Market Produce.

Mr J. Jones, reports :—

Poultry came forward in large supply to a better market than what has been ruling for some weeks. Good, co nditioned birds are well competed for. A great number of chickens, also poor co nditioned birds are coming in which are not meeting with a strong demand, cnickens especially are ruling low.

Butter and eggs are firmer. Potatoes are steady. Fruit has increased in supply this week, and prices have ruled low. B.C. pears andjapples are in very heavy supply. Pigs are wanted.
