Dec���������2nd��������� The meat market rose -slightly, the reason for the- stronger tone being the fact that the farmers aire holding their animals, many prefer ring to sell at live weight direct to the buyers at the 'farm, than to do their, own slaughtering and bung the meat to the market at this'season of the, year. The sud- ply of-meat was a ������air one, beef and lam'b being rather scarce. The poultry market was not booming to-day, although a brisk trade was done by the vendors. The supply was not large as dur ���������ing recent.weeks,, but, was -sufuc-. lent to meet the /demand, at the prices asked. There were few spring chicken offered and no broilers. The birds were mostly large hens and well bred birds for breeding purposes. Hens and roosters mixed, for table purposes, sol -dat from $10 to $14 a dozen. Purte bred pullets sold ,ut if 12. Several, dozen spring chickens so i at $8. A- crate of geese sold for $1.60 each. A number of pure herd Buff Orphingtons were offered at $1.25 each, . but there appeared to be little demand for pure bred! birds and they were unsold. One; and a half dozen of ducks.were offered by the,-crate at $1.60 each or separately lat $1.75 The fruit market remained quiet, the poor'quality of the fruit offering beb/.ig largely responsible, the good fruit being held back for a rising; market. A few pears were brov.ght in, selling at 75c to $1' a |bo7., according to quality. Apples | sr,ld from 75c to $1.25 a box, no l7r;mber one stock offering. The * fruit inspectors held out one batch for lacking proper markings, and and cautioned another vendor a- gainst bringing to the market any stock covered with oyster ������������������ shell The fruit generally was clean, - Potatoes .were fairly .plentiful' on the market to-day, the prices asked ranging from $27 to $30 a ton, with the demand not strong.
