Some Rise in Prices
Ample Supplies Of All Things
in Market---Fc Changes
in Quotations.

The changes to be noted in the re-
tail market all pertain to prices. there
being nothing new in the matter of
supply. Vegetables. fruits. fish. poul-
try and meats are all plentiful. and
no one will have any trouble this morn
ing in obtaining all of the ingredients
which go to make up the good Sunday
dinners: that is. if they have pocket
books of sufficient size to hold out.
Owing to the abundant supply, veg
etables are a shade lower than they
have been. or at least the most OF them
are. Sheep meats and hog meats are
all marked up a little higher, and il
is said that they have not yet reached
the top notch.
There arc but few changes in other
quotations. as will be seen by a glance
at the following:
