A distinctly better feeling is noted in
the local fruit and produce market.
Business has been in larger volume and
prices with but few exceptions have
shown considerable frmness. The
weather of late has been less destruc-
tive than it was a week or two ago
and dealers in consequence have not
been so willing to shade prices to pre-
vent a total loss by spelling. There
have been few important changes in
prices.
Onions are in moderate demand at
about last weeks prices. Cabbages are
plentiful, but slightly higher prices are
being obtained for them. Green corn
sis having a steady sale at 4Oc to SOC
bushel. Squashes and tomatoes are
coming in freely and selling at low
prices. Turnips are plenty, but not ma
terially changed in price. The potato
market is we'll stocked and as the de-
mand is only moderate prices are
easy. Other vegetables show little
change from a week ago. Vegetable
