poor condition. Potatoes were steady. Good

There is little new to report in the way of
changes in the fresh fruit market. There IS
nothing Offering but Apples and Pears, and
the demand for them is hight in comparison

has checked the trade in citrus fruits, and the
market for Oranges is dull.
The poultry market is in good shape for
trading, with prices firm Tor young stock, par

cleared up well, and the California receipts
