Business has been only moderately
active In the local fruit and vegetable
market. Farm truck has continued In
good supply at fairly reasonable prices.
The prospects are that this years
apple crop will be small, and they are
considerably higher than they were at
this time last year. Receipts are light
and there 10 a very good demand for
choice, well grown fruit. Plums are at
an almost prohibitive level, while quo
| tations on peaches and eating pears are
far from attractive. Grapes are COM
ing along more freely and have a good
sale.
Supplies Of potatoes are rather light.
but there seems 10 be enough for the
demand. Sweet potatoes are plenty.
Of good quality and sell fnirly well.
Green corn and cucumbers are album
dant and offerings Of eggplants are
much In excess OF requirements. Peas
are scarce and higher. and string beans
hold up well under rather small re-
ceipts and a steady demand. Turnlps
have dropped and there are large
quantities of peppers to be had very
cheap. Onions are coming to market
freely and sell slowly except when
choice. Tomatoes are steady. Lettuce
10 frmer. but kindred plants have not
changed much since last week.
