! Choice nearby, 21@211zc; eastern, 100
| 1910: western, 1S1zQ19c.
/ Business in the local market for
/ fruits ard vegetables has not increased
much The volume of trading is very
+ disappointing for this time of the year.
! The market is plentifully supplied
! Lettuce is almost the only product that
is as high as usual. Receipts of green
! garden truck have been large, and the
returns to the grower especially in the
| case of spinach, must have been very
| unsatisfactory.
Asparagus is in good supply, but
not moving very well. Apples are dull
and no immediate improvement is
! looked for. Fancy selections are well
cleaned up; most of the storage stock
is coming out in poor condition. The
outlet for apples is limited both here
and abroad, and it is believed that
dealers who have them in storage will
suffer severe losses.
Potatoes are plenty and easy under
a light demand. Cabbages are steady
but onions have declined Cucumbers
and turnips are lower. String beans
are rather scarce and choice fresh Of
ferings readily bring top quotations.
Florida tomatoes are bit easier than
they were. Rhubarb and squashes hold
at about the prices of a week ago.
Sweet potatoes sell well. Vegetables
