Business has been active in the deal
fruit and vegetable market during the
past week. Asparagus alone has been
scarce; dealers complain that other
things have been altogether too plenty.
Prices generally are reasonable.
The arrivals of strawberries have
been particularly heavy and the fruit
was very cheap, especially on Thurs
day when the very best offerings
brought only SC a quart. The first
watermelons of the season came last
week; they are not very active yet.
There is a good supply Of canteloupcs,
but they move rather slowly and only
fancy varieties bring the top quota
tons. Cherries are coming more free
ly and are cheaper. A few lots of blue
berries and blackberrieS have reached
the market, but they are hardly worth
quoting. Apples are firm and mod
erately active.
Asparagus has continued In hight sup
ply and high. A well-posted member
NJ the trade says that asparagus will
not be plenty this season, basing his
assertion on the fact that the weather
early in the season was cold and that
there has not been enough rain; the
plant, he says. needs both warm
Neather and rain. Old potatoes are
dull, very plenty and much lower than
they were a week ago. New potatoes
hold fairly steady under a moderately
active demand. String beans are
rather high, as supplies are not very
large. Cabbages and onions are free
ly offered, and there are plenty Of toma-
toes, though few that are strictly
fancy. Turnips are scarce and higher
Choice peas are wanted. Oucumbers
are lower and spinach and other greens
are cheap.
