Corn Is exceedingly firm at aa advene

of still better prices. . . ; j
Advanced quotations on apples are
looked for after the first ot the 7 ear.
Bualness in the jobbing lin fed Oft
yeaterday and a quiet market Is looked
for from now on.
Flour has advanced SOo per barrel sine
spring. Millers in the meantime have
become much stlffer la tnair term. At
the beginning of the season they sold on
forty-five days time. Now they require
cash without discount on receipt of ship-
ments. The first strawberries ot the season
reached the city yesterday from Aldliw.
They were grown by T. M. Bellers and
consigned to W. Johnson who presented
them to The Poet. They are exceptionally
fine and will be on the market in quanti-
ties In about a week. Mr. Johnson who
was formerly with Melllnger but who
is now with Oeiselman will as usual
handle these berries this season.
There is some market topping English
peas cauliflower radishes carrots par-
aley lettuce and beets from Aldlne In
thla market W. Johnson being the con-
signee. '

The Sweet Potato.
The sweet potato although used large
ly In Europe long before th introduction
of the common whit tuber has never
become a common vegetable in our
northern clime but has always been re-
garded more as a delicacy. This is prob-
ably the reason why along; with Its
scarcity at certain seasons and likewise
Its poor keeping qualltlee. It doe not hold
such a'favored place among all classes aa
Its favored rival that has not only taken
Its former place but alao Its name
Formerly both sweet and white pota-
toes were made Into sweet dishes and
used as a kind of confection but gradu-
ally cooks discovered that they made
more acceptable dishes when prepared
ae savory accompaniment to meats and
thereafter relegated them to the vege-
table list although they are etui oc-
casionally employed In sweet dishes. In
taot the sweet potato takes rather mora
kindly to this manner of cooking than
plain serving. While we In the north pre-
pare and cook It In much ths same way
as we do the common potato the south-
em cooks prefer their carameled and
candled their sweet scalloped potato be-
lieving that the yellow-skinned their
white potato Is greatly Improved In fla-
vor by the addition of sugar and It most
undoubtedly is; and when one gets ac-
customed to this way of preparing them
sll other methods seem flat and insipid.
These methods are very good onea to em-
filoy when our sweet potato begins to
ose freshness snd flavor aa It does about
the first of the year the season for our
native grown being nearly over.
A sweet potato In good condition Is
firm plump smooth and free from
sprouts. The medlum-slsed are the best.
Unless sweet potatoes are to be diced
and creamed they should be cooked
without paring first removing the dried
ends and all dark places which are apt
to glv a bitter dlaagreeable taste to
the cooked vegetable. Waah them well
before putting them on to cook and If
they are to be baked they should be
thoroughly dried first. The usual time
required for boiling Is from thirty to fif-
ty minutes according to slse; baking
and steaming about half an hour.
