The M arket

Rhubarb Is appearing on the
market in larger quantities and
better quality. In some stores the
price has gone down considerably
because of an opportunity to buy
cheaply and in large quantities.
In other stores the price still re-
mains the same.
Butter is down In wholesale
price, but there will apparently be
httle change here in the retail. On
ie last drop when the wholesale
,rice dropped four cents local
merchants dropped five. Yester.
day the wholesale market dropped
two cents, 50 that at present local
merchants are only one cent above
the market. There may be a fur
ther drop, however, which will
force the retail price down.
Extra fancy new potatoes from
California seem Of very good quail
ity and fair size, and are selling
for 15 cents a pound. New peas
are selling all the way from Y
pounds for rs cents to two pounds
for rs cents. Tomatoes are priced
at 25 and 80 cents a pound.
