Show LARGE SMPHF PiDUCTS RECEIVED Market Men Find Little Time to Arrange Display of California Cali-fornia Fruits. BusinoBS was unusually .brisk on tho Salt Lake produce market Wednesday, and dealers had but very llttlo time to urrango tho display of tho largo shipment of California frulta and vegetables which arrived here In the forenoon. Ovor half of tho shlpmont consisted of varlouB fruits, half of ono of tho cars being devoted de-voted to Btrawberrles alone. Strawberries are now becoming exceedingly plentiful, and tho dealers aro growing rather nervous ner-vous at tho Idea of being compelled to reduce tho prlco of tho fruit In order to dlsposo of It before it becomes spoiled. Tho housewlfo looks at tho situation In a very different manner, however, and laughs up her sloovo, saying she will wait a few days until the price drops. The farmers also kept the commission men rather busy, particularly during tho early part of tho day. They were In town when tho sun was barely up, with their wagons loaded with Bplnach, green onions, asparagus, lettuce, radishes, rhubarb, rhu-barb, and other spring products. Other specialties on the market were egg plant, at 30 cents a pound; fresh cucumbers, at 15 and 20 cents each; grapes, at 30 cents a pound; lomons, at 20 cents a dozen, and summer squash at 8 1-3 cents a pound.
