Naturally the receipts will be rather limited at first and the price pretty steep, but with a couple of weeKs of warm weather, there will be an abundance of the stock for the local market.

Advance quotations for gooseberries being sent out by local commission houses is $1.50 a crate. Owing to the probability of some of the strawberry crop being hurt by recent frosts commission houses are not anxious to haard a quotation for this variety of berry, preferring to wait and see how recepts come in. Among other good things to eat promised for next week, are new sweet peas, new bunch beets and bunch carrots. New bunch turnips are coming in liberally, and there is a keen outside demand for this variety of vegetable. The wholesale price today was 85 cents per half crate.

Another tes days will see the most of the asparagus crop gone. WILL ASSIST IRRIGATION PROJECT Commercial Club Directors Holding Meeting This Afternoon. President John B.
