The most notable weakness in the
local fruit and vegetable market is in
apples. The movement is slow and, as
receipts have been larger, peaches are
distinctly easier. Local prices are low
er than those at the primary points. Po-
tatoes and cucumbers are considerably
higher than they were.
There is little call for blueberries,
and but few coming forward. Gran
berries have a moderately active sale.

are in light supply and higher. Plums
and pears are steady.
