St. Paul daily globe., 1886-05-11

Generally speaking the produce market
is in a good condition, though there are one
or two articles that are every way weak
Fruit of all kinds is in good demand except
apples. Oranges are in good supply and firm
Riverside selects and Mediterranean sweets
and paper rnds have advanced. Lemons are
also strong and firm, especially Californis
lemons, which have advanced. Bananas and
pineapples are steady. 1t is difficult to state
precisely the situation with regard to apples
The old decayed stock has been picked over
and that which is offered for sale is of pretty
fair quality. A large part of the stock that
was held over has been lost through decay
and some of the stock that was placed in cold
storage when brought out quickly decayed
so that some dealers object to handling it as
there is no reliance to be placed upon it
Some of the stock that has been reassorted is
fair. Good stock is very scarce indeed and
daily growing more so. Live poultry is steady
Butter is without change. A good deal OF
fresh stock is daily arriving and quotations
are little easier. Cheese quiet. The call:
