Dublin Wholesale Markets* 



Hr.>^iNKss at tlie markets has again begun to 

 a^jsume a brisk nature. Larger quantities of 

 ])r.)duee are u.)W being disposed of. and also a 

 greater variety <d stuffs are l)eing put nit for 

 auction. 



(Considering the season, a fair qxiantity of Ii'ish 

 ajiples are still being disixised of. and scab seems 

 to be prevalent in most consignments. Keturns 

 have not improved anything since last month. 



^'egetahles are selling well, notably cab- 

 bages and cauliflowei's. Sprouts have also im- 

 pr.>ved in price since last nionth. Celery is very 

 plentiful, and clearances are sometimes difficult 

 to effect in that line. Leeks and artichokes are 

 selling in quantity at favourable prices. Small 

 quantities of lettuce and itarsley are giving very 

 good returns. Forced rhubarb, asparagus, and 

 seakale are now arriving in large quantities, and 

 are in good demand. 



Cut flowers are now offered in ])lenty, and sales 

 are not quite s.i good as earlier in the month. 



There was a ltoo.I demajul for pot plants. Some
