There was some Improvement noted last
week I'm tho demand for fruit and vege-
tables. There was, however, no special
feature TO the trade and but very few
changes in prizes We're reported. Fresh
vegetables are sim coming IN and are ON
the increase, but there IS no change in
quotations. Considerable interest is he
ing manifested in various parts of the
country in the potato market. II seems
10 he the opinion of a good many people
that there are more potatoes i'm the Coun-
try than hue been rtVkoued on. Last year
the cold weather destroyed thousands of
bushels and prices advance and for that
reason IL is said that farmers arc holding
their stock this year I'm the hope Of an
advance later on, TO correspond with the
advance OF last year. Tho time when new
potatoes Will be on the market is not far
distant and FOR that reason II Is argued
that those who are holding for higher
prices stand a good show of being forced TO
sell at a lower figure than present market
values.
