The dullness Of the past two or three
weeks in the local fruit and produce
market continues. The movement of
produce has again been hampered BY
the bad weather. Prices generally arc
but little changed from those of
week ago.
Green garden truck has been COM
ing in little more freely from the
south, but most of it shows the effects
of the weather. Spinach is more plenty
and lower, but there is not much sale
here, and the few lots of spring beans
offered sell at high prices. Choice
southern tomatoes are quoted at 81
crate, but such stock is scarce; most
of the arrivals are of very ordinary
quality, the best of which brings only
$3.50 a crate. The market is still
plentifully supplied with potatoes, and
as the demand is quiet they are cheap.
Sweet potatoes are coming in slowly:
Vinelands are the only variety Offering
and they bring from SIS to Sc a barrel.
Domestic onions are easier as a result
of heavy receipts. Cabbages have a
moderate sale at unchanged prices.
Squashes and turnips are steady.
Hothouse rhubarb is lower.
Apples are dull; offerings are large
and lower prices would not be surpris-
ing. There is little doing in either
cranberries or pineapples. The re-
cent storm in Florida severely dam
aged the growing pineapples and they
are expected to be scarce until about
July. The strawberry crop also was
injured by the storm, and the few
here bring extremely high prices.
