Dublin Wholesale Markets. 



The exceptionally lino weather which has pre- 

 vailed during the past month has had a meat 

 influence on the markets. With such unfavour- 

 able conditions for plant growth one cannot 

 wonder at the poor quality of garden produce sent 



to the markets. A rather remarkable feature of 

 this fruit season, which has now practically drawn 

 Lose, was the small quantity in which soft 

 fruits were marketed. The choicest fruits — 

 peaches, and plums — were well in 

 evidence and were disposed of at remunerative 

 prices. Irish apples arc now being marketed in 

 small quantities, consisting chiefly of thinnings 

 of the larger cooking varieties. The supply of 

 grapes has been somewhat limited, and tins was 

 principally produce of the South of England. 



Cut flowers were not so plentiful as might have 



i n expected; bul doubtless the drought has 



caused a greal deal of injury to this trade. Roses, 

 Sue. a Peas, hardy and half-hardy Annuals. &c, 

 were selling at fair prices. 



That the dry weather has done a greal deal of 

 harm to vegetable growers is plainly seen by the 

 very pooi' quality of pea-, onions, cabbages and 

 cauliflowers senl 1" the markets daily. Indeed 

 everything seems to have suffered from drought :
