VEGETABLES. 
Old potatoes are arriving in large quantities 
and prices running about per sack lower. 
New from the South are in large supply and 
selling well, in some oases higlier than last 
week, as size and quality are better. Aspar¬ 
agus arriving freely from nearby as well as 
■Western and Southern sections, and consid'er- 
ably lower. String beans and peas in larger 
receipt. Cabbage remains high when even fairly 
good. Southern planters have made every 
effort to protit by the scarcity, and are getting 
good prices for small, loose heads that under 
iioniial conditions would not be worth ship¬ 
ment. Lettuce in larger supply, but bringing 
good prices when sound. 'Onions lower.
