FRUIT AND VEGETABLES
PLENTIFUL IN MARKET
Products of the South in Contrast
With Prevailing Wintry
Weather.
Nvance Announced in Prices for
Fresh Meats-Poultry Remains
at High Figure.

With their stands in the markets of
the city well supplied with all season.
able edib1es. the dealers were this
morning prepared to supply any de-
mand. Southern fruits and vegetables
made a tempting showing and caused
the visitor to the market to forget 1t
was the middle of winter here and that
q heavy snowstorm was on hand.
From now on, the dealers say. the re-
ceipts of fruits and vegetables from
the southern gardens will continue to
increase, but there will be no great
supply until stuff begins to come in
from the Carolinas, which will not be
for several weeks. Southern straw
berries are unusually plentiful and
cheap for the season, and hothouse as
paragus has appeared in the market,
but at prices that keep those with only
moderately filled purses from indulg-
ing. Irish potatoes are reported scarce
and prices on them have advanced.
Advance in Meat Prices.
In the meat market. lamb, beef, NUT
ton and fresh pork have advanced from
i to cents on the pound, caused, the
dealers say, by shortage in the sup
ply. Lamb is reported particularly
scarce and this week it is selling at
from rs to 30 cents pound, an advance
of cents over prices prevailing last
week. While there has been no in
crease in poultry prices they remain at
the high figure attained last week.
Turkeys are selling at from 80 to 3S
cents a pound, chickens at % to Is
cents pound and other poultry at like
figures. The shad season is on and the
fish are selling at SIPS for roes and rs
cents for bucks.
