Dublin Wholesale Markets. 



For the past month the markets have been 

 liberally supplied with fruit, vegetables and 

 flowers. 



Apples, though late this season, are now 

 marketed in plenty, and seem to be below the 

 usual standard quality. In the earlier part of 

 the month the sujjply consisted chiefly of thin- 

 nings and windfalls. The supply of dessert apples 



is n>ade ui) of consignments of the varieties — 

 Beauty of Bath, Irish Peach, and Mr. GUidst<me ; 

 whilst cooking varieties tlisposed of are — -Early 

 Vietoria, Lord (Jj-osvenor and Warner's King. 

 Moderate prices are ol)taine<l, with the exception 

 of choice l(ds, which sell at remarkably good 

 ligures. Pears and I'lums are also receiving 

 their due share of atten(i()n, and j)rices range well 

 up (o (he average. I'eaches are in fairly good 

 demand, and though the cpiality is excellent, 

 they an- sometimes sold at j-educed rates. Small 

 fruits were easily disposed of in the first few weeks 

 of the month at the usual prices. 



Cabbages are now being sold somewhat 

 cheaper than usual, chiefly due to increased 

 sui)i)lies. Cauliflowers and i)eas are disposed of 

 in quantity at the usual figures. French beans 

 are averaging good prices, and also lettuce, when 

 the quality is \i\> to the standard. Broad beans, 

 turni|)s, onions, i)arsley, marrows, cucumbers 

 and tomatoes are all maintaining their old level 

 as regards i>rices. 



The following is a price list for the past 

 month : —
