 Iridav. 8th Fel)i'uary. 



Dublin Wholesale Markets. 



At the beginning of the month the supply of 

 vegetables was abundant ; Cabbages practically 

 unsaleable at give away prices. Towards the 

 middle and end of the month supplies decreased, 

 owing to the frosty condition of the weather, and 

 prices rose a little. Celery continues to be 

 plentiful, but the demand is very poor. The 

 Control price for Irish Onions has been fixed at 

 3s. 6d. per stone, but there were practically no 

 home-grown Onions to be had ; some consign- 

 ments of foreign Onions arrived, and were readily 

 bought up at good prices. Nearly all vegetables 

 were making very small prices for this time of 

 year. 



Very small ariivals of Cross-channel fruits 

 were to hand last month. The supply of home 

 grown Apples was not so good as in the previous 

 month, but the demand was brisk and the prices 

 very good. 



Flowers were offered in limited quantities, and 

 were instantly bought up at good prices.
