MARINE PRODUCTS
IN ACTIVE DEMAND.
Fish Market Thronged With
Retailers Buying Supplies
for Tomorrow.

Municipal Fish Market this morning
was scene Of activity, retailers being
trade, while others will do their buying
late in the afternoon or tomorrow
morning.
Warm weather probably prevented
many retailers from appearing there
today, not wanting to keep their sup
plies overnight Wholesalers had Sup-
plies more than ample to meet demands
at prices they considered reasonable to
cheap. ,,.a
oysters, plentiful and in good condi-
ton, were not much in demand, accord
ing to reports, and prices were lower.
Selected stock sold at $2.l5 a gallon,
standards being offered at $1.85.
Fish Quotations.
Rockhsh, always in demand, were
offered at % cents for the large fish
and Is cents for the medium and small
size. There were plenty Of gray trout
to be had at 10 cents a pound, the
salmon trout bringing Is cents.
Butterf1Sh were quoted at Is, founders
at IA and croakers at IL cents pound.
Shipped-in fish from the North and
South also were offered at wide range
Of prices.
Warm weather this morning gave the
fruit and vegetable market much the
appearance of the Summer season.
From distant and nearby points dealers
had supplies Of choice fruits and vege-
tables to offer the trade, but the small
number Of buyers made the market
draggy.
Practically no changes were reported
this morning, prices of most commodi-
ties being the same as prices reported
yesterday.
