The cool weather has been responsible
for still another very quiet week in
the local market for fruits and vege-
tables. The demand during the past
week has been largely local. Out-of
town dealers have not done much, as
The warm car service on the railroads
has been far from perfect and they did
not want to take chances of receiving
their goods frozen.
The market as a whole has been
firm, although oranges and potatoes
have eased off owing to excessive sup
plies. The market is overstocked with
potatoes, the demand is slack and re-
ceivers are shading prices.
Southern garden truck is not coming
in very freely and is very high, particu-
Larry spinach and string beans. Kale
is scarce and good fresh stocks easily
command top quotations. Offerings of
sweet potatoes are very small, and as
much as So Dbl has been paid for Vine
lands. Onions and cabbages are steady,
though plenty, and in rather light re-
quest. Squashes and turnips are quiet
and unchanged.
Apples are plenty, and bring outside
prices only when choice and of good
size and color The season for cram
berries is on the wane; they are in
light supply, but the call for them is
small. Vegetables are quoted as fol-
lows:
