The above quotations represent the
prices obtained by receivers for whole
sale lots and are not jobbing prices.
Business has been quiet and disap-
pointing in the local wholesale market
for fruits and vegetables during the
past week. Conditions have been
favorable to lively movement; the
weather has been fine, supplies are
plenty and prices reasonable, but the
demand lacks the vim usual at this
time of the year. The market gener-
ally is steady.
Receipts of potatoes have been small
er, and there is slightly better feel
ing, though without material change
in quotations. Most Of the arrivals of
sweet potatoes have been in baskets.
Bermuda onions are shade easier, but
domestic offerings, particularly choice,
sound stock, are firm. Turnips are
plenty and cheap. Spinach has been in
good supply and demand. Cabbages
are firmer. There are more string
beans in the market, but good many
lots are poor; fancy beans meet with a
ready sale at full quotations. Celery Is
not very plenty. SQuashes are steady.
Hothouse tomatoes are lower, but
southern stock remains firm. Aspara-
gus is rather scarce and firm. Rhu-
barb is moderately active at the prices
of a week ago. Lettuce is higher, and
kale, owing to light receipts, remains
firm.
Apples are quiet and prices are more
in favor of the buyer than they have
been in 10 years. About 80 percent
of the supplies are baldwins. Fancy
table stock is scarce and quotations
are nominal. Cranberrles are dull and
easy. Fancy strawberries are wanted
even at the high prices asked.
