VEGETABLES. 
! Potatoes higher on best: no improve- 
< ment on medium grades Corn going at 
a wide range, owing to quality and size 
of ears. Golden Rantam and other small¬ 
eared yellow varieties are offered here in 
considerable quantity this year, but it 
appears hard to convince buyers to take 
them instead of the larger Evergreen and 
Mammoth. There are more possibilities 
for Bantam in local trade and regular 
customers than in large competitive mar¬ 
kets.
