Business has picked up materially in
the local wholesale fruit and vege-
table market during the past week.
The market is plentifully stocked and
prices are considered low for this time
of the year. Asparagus is almost the
only Offering that is bringing any
where near the prices of last spring.
A somewhat steadier feeling has de-
veloped in potatoes; receipts have not
been so heavy, the demand has been
larger and prices are firmer. Old
cabbages, beets, parsnips and carrots
have advanced since a week ago and
turnips are higher. Receipts of as
paragus have been larger and include
the first shipments of the season from
New Jersey; prices are easier. All
kinds of green's are lower; supplies of
spinach are especially heavy. Rhu-
barb is cheap and string beans are
easier. Peas have advanced and Gu
almost out of the market, and the few
that remain move slowly except when
sound. Squashes and tomatoes are
firm.
Baldwins and russets are about the
only kinds of apples now in the mar
ket; a few scattering lots of table
stock bring from $3.50 to So a barrel,
according to quality. Cranberries are
cleaning up slowly. Strawberries come
in freely and meet with ready sale.
A few lots of California cherries, re-
ceived by express. sold at $303. % per
10-lb box for fancy and 81. 2502.75 for
choice.
