There is an upward tendency 10 he

tinue heavy, and there is nothing ap-
Iarently to justify higher prices ex-
cept some speculative demand. Choice

Dealings have been on a very lively
scale in the local wholesale fruit aid
vegetable market. Some dealers corl-
pain that there has been altogether
too much stuff in the market, and the
quality Of the arrivals in many in
stances has been poor.
Old potatoes have moved up sharply
under a shortening of receipts and
fairly active demand. New stock mas
been coming freely and has sold slow
~, except when of good size and quai-
is. Asparagus has been more pienti-
FIJI and prices have declined. Re-
ceipts Of string beans have been large,
Apples are slightly easier owing to
smaller inquiry. Dealers are offering
a new variety of banana known as tie
fg banana. They derive their name
from their flavor. which is much ike
that of a fig. They are sweeIer rEan
red banana, but not so rich; the size
is about half that of the larger banana
and they run about to 10 hands to
bunch. They are quoted at 75cQ$1.25
a bunch.
Receipts of cantaloupes have been
very heavy and the feeling is weak,
| since most of the arrivals have beer of
poor condition. A good many of the
recent receipts of strawberries have
| been soft and poor and have gone at
low prices. Fancy lots find a ready sale
at good prices. Blackberries sell slow
II and blues find buyers only when
Choice, large and dry. Cherries are
steady, but apricots and plums are
lower. Watermelons are in good re-
quest.
