There has been a slightly better
movement of apples during the week,
but without material improvement
in prices. Apples of choice quality are
CS1.or nh
ket, but it is too early for any great
demand and prices are low.
Peaches are in short supply and good
demand and prices as result are
higher. The shipments from Delaware
are almost over and as Michigan
peaches have not begun to arrive in
great quantity the local supply will be
largely dependent upon Connecticut,
where this years crop is said to be
small.
The season for blueberries is prac-
Hcally over, but a few consignments
are still coming in from the provinces;
there is a surprisingly good inquiry for
them.
There is not much doing in plums,
but prices hold up well. Grapes are
having a fair sale. A steady demand is
noted for cantaloupes. Colorado stock
is plenty and lower. Watermelons are
in light supply and higher.
