EARLY VEGETABLES
ABOUND IN MARKET
Butter, Egg and Poultry
Prices Are Unchanged.
Meats Firm.

Spring vegetables are becoming
moro plentiful as the Spring season
advances, and prices are gradually
decreasing. Spring onions, spinach,
kalc and Watercress are among the
early vegetables grown nearby that
are becoming plentiful.
From distant points dealers are re-
ceiying asparagus, carrots, string
beans, cucumbers eggplant, squash,
peppers, caulifiower and tomatoes.
Only moderate supplies of tomatoes
tire being received from Florida, and
prices continue anything but cheap.
Cucumbers are being received in small
quantities, dealers report, and prices
are high.
Meat dealers report a much better
market than was experienced during
most of the Winter season, and the
market continues firm. Home-dressed
pork continues high, loins bringing 81
and "a cents this morning. Western
toins were 9 cents cheaper.
The poultry market continues firm,
prices today being the same as those
quoted yesterday. Egg and butter
prices also remained the same.
