ilM INACTIVITY ON PRODUCEMAHKET ExceJleut Grade of Sweet Potatoes Po-tatoes Now Being Sold at Stalls. SHIPMENT OF CALIFORNIA ALMONDS HAS ARRIVED Grapes Advance in Price and Concords Becoming Scarce. The usual INfonday conditions prevailed pre-vailed on ihe retail produce market yesterday, there being little activity in both buying and marketing. A shipment ship-ment of new California almonds and a carload1 of sweet potatoes, perhaps the best sold at the stalls this year, arrivod yesterday. Sweet potatoos are retailing at seven pounds for 25 cents. Irish potatoes po-tatoes remain steady, and it is improbable improb-able that there will bo any grcatdrop m price, as it is reported that the sup-ptyfroiu sup-ptyfroiu this Stato is limited and the freight rates will prevent tho importation importa-tion of potatoes from Idaho from bringing bring-ing about any material reduction. Onions socm to be scarce, and it is thought that they will be somewhat higher in price this year than usual. Tho wholesale price of tomatoes has advanced ad-vanced slightly, but not enough to affect af-fect the retail price. Black Prince grapes havo advanced o cents a basket and Tokays 10 cents a basket. It is probable that Concords will bo off the market after this week. Peaches arc also bocoming scarce. A shipment o shad, which is selling nt 35 cents a pound, arrived on the fish market vosterciay. ."atlisn ' i . and tho oyster supply, which was almost al-most exhausted Saturday, has been replenished. re-plenished. Thore is a tendencj' toward a steady advance in tho price of eggs. Wholesale Quotations.
