BUSINESS has been livelier in the local
market for fruits and vegetables, but
the volume of trading, according to deal
ers, is still much less than that OF last
wear at this time. The demand u.s. now
ever. more nearly equal to the supply,
and prices as a general rule are miner
than they were a week ago. Receipts OF
green garden truck have been smaller
and prices are higher.
Potatoes are weak and lower. The
movement to this market is still large
and as there has been no Improvement
in the demand receivers have been
forced to take what they can get for
their goods. Asparagus is i'll very light
supply and selling as high as $40 doZ
lunches. New cabbages from the
south have begun to come in and sell
fairly well; old stock is moderately ac-
tive and firmer. Kale and spinach re-
turn much better prices to Shippers
String beans are a little more plenty,
but fancy tomatoes continue rather
scarce. Domestic onions are higher,
but foreign stock has declined. There
is not much doing in peas, and cucu1G'
bers move slowly. Rhubarb is lower
Turnips are steady.
Apples are selling better and are
firmer There is practically no call for
cranberries. Receipts of strawberries
have not been large, and they have
ruled high.
