The movement in vegeta bles has been
light, but changes in prices have been
mostly advances. Onions are selling
well at steady prices. Offerings Of cab
bages are large, but prices have not de-
clined. Green corn has advanced and
beans are higher than they were a
week ago. Tomatoes are not so plenty
as they were and are higher.
Cucumbers have advanced. Parsnips
are easier. Turnips are in rather short
supply and choice stock sells readily
at full quotations. Squashes are low
under liberal receipts. Potatoes were
quiet and easy early in the week, but
with the advent of cooler weather the
demand picked up and prices hard
ened. Business in sweets was good,
but a plentiful supply kept prices
down. Jersey double-heads, however,
showed firmness throughout the week
owing to light arrivals. Vegetable
