Wheeling.
The local produce market is usually
quieter during the early part of the week,
and this was the condition of things yes
terday. The amount of green stuff that
comes into the Wheeling market is some
thing wonderful and generally the dealers
are Kept busy loading and unloading truck.
Tomatoes, which were keeping up IN
price pretty well, have received a terrible
''black eye"-in fact the whole bottom Is
knocked ont of them. A drop in one day
from 81 75a2 90 to 5Oa75c per bushel, Is
some cause for remark. at least the dealers
who got left with stock on hand think so.
Blackberries are about played ont and
with the exception of some small changes
in other truck, the prices remain about the
same as at our last report. The prices
quoted below are wholesale figures and
all green stuff Is home raised. The
