1t has been pretty quiet in the local
fruit and vegetable market. Dealers
never look for and seldom have a big
business directly after the Christmas
rush, and the buying has shown no
variation from the rule.
No special change has occurred in
apples. The demand has been trifie
slow, but prices hold pretty steady.
Cranberries still command high prices.
though the demand is slack. Grapes
are firmer. Fresh arrivals from across
the water are very light and the de-
mand has to be met with those in stock.
The demand for potatoes has been
very light, but receipts have not been
large and prices have held up well.
String beans are irregular both as to
quality and price, but choice stock
readily brings full quotations. Cab
bages are in full supply and, though
not very active, are steady. Celery is
unchanged, but lettuce, parsley and
watercress are firmer. Cucumbers are
as high as they usually are at this sea-
son. Squashes have moved up. Kale
and spinach have advanced under light
er receipts. Turnips are steady.
