There has been good lively bust
ness in the local fruit and produce
market during the past week, and as
| supplies have cleaned up well the mar
ket has a firm tone. Receipts of potu-
| toes have been running heavy for some
time: the trade has not taken hold very
freely, supplies have accumulated and
prices have declined till good stock
brings considerably less than half
what it did at this time year ago.
Fancy apples are wanted, but they
are scarce and command high prices.
Strawberries are coming in more free

plenty. String beans do not bring the
extreme prices of week ago. Lettuce
has advanced and onions are very
firm. Offerings of turnips are larger,
but prices are not lower. Spinach is
rather scarce and commands full quo
