Business has not been very brisk in
the local fruit and produce market.
The weather has interfered with the de-
mand and has been ~unfavorable for the
shipment of perishable goods, so con-
s%equently dealers have put IN a rather
Improbable week. 1t is rather sur
prising that prices have not zone off.
for the supply of most staples has been
good as a matter of fact, the changes
have been few and most of them have
been advances.
Potatoes are still dull and cheap.
Receipts have not been heavy, but deal
ers could not mark prices up, as sup
plies were too large. Sweet potatoes are
easier; the quiet demand has caused
some accumulation and prices had to
be shaded to make sales. The recent
cold wave was felt at Norfolk and
green garden truck from that point
has been coming in rather poor cOndi-
ton.
Onions are steady. Cabbages meet
with a fair sale. Offerings of squash
are not large and for choice sound
stock full prices are easily obtained.
Turnips are plenty and firm. String
beans have to be choice to bring top
prices. Lettuce is higher and celery is
firm. Cucumbers take a wide range,
selling all the way from So to $18 a box.
Radishes are scarce and high. Veg
