FISH VERY SCARCE.

Supplies Should Be More Plentiful

To-morrow.

PEACHES AND PLUMS AVAILABLE.

Only limited quantities of a small range of fish are available in city shops, owing to the fishermen having been on holiday in the last few days. The boats were on the grounds to-day and supplies should be more plentiful tomorrow. Prices for the few varieties available are higher than was the case last week. Peaches and plums have come on to the market, but Island tomatoes and strawberries are not available now.
