FEW CHANGES IN PRICES
IN THE CITY MARKETS

But few changes are to be noted in
prices of foodstuffs in the markets OF
the city as compared with those Of last
week. The most interesting change to
housekeepers is in eggs. the high
grades of which are slightly lower than
a week ago. The market benches today
were all well supplied with fruits. veg
etables. meats and poultry. and the
dealers report a good demand. The
Lenten season has made the demand
for sea food very strong, out the rev
changes shown in the market are 70
the advantage of the buyer, hallbut
selling at 20 cents pound this week,
against 20 cents. and herring at cents
each instead of cents. Except for
these changes the fish market Is the
same today as it was week ago.
The best grades of eggs-those guar
anteed to be strictly fresh--are today
quoted at So to 40 cents a dozen. and
eggs good enough for ordinary use
can be bought at from 3" to 30 cents
dozen. In the meat market lamb, pork
chops and ham and smoked hams are
from cent to cents cheaper on the
pound for the less choice cuts. The
only change in the produce market TO
be noted is on sweet peppers, which
have jumped to so cents dozen and
are scarce.
