~, with blueberries and raspberrieS N
good supply and cheap. Receipts Of
both cantaloupes and wstermelons
have been smaller and they are higher,
especially since the demand has been
lively. Fancy peaches sell well!
Piums are firmeT. Pears have begun
to arrive from California, but are
rather high. Advices from the coast
