There has been a fair business in the
local market for fruits and vegetables,
but warmer weather is necessary to
make the demand more urgent. Sup
plies are plenty and prices as q general
rule are easier. The abundance and
cheapness Of strawberries have caused
the demand for staple fruits to fall off.
1t is said that the receipts of straw
berries would have been larger if a
shortage Of cars in North Carolina had
not prevented the shipment of thou
sands of crates
the arrivals have been less, and prices
have gone up about &c. There is a
steady inquiry for asparagus; native
stuff has commenced to arrive, and
shipments from New Jersey and the
south are large. String beans, peas
and new cabbageS are lower. Native
spinach is now in the market, as wei,
efO
and squashes hold firm. Tomatoes are
more plenty and decidedly cheaper.
Turnips are firmer Cucumbers are
easier, and plenty of rhubarb can be
had at low prices.
Apples do not change much: offer
ings are not very large, and the de-
mand seems to be only for the best lots.
Cranberries are dull. Cherries are more
plenty, but the quality of the fruit is
not very good.
