New Potatoes Arrive.

Tacoma - New potatoes of the best
quality the local market has seen for
years, according to commission men,
rolled in Thursday for the first time
this season. The new tubers, which
are red, went out wholesale at 6a cents
pound in lug boxes and found an in
slant market. Regular shipments will
be received from now on and as re-
ceipts increase prices will decline, say
merchants.
Celery is about through for the sea-
son, it is reported. The vegetable is
quoted at $5.75 crate. Radishes,
telephone peas, artichokes, asparagus
and lettuce arrived by steamer and
went out quickly. The demand for
green stuff increases daily.
Apples continue to sell good. Wine
saps are the most popular variety here,
wholesaling from $1.25 to $1.65 box.
Meats and poultry are firmer.

No Change in Butter Expected.

Tacoma-Butter is firm and dealers
do not look for decline for two weeks
yet. The market of the Pacific Coast
is reported to be unchanged. Receipts
of butter are none too large. Eggs
are arriving plentifully and the mar
ket is steady. Cheese is unchanged
and the demand is light.
The fish market is we'll supplied
with various kinds of fish with the ex-
ception of salmon. Since the season
opened on salmon fairly good catches
have been made by sportsmen on the
Narrows and on Puget Sound. The
fish, however, are not running in large
enough schools to warrant fishing boats
to go after them, according to dealers.

Demand for Eggs Is Active.

Portland-The egg market is steady
and firm this week at prices un-
changed. The demand is sufficient to
take care of all arrivals.
Poultry arrivals were not heavy, but
were large enough in view of the
present high prices. More veal came
in than could be worked off, but the
market was steady. Pork was strong
and unchanged.
The butter market is reported cas-
ier, but the old prices prevail.
