 ti«)nal hiiih i)piees. The i)ieleronce was ^'ivcix to 

 County Duhlin i:r()\vn st la wherries, as they 

 appeared quite fresh, while in many cases those 

 from other parts were danuijicd in transit. Red 

 and ])laek currants were very sparin<?ly suppUed, 

 which accounts for the hif>;h ])rices they fetched. 

 Raspherries are now jxettinii plentiful ; prices 

 varied accordinji to supply. There was great 

 demand for amlxM- gooseherries. supply not near 

 equal to demand : green gooseberries are coni- 

 niencing to he supplied in quantity, hut they aie 

 iiot in keen request. ('luMries. peaches, and 

 plums were also olTeicd. ami cleared easily at 

 good prices. 



Vegetables. — The denumd for cabbage is not 

 near as goodasformerly owing to other seasonable 

 vegetables been supplied in such large quantities ; 

 this has caused a marked reduction in price. The 

 price of cauliflowers also is much below last report 

 prices. Peas, beans, cucumbers and carrots were 

 most in request, and cleared at high figures. 

 Tomatoes were very plentiful, and mushrooms 

 were to be had in sufficient quantities to meet 

 demands. 



Flowers. — The demand for cut flowers 

 appears to be falling off, and they continue to 

 arrive in large consignments, especially Carna- 

 tions, Roses, and Sweet Peas. Cornflowers, 

 Sweet Sultan, ^\^lite Gladioli and Gypsophila 

 elegans arrived in good condition.
