Fruit.
Dealers about Boston in the apple
trade are working upon their stored
up stock. The cold weather OF late has
prevented the shipping Of apple. from the
interior. The market can be quoted a
fraction higher than last week and firm
at the advance. Ii is thought that week
Of moderate weather would increase re-
eeipts from the interior and that prices
would crop nack TO what they have been
