Dublin Wholesale Markets. 



DfKiNG the month there were to be seen large 

 supplies of fruit, flowers and vegetables. The 

 weather conditions were favourable for the 

 lipening of the several kinds of fruit, especially 

 Strawberries. Of these splendid samples were 

 to be seen in the market in pimnets ; packed in 

 crates containing twenty-four per crate (a 

 punnet holding one pound approximately). This 

 mode of packing prevents the scpiashing of the 

 fruit in transit. Other consignments arrived in 

 trays of several pounds each and also in fo\ii' 

 pound baskets. Gooseberries were sent in in tiie 

 green state, until the middle of the month, when 

 some choice lots of ambers in a I'ipe condition 

 w ere noticed ; also Black and Red Currants of 

 good quality. There were Cherries on .show, also 

 Peaches, the latter were not in good demand. 



In the flower section the supply of Roses, 

 Carnations, Sweet William (red and y)ink), Sweet 

 Pea, and Cornflowers were abundant. There was 

 a brisk demand and good prices. 



In the vegetable department York Cabbages of 

 fair quality continue to hold prices above the 

 average. Cauliflower, Lettuce and Spinach were 

 equally well .supplied and readily disposed of. 

 Peas, Beans, White and Yellow Turnips. 

 Radi.shes. Carrots and Cucvunbers sold well. 

 Small quantities of Rhubarl) were seen, but it i.s 

 displaced by the season's fruit. 



The following is a ]>rice list for the month : —
