Show TWO WEEKS' BIG RUSH CLOSED YESTERDAY Storms Give Jobbers a Hespite Mora Utah. Products Shrinkage Shrink-age in Oranges. Trado was quite good yesterday, In splto of tho dirty weather. Most of tho dealers wero busy getting thoir stuff out to supply the people with their week-end provisions. Salmon was sold out early In the day, although plenty of shipments had arrived. The demand was good for all kinds of fish, but salmon was a leader. Prices in both tho flsh and poultry markets mar-kets were unchanged. Not so much Eastern East-ern poultry has been brought In during tho last ton days, as tho home-grown firoduct has been more plentiful and a argo amount has been coming from tbo surrounding country. As far as fruit and vegetables woro concerned, con-cerned, tho wholesolo dealers wero glad to got somewhat of a resplto yesterday. For tho last two weeks everybody In that lino has been kept so busy sendinc stuff out into tho country that many wero not sorry that tho storms and thoir consequences conse-quences gave them a chance to let up a llttlo on tbo strain. In these lines, too, Utah growers havo boon doing much better of late. This fact has been of value In reducing the prlco of soveral commodities, such as asparagus, spinach, onions and rhubarb, while tho quality of other vegetables, such as radishes rad-ishes and lettuco has boon considerably Improved. Tho leading featuro of the markets during tho lust week has been tho arrival of somo summer vegetables to tako tho placo of a few of the old winter ones that have been placed on tho retired re-tired list for the next row months. Oranges aro now quoted at from J2.C0 to $3.(0. Tho oauso of this ralso Is not any decrease In the supply of citrus fruit, but tho Increasing nhrfnkago that the dealers havo to contend with. As much as 80 per cent has been tho amdunt to be- thrown In tho was to cans of the stuff that 1h lm-ortcd, lm-ortcd, while tho uvcrago Is about 33 per cent. Tho season is getting rather lato and 3omo of Uio fruit that Is packed 13 too ripe. Dairy products havo been Arm all tho week. Eggs aro still at $5.50 wholesale, and butter at 25 cents per pound. Yesterday Yes-terday found many of tho dealers rather short on eggs. It is expected that this will bo remedied on Monday, so the prlco was not Increased at all. In tho meat markots tho only change that was registered was a drop In the prlco of spring lamlw; $3 Is tho wholcsalo price, and the retail figure, per quarter, is from $1 to $1.25. Business was fair up to tho middle of the week, but tho storms havo had a bod effect. Grain markets havo been very quiet all fho week and It is behoved that the top notch In prices has almost beon reached. Somo small Increases In oats and barley wero the only features.
