MARKET POINTS
Trade Wis Unusually Quiet oo
Produce Row.
TAKING WEEK AS A WHOLE
Zhe Volume of Bmineu Compared
Favorably With the Correspond-
ing Year Market Is Bare
of Oranges.
Trade wig tome what quieter taan uraL for ft
Saturday on Commiuion How. Country orders
were comparatively ligttt and as the receipt of
poultry 'and eggs w ere soon gobbled up the city W
trade for lack of inducement waa not anything
to apeak of after the early morning houra.
Taking the week a a whole however jobbers
express entire satisf actum with the volume of
bust nets done. It represented a distribution
covering a wide ran;- f territory and in
view of the high prices that prevail for some
lines of fruit the order as a genera thing
were larger than expecieJ. As the country ia
now beginning to consume vgeuMes of their
own growyig orders for cabbatc and potatoes
how a steidy falling off. Reports frni some
Texas points state that the heavy rams "f the
past few day- haa materially injured the po-
tato crop causing the plants to die and the
. young potatoes to rot in the ground.
Strawberry receipts w ere liberal and the
stock showed the beneficial effects of the sun-
shine r.f the past two days being much im-
proved in quality. The demand was quite ac
tire and fine prices were obtained most of the
offerings finding buyers at prices racing
from $1 75 to (2 30 per crate.
The market is about bare of oranges and
unless expected arrivals reach here by Monday
jobbers will be compelled to hold over orders
now coming in. The supply of navels in the
pnmai y markets ' is fast being exhausted anJt
the trade will soon have to depend on seedlings.
The Pesel-rtoettchcr company have due to
arrive Monday a car of orarhgea a car of
Florida tomatoes a car of Colorado Garto ap-
ples and a car of bananas.
The receipts of chickens were tome heavier
than on previous days of the week but there
was a sharp demand and no trouble was ex-
perienced in distributing all arrivals at fine
prices.
The movement of lemons ahows material
Improvement as warmer weather approaches
The market rules steady with a tendency to
aeek a -higher level. j
The market ia entirely bare of tomatoes but
fresh arrivals are due from Florida the first of
next week.
The few turkeys that reach the market are
mostly bought up by the restaurants and
hotels.
The market U still well stocked up on bans
and onions and prices rule generally dull.
Some few geese are reaching the market
ud find a ready demand at good prices.
Egg receipts continue light and the market
rules firm at quotations.
