On Saturday, June Btb, I held the usual weekly produce sale at the Mart' l'aliiatua. The demand was limited, and sales were effected at reduced rates from last week's prices, considering the quality offered. Onions, really good, Id to l{d per Hi; potatoes, £2lss per ton. At the tree sale tho demand was slack, and low prices prevailed. During the week the demand for produce at the Marthas been very limited, and sales only effected at reduced rates from last week's quotations.
