SUMMER VEGETABLES
BECOMING ABUNDANT
Increasing Supply Makes Prices
Somewhat Lower on Some
Products.
Poultry Slightly Cheaper, While
Lamb, Mutton and Smoked Ham
Have Advanced.

With an increasing supply of summer
vegetables, the markets of the city
this morning were most attractive to
the housekeeper, particularly as prices
are lower on many articles that are
becoming abundant. Cantaloupes from
California have made their appear
ance on the benches and are selling
at from $3.50 to $3.50 a dozen. They
are quite small. but are said to be OF
exceptional flavor. New Irish potatoes
which have been coming from Ber-
muda are now being received from
Florida. and this morning were SELL
ing at from 40 to so cents peck.
SQUASH, which have been selling at
about 10 cents each, can today be
bought six for a quarter, and cauli-
flower and cabbage are also somewhat
lower in price. Asparagus and mush-
rooms are the only articles on the
vegetable benches that are higher in
price.
In the poultry market fowls are
slightly lower in price, and incubator
chicks are also cheaper. In the meat
market, lamb. mutton and smoked ham
have advanced in price since last week.
Shad are nearly over for the season.
and the few on the market are selling
high Herring are also very scarce
and have practically disappeared from
the market.
