Local Produce
Market O.,

The oyster. market remains stag
nant with ample receipts to supply
the demand, which was not overly
heavy. 1t is doubtless IL the market
will clear itself of receipts this
week. -
Large receipts OF eggs forced the.
prices down materially, nearby eggs
falling from SIS cents to 81 and SO
cents.
The demand for fish continued
very heavy with sharp advances in
the price of bass.
Butter remained steady.
Live and dressed poultry showed
small increase in almost all
grades. .a.
Live stock, both dressed and on
the hoof, remained steady.
There was little. IL any. change
in the market on hides and furs
and fruits and vegetables.
