per day arc sold during tho season Of straw bcr-
rios in our markets. AS | havo understood, this

strawberry stands at Lower Market street last
Saturday, and found ono hundred and sixteen
cases, averaging thirtv-fivo boxes Of ono quart
each to tho case, boing total of four thousand
and sixty quarts. The quantity offered at Canal
Market, and at various stands through tho city,
would easily increase the aggregate TO five thou
sand quarts. These arc sold at present from 5 to
6 cents por quart, according 10 quality, tho price
of the article averaging 8 cents throughout their
entire period of sale.
