FRUITS ARE SCARCER
Cary street Finds II Hard TO Get the
Goods-BroIlrrs Go Down.
Eggs Htrher

In some lines there was dullness
along Cary and Thirteenth Streets all
of last week For instance the big
fruit dealers had very limited business.
various fruits being scarce and hard to
get. Some of them, notably apples,
were out OF the question, there being
none TO be had. Peaches were about
the only things that were anything like
plentiful.
Early in the week 1t seemed that all
OF the spring chickens in the land
were flying towards Richmond The
receipts We're quite large and the
prices went downward at a lively clip
until towards the last OF the week
when they became somewhat steadier.
However. the commission men look for
renewed heavy receipts this week and
there is apparently no danger OF the
broilers going up. If there is any
change 1t will be downward. Hens
were somewhat scarcer than the week
before when the receipts commenced
to drop off, IS the receipts OF broilers
Increased and the hen market was
firm. even stiff at the quotations Of the
previous week. Eggs were very strong,
the receipts being lighter, and they
arc likely to continue so for some
time to come. At least that Is the
opinion OF the commission men and
big egg dealers.
Vegetables were in better receipt.
The incoming shipments OF new po-
tatoes were very large and prices have
sagged not little. Other vegetables
were more numerous and varied, but
there was very little change in the
wholesale figures.
