Prices ruled steady throughout and the market was very fair'although there was not a very plentiful Buppfy of meats. Vegetables came forward freely. Beets, parsnips, turnips and other varities were there in abundance and but little difficulty was experienced in disposing of them. Potatoes stiffened in price somewhat and practically 'none , tfoiUd .be bought' for less than $30 per ton. The supply was good and a large puiaaiftity was .sold. The demand for seed potatoes was also excellent but very few of this quality were available. Those who have seed potatoes are holding them for their own requirements or telse they can sell 'all they wish tor their immediate- neighbors without bringing them to market. What meat there waa, was: snapper up as soon las it appeared. There were two or three carcasses of beef and some nice, pork. Veal was not plentiful arid mutton; was not to be ,������een. In view of this small supply prices held at the old levels in a brisk (market.- The usual activity prevailed among the fowls but no changes in price were noticed.
