MR PALMER'S REPORT

Wo had a very heavy entry of poultry and prices showed a decided increase. There was a keen demand for pullets, which sold remarkably well considering the quality and size. We had over 600 cases or fruit to sell and the whole was cleared out at good average prices. J. he market for potatoes is firming, H , V IS , f<)r .-sound prime samples free of blight.
