Show OREGON BERRIES HOLD THE MARKET Utah Orchards Will Send Theirs in Two "Weeks Vegetables Aro Still Cheaper. OREGON 13 now supplying Bolt Lake with strawberries. They first cumo In on Thursday, and yestorday It was announced that thejo were no moro California berries imported. Tho Oregon berries aro rathor tart, as tho season is a little early, but an Improvement Improve-ment will bo noticed In a dny or two. Tho prIcoon Saturday was $5.50 per crate. After a price of $1.50 per crate for tho California kind, this looks very steop, but In the now "crates there aro 24 backets back-ets and larger bankets. This prlco will bo lowered on oMnday. Cherries aro cheap-or, cheap-or, being lowered from $1,75 to $1.25 per box. Thcso are tho eating chorrlcB; chor-rlcs chor-rlcs aro still $1 per box. In vegetables prices and quality have been Improving steadily with tho coming on of summer. Dry onions aro now worth 3 cents per pound; also cabbages. Now potatoes arc down to 3 cents. Caull-tlowcr Caull-tlowcr has been all out for tho last fow days, tho season being about over for this vegetable. Hot house lottuco also has not been seen on thc market lately. Utah pens and beans will bo for sale ln two weeks, and Utah strawberries by thc 10th of Juno. In spllo of the storms that occurred during thc past week, all provision dealers deal-ers give good accounts of tho week's business. busi-ness. Tho chief feature was provided by the grain dealers, who lowered tho price of wheat and nlfaifa. Tho causo of this Is tho largo amount of winter stook that is loft, In view of tho fact that tho new Juno supplies will bo In after two weeks. One dealer makes a prlco of $3.50 per ton on alfalfa. Poultry was very llvoly during tho latter half of tho week Live broilers aro now quoted at $4.50 per dozen. This reduction Is greater than It seems, though tho prlco was $5 before, but they aro now larger ln size, and a bettor value Is Riven for tho $4.50 than for tho higher prlco on account of thc greater weight. Fish have been selling well, on tho whole. Although Salt Lake market aro well supplied with almost every known kind of fish, tho ono kind of which moro Is sold than any two or three others put together continues to be salmon. Salt Lnke housewives seem to know of no other kind than salmon. Surely thc reason rea-son cannot be that It Is the most "fillln nt tho price"? Cooks ln Salt Lake must bo above such sordid motives. One fishmonger fishmon-ger sold that it was tho duty of thc papers pa-pers to toll Salt Lako people that there was some other kind of fish than salmon to bo bought, If only out of charity to those who navo to eat tho dinners. Prices remain the same, and no change Is expected. ex-pected. Dairy products aro steady and will be so for two cr three weeks, after which butter may fall off ono or two cents per pound.
