Dublin Wholesale Markets. 



t'ONTRAUY to exi>ectations, particularly "for the 

 ■' Festival Season," sales and i)rices were not \\p 

 U> the standard. Although vegetables were 

 liberally suiiplied. in many cases on market days 

 it seemed difficult to effect. 



Ve(jetabt.es. — Cabbages were suiJplied in 

 al)undance for this season, and did not receive 

 due attention, in fact when more ])lentiful io 

 summer higher prices were ])aid for it. Savoys 

 seem at in'e.sent to absorb the interest of buyers, 

 and higher i)rices were paid for them than Yorks. 

 The supply of celery is well maintained, bidding 

 been keen, and very large quantities are bought 

 immediately they are offered for sale. Swedes 

 have decreased in i)rice since last report. Parsley 

 and Onions are in vei^y i^,ond. demand, handsome 

 prices being paid for same. Carrots, parsnijis, 

 Brussels sprouts and thyme at present are proving 

 ))rofltable to growers. An unusual and interesting 

 feature for so early in the season was the arrival 

 of Irish rhubarb, which the good i)rice of 8s. i)er 

 dozen well compensated the grower. 



Fruit. — Apples for this season were exceedingly 

 cheap, some having to be kept over unsold, 

 Bi'amley being the only variety receiving any 



attention. A striking feature of this section was 

 a branch of Iri.sh-grown bananas, which was 

 s(dd for L"? 5s. Foreign Pi-oduci- business
