change in the condition of vegetables since
last week Most of the varieties are now
from the late crop, which, owing to the fine
growing weather, are in excellent condition.
The fruit season, which is now drawing to
close, has been one of the best in many
years. The quality of fruit was far supe-
rior to last season and the demand much
greater. There is still abundance of fruit in
the market, some varieties of which owing to
the cool weather, are in better condition than
at any time this season. Peaches from the
late crop are still in abundance. Pears also
seem TO improve, and are beautiful in APP

his been on the decrease since fall set IN,
and the supply of this fruit is becoming
scarce. There is but little change to note
in prices since last week.
