sale market for fruits, dealers in
vegetables report very fair trade.
Prices of many products are much
lower than week ago. The outside
quotation on new cabbage is 80 cents to
the crate lower. The supply of string
beans is larger and prices are more in
favor of the buyer than they were last
week. The offerings of peas are light
and prices are relatively firm.
There is steady demand for tomatoes
at full prices. Cucumbers are much
lower. Carrots and parsnips are a
shade higher. There is little market
for native and Spanish onions; Bermu-
das and Egyptians are firm. Turnips
rule steady. Spinach and beet green's
hold up well, but dandelions are lower
and kale is out of the market. BeetS,
squash and celery are little changed in
price, but rhubarb is a cent a pound
lower. A good trade is reported in pOta-
toes with prices slightly above those Of
