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
mostly in an upward direction. Speak
ing Of the immediate outlook, a well
posted dealer says that with seasonable
weather there should be a 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 safe 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 well 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:
