It has been an unsatisfactory week
in the local fruit and produce market.
Prices have shown tendency to adj
vance, under light supplies, but the de-
mand failed to bring much activity.
The movement of vegetables was
of moderate proportions. The supplies
of onions have increased, but prices
were well sustained by a steady de-
mand. Cabbages have had a slow sale,
and though the offerings were liberal
prices are no lower than they were a
week ago. Squash has been plentiful
and cheap.
Beans sold in a small way at steadily
advancing prices. Tomatoes have not
been in lage supply and are much high
er. Turnips are dull and weak, under
large offerings. Potatoes have been
very firm, owing to rather light receipts
and a fairly active demand. Sweets
advanced during the past few days.

dull. Receipts have been heavy, and
there has been little demand except for
fancy table stock. These varieties
sold quickly at good prices but ordinary
grades moved slowly, and in many cases
quoted prices were not realized. No
immediate improvement is looked for,
as the apple markets all over the world
are in bad shape.
There has been a good demand for
pears, and as the supply is much below
that of former years, high prices have
been obtained. Cranberries are still
cheap, owing to liberal supplies and a
very light inquiry. There are very few
peaches in the market, but the call for
them is correspondence small. Plums
are almost used up. Grapes are plenty
and easy. Ounces have commenced
to arrive in small quantities, but there
is little call for them.
