SATURDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1903 ¢ 3 | FasIL Y RETAIL MARKET) * — All grades Butter and Eggs are cheaper, as the production is steadily increasing, owing to the zoft, moist weather, and prices may be even lower before the end of the week. The market is slenderly supplied with most kinds of garden Vegetables and prices are ac- cordingly high. Seasonabie varieties of frults are in good supply, with prices normal. Cran- :errles have suddenly become scarce and are earer. Poultry and Game have changed but little since last week. All indications point to a good supply of Turkeys for Christmas and prices will undoubtedly be lower than they were just before Thanksgiving. Meats and Fish have not changed for weeks, COAL.
