Taken as a whole The week has not
been a very brisk one in the local
fruit and vegetable market. Houses
that serve an out-of-town trade have
done a good business, but in most
cases the demand is only fair. The
market is abundantly supplied with all
kinds of farm products and prices are
reasonable. Fruits, on the other hand,
are not very plenty and prices are pretty
stiff.
There is a good market for choice
apples, but common offerings move
rather slowly. Peaches are very
scarce and the offerings Of pears are
not very large. Cantaloupes are here
in abundance and have to go very
cheap in most instances. Blackberries
are in light supply, but blueberries
have been coming forward freely. The
season for raspberries is over and for
gooseberries is nearly at an end.
Cabbages, cucumberS, elephants and
peppers are In very large supply and
native tomatoes are coming to market
in large quantities. Receipts Of onions
have been heavy and they are lower.

sale. Pears are not very plenty and
offerings of string beans are only mod
erately large. The market is well sup
