believe that egg
prices will remain high throughout the
fall and winter. and may even go high
er than they now are. In the past
week Irish potatoes have jumped to
40 and 40 cents a peck. and cucum-
bers. corn, squash. tomatoes. string
beans and lima beans are all higher
priced than a week ago. This is due
to their becoming scarcer as the sea-
son for them draws to q close.
In the poultry market chickens are
| 3 cents a pound cheaper on the less
desired kinds, but prices on choice
stock remains at 20 cents pouno.
Cheaper cuts of pork roast and fresh
shoulders and smoked hams are higher
in price than last week. there being q
cent or two advance. Though hsh OF
all kinds are scarce and high-priced on
the wholesale market. the retail deal
ers state that no change has been
made in prices on the market stands.
and no change will be made unless the
present high wholesale average is
maintained.
Fruits are plentiful and as a general
have become more plentiful and today
were selling at 10 cents each. Cali
fornia grapes are also reported plenti-
full and somewhat cheaper than a week
ago. New York grapes. Delawares,
Concords and Niagaras are also plenti-
full and are selling at from Is to 25
cents q basket.
