The poor weather has been felt in a
rather dull trade in the wholesale fruit
and produce market in this city.
Changes in prices have been few, but
ing of the immediate outlook, a well
posted dealer says that with seasonable
weatheg there should be better move
ment of the various products, but that
prices will not advance much while
supplies are as plenty as they are at
present.
Receipts Of onions have been heavy,
and though there is some accumula-
ton as result of quiet trade, prices
are little changed from a week ago.
Cabbages are very plenty at 304c each.
Squashes are offered freely at low
prices. Native string beans have gone
out of the market, but the southern
ones are here, and sell we'll when
choice and fresh. Turnips are in good
supply and only choice stock brings top
prices. A shortage of cars has kept
down the receipts of potatoes during
the week, and as the demand has been
good, prices have been firm all the
week. Sweets have been arriving in
small quantities, and prices have ad-
vanced, though the call has not been
active. Vegetable quotations follow:

1t has been slow in fruits. Receipts |
of apples have continued very heavy, |
and the market shows no Improvement |
The demand is still largely confined to |
fancy table stock, which is in short |
supply and commands a premium. /
Pears have been in short supply, and |
full prices have been obtained for all |
offered. California peaches are about |
the only kind now in the market. A |
few York state were offered during the |
week, but the quality was poor and |
no one seemed to want them. The Cali |
fornias are of very good grade and have |
a ready sale. The movement of cram |
berries is small in the local market. |
Shippers on the Cape are sending their |
cranberries west, where they are Sc |
curing better prices than in Boston. |
The only plums now offered are Cali |
fornias. Grapes sell well, but supplies |
are large and prices low. Choice |
ounces are scarce and command high |
prices. The citrus fruits hold firm. |
