The unreasonable weather has made.
business dull in the local wholesale
fruit and vegetable market Offerings
have been plenty, as a rule, but as
uaragus and butter beans have been
scarce, and there were none too many
cabbages. Prices have moved up and
down, but taken as whole. the leve!
is slightly lower
Receipts of apricots, peaches and
plums from California have been large.
The quality of these fruits is said to
be unusually good for this time of year.
Stocks Of old potatoes have de-
creased, and prices are firmer. There
is a steady demand for new potatoes OF
good size and quality. Native peas
have reached the market, but are held
at high prices. Asparagus sells well,
and choice green cucumbers do not re-
main long in receivers hands. Fancy
tomatoes are scarce, but there is
plenty of poor stuff. The market is
overstocked with onions, and Bermu-
das are SO poor that dealers are forced
to sell them cheaply. Turnips are
firm. The call for marrow squashes
is very draggy. Offerings of string
beans are irregular, both as TO quality
and condition; choice stock is high, but
there are good many lots that have
to 60 at what they will bring.
