Business has not been at all brisk in
the local fruit and vegetable market
The buying has been from hand-io
mouth order, and retailers have shown
little disposition to anticipate theit
Christmas wants. Changes in prices
have been numerous The most remark
able one was In cranberries, receipts
Of which have been running exceeding.
ly light for the past two or three weeks.
Fancy lots are not easy TO find under
SD barrel. and the poorer offerings
are not at all plenty
generally firmer feeling is noted in
apples. partly because of a better de-
mand and also because supplies are not
large. There is an especially good call
for choice apll les suitable for the table.
Real fancy Baldwins have fetched $3.50
while some good lots of No. rs have
sold ms high as $3.50. Greetings have
moved up little. Quotations of sweet
varieties are not changed. but some
nice lots have gone slightly above
quoted prices. Common sweets. Hub
bardstons and middlings will probably
pass out for this season during the
coming week Fancy northern spies
have sold as high as 81 a barrel.

and full quotations are realized only
on choice fresh stock Cucumbers
have had sharp advance and squash
es are decidedly tlrmer. Lettuce con-
tinues easy, but radishes and parsley
have moved up. Cabbages and onions
are steady. Turnips are in good supply.
