LOCAL WHOLESALE MARKET.

LOCAL WHOLESALE MARKET.
The market took on a decidedly fal
appearance early this morning. Sup
plies of practically all commoditie:
were large enough to enable dealer:
to make attractive displays. but re
ports failed to show decreased prices
Fruits and vegetables were especial
| Iy plentiful. Peaches proved the
| leader in the fruit market and price.
! were reported at what dealers sait
| were reasonable.
Watermelons and eantaloupes are
still fairly plentiful. but the canta.
loupeS have lost much of their sweet
| ness. Egg prices are soaring, and re
| tailers were asking as much as 4;
| cents u dozen for them.
| There WAS scant stock of oysters
| in the establishments of local dealers
| this morning, the opening day of th'
, oyster season, the first fall month ir
| which the letter "R" appears. Dealers
! reported having an unfavorable fore
! cast from the oyster regions. II be
I ing stated that the oysters promised
to be scarce and not in the best con
| dition.
Small shipments of oysters were
F; received from Hampton and Lower
Machodoc. Va. and points in Mary
! land. They were in fairly good condi
| tion and found slow sale at $3.50 Z
| bushel. Dealers will not attempt Il
handle large quantities of the bt
valves until cool weather creates ;
! demand.
