The movement of fruits and vegeta-
bles in the local wholesale market has
continued lively and dealers, with one
or two exceptions, report a continue
ton Of the large and general demand.
Pears are still high and only a little
| strictly fancy California stock is to be
had Peaches are firmer, and some Of
the best Georgia offerings have sold as
high as $3.50 a carrier at wholesale.
The market has been abundantly
stocked with cantaloupes, many Of
them having been of poor quality; good
stock has sold readily at satisfactory
prices, but most lots have gone very
cheap. Watermelons have sold well
and prices have not changed much.
There is a good call for choice apples,
but not many are to be had.
| Potatoes have advanced under
smaller receipts. Cabbages are not
very plenty and firm. String beans
and cucumbers are firmer, but green
corn has declined. Peas are coming
forward freely, but a good demand
keeps prices up. Onions are in large
supply and lower for native and
Texas stock. Spanish onions are now
in the market, and native tomatoes
and she'll beans have begun to arrive.
