Dealings in fruit and vegetables have
been satisfactory in the local market

and we'll distributed: The cool wealth
er has kept down the receipts of aspara-
gus and cabbages are scarce, but there
seems to be enough Of everything else
to go around.
Although apples are dull, prices are
fairly firm, because receipts have been
small, but sales at the outside quota
tions are infrequent. Other fruits are
so plenty and return so much more
profit that most of the retailers are ne
glecting apples. Strawberries We're
very plenty and sold as low as 4c a
quart, but arrivals lately have been
fewer and the price has gone up. The
proportion of fancy lots is still very
small and such berries command
large premium. A few consignments
have been received from Maryland, but
most of them are still from North Caro-
lima and Norfolk.
Potatoes are quiet. Old stock has not
been coming forward very fast but I'm.
der a slow demand they have accumu-
lated. \
Native onions are practically out OF
the market, but there are large supplies
of other kinds; the inquiry is not brisk
and prices lean in the buyers favor.
String beans are quite plenty, but there
are few lots that are really fancy and
most sales are below quotations, which
are for the best. Lettuce, rhubarb and
tomatoes are all cheaper than they
were a week ago. Turnips are moder-
ately active and steady. Radishes have
moved up, and new bunch beets are
held at almost prohibitive prices.
