VEGETABLES. 
Very large supplies of new potatoes from 
the Soutli iiave lowered prices $1 to .$1..50 per 
barrel. Buyers have been slow In taking bold 
even at this reduction, as they evidently felt 
that the bottom for the present has not yet 
been reached. The cost of much of this stock, 
both new and old. has been so high that deal¬ 
ers are disposed to take it off the market 
rather than meet the buyers’ ideas as to cut 
prices. Onions from Texas in large supply and 
selling well mainl.v at $3 per bushel or better. 
Asparagus hi larger supiily; some from nearby, 
and prices a little lower. Cabbage still ex¬ 
tremely bigli. String beans and' peas lower. 
Tomatoes in larger supply and selling well 
when of fair quality.

Buffalo Markets 
Tliert' is a (locliiie in strawbi'n’ies to 2;" 
cents a (|tiart, retail; asparaRUs, 10 cents 
a bunch tintl spinach, radishes and green 
onions tire becoming -plcntier. Farmers 
tire short of vegi^taltles. Only a few of 
them hiive pottitoes, onions or beans. 
There is a move to buy botins in Vermont, 
as the crop of last year, where there was j 
any, is too poor in quality to risk sowing. 
At the country auctions sheep sell at $20 
a head, by far tlu^ highest price known. 
Wheat is sinttll on the ground, but doing 
fairly well. The promise of tree fruit is 
good. 
Butter has advanced to 48 cents, 
wholesale, for best creamery, hut there is 
promise of grass butter unusually early. 
Cattle will be turned out early on account 
of the lack of all feed except hay. Many 
farmers refused to buy fiaid to feed cows, 
and so jiroduccd no snridus butter. Best 
dairy butter is 45 and 4(ic, and crock. 
48 and 44c. Cheese is still 2Sc for fancy 
domestic and eggs are not quoted above 
.■>8c, with lower gi-ades o7c; duck eggs, 
.‘57 and ‘18c, and goose eggs, 50 "and OOe. 
1’ota‘toes iire $5 and .$.'5.50 {ii’r hu., with 
farmers getting $5 readily for both seed 
aud eating. The market is said to be 
dull, which means that people are mostly 
not able to buy at all. Apples are $.‘).50 
and $(>.75 for all •grades, with small 
measures retailing at 15c. Onions have 
droiiped to .$5 and $7 per hu., because 
Texas offers them at $5.75 and $4 per 
crate. Onion sets are $7 and .$20 per 
hu., according to size, but beans-are still 
$9 and $10. Vegetables are scant at $4 
per box for artichokes, .$1..50 to .$2..50 per 
crate for aspai'agus, $5 and $4 per crate 
for string beans, $1 per dozen bunches 
for new beets, 10 and lie per lb. for cab¬ 
bage, .$1.75 and .$2 per Florida crate for 
celery, $1.25 per crate for horn * lettuce 
and $5.50 for California, $2 per box for 
I)ie iilant, $5 per bbl. for spinach, and 
$2.75 aud $5 per bbl. for turnips. TTot- 
honse cncumbei’s sell for .$4.50 and $5 
Iier hamper and retail at 8 and 12c. each. 
Parsnips and vegetable oysters are about 
gone. 
Poultry is strong and active, live tur¬ 
keys not being ipioted. Frozen turkeys 
are 55 and 54(*, fowl is 2.5 and 20c; 
chickens, 24 and 27c; broilers, 27 and 
.52c; capons, 55 and 54c; ducks, 25 and 
27c and geese, 19 and 20c. The only 
really plenty stuff o.i the market is 
Southern fruit, oranges selling at .$2.75 
and $5.25 per box for Californiii navels; 
lemons, $5 and .$4.75; limes. $1..‘>0 per i
