DeciduomS and Citrus Fruits.

The maiket was literally supplied with most
descriptions Of Fruit and was rather quiet, the
local demand being light and the shipping
movement limited. Supplies OF table Grapes
continued excessive and all varieties were
quoted weak. The canncrs purchased freely OF
Muscat at $50 per ton and several lets OF To-
kay and black sold to winemakers at S2OG22
per ton. The regular wine Grapes were in
light receipt and moved freely at good prices.
Peaches in small packages continued plentiful
AID dull, but offerings in bulk cleaned up
quickly under a good demand from Gamers
Good Apples and Bartlett Pears sold well
enough, but low grade offerings dragged at un-
steady prices. Ounces Pomegranates and
Figs were plentiful and easy, while Prunes
were in small supply and firm. Receipts Of
Nutmeg Melons and CantalOupes were less
liberal than on the preceding day and prices
were hrmer. Supplies however. were sufficient
for all requirements Blackberries were scarce
and higher, but the other varieties arrived
freely and prices stood about the same as be-
fore quoted.
Citrus and Tropical Fruits were quiet and
featureless
The first car Of Cape Cod Cranberries for
the season came in yesterday and three more
cars were reported close at hand and expected
to arrive within forty-eisht hours They were
selling to arrive at 50 per barrel, the first car
being entirely sold out at that figure.

Yakima country is apparently good; that in
Cutting the third crop of alfalfa in the
irrigated districts. and the second crop Of
clover IN some OF the western localities pro-

reported large and Of good quality, in some
and in some parts Of the western division
there are reports OF blight and rot
The rain has benefited pastures. root crops
and late fruits and vegetables. II has also
put the soil in very fine condition for summer
fallow seeding and fall plowing although in
the drier districts Of the eastern counties more
rain is yet needed for seeding. Harvesting
would have been over in all localities before
