HOMEGROWN PRODUCTS
BECOMING PLENTIFUL
Lower Prices Noted in Market on
Varieties of Fruits and
Vegetables.
Advance in Quotations on Veal and
Pork of the More Choice
Grades.

Home grown fruits and vegetables
are daily becoming more plentiful in
the markets of the city, and on many
of them lower prices are to be noted.
Tomatoes. which have been coming
from the southern gardens for the past
several weeks, are now being rapidly
displaced on the market by the home
grown product and are rapidly becom-
ing cheap enough to be canned for win
ter use. \ week ago they were selling
at 10 to Is cents a pound. This morn
ing they are bringing the same price
by the quarter peck.
Lima beans are also becoming more
plentiful and have dropped consider
ably in price I'm the past week. They
were selling today at IS to 80 cents
quart, and, the dealers say, will con-
tinue to drop in price until the low
level of the season is reached. Alliga-
tor pears, watermelons. huckleberries.
blackberries are all cheaper than last
week. while grapefruit and raspberries
are higher priced than week ago.
Meat Prices Advance.
In the meat market veal has advanced
in price on the more choice. grades and
pork chops also show an advance on
the less desirable cuts
Bluefish are scarce on the fish benches
and the small supply on hand was sold
out early yesterday There is, how
ever. an abundant supply OF other va
rieties of fish and prices show no
change from those of last week. Eggs
remain unchanged in price, though the
wholesale market is reported advanc-
ing.
