There has been a period of extreme
inactivity in the local wholesale mar
ket for fruit and produce. Supplies are
plenty, and as the demand is quiet it
is surprising that prices have not
dropped. Some have declined, but
most of the changes have been in the
other direction.
Vegeta bles have been dull and deal
ers say they have not had an active
Cay since Thanksgiving. In only
few" instances are the offerings small.
Cabba ges, squashes and celery are
particularly plenty. Cauliflowers also
are in good supply; native-grown stock
is scarce, but there is plenty from New
York. Onions are in limited supply
ord higher. Turnips have advanced.
Spinach sells fairly well and is higher.
Hothouse lettuce is easier, but chicory,
parsley and mint are hrmer. Water
cress is slightly lower. Southern string
beans and butter beans are scarce and
bring high prices. Potatoes are in good
demand and steady; receipts have been
rather light, owing to the continued
shortage of cars. Offerings of sweet
potatoes are small and as there is a
good call for them prices have ruled
high. Vegetable quotations follow:
