There was q furry in eggs and some
recovery vas made in western and re.
fricerator stock. This advantage was
partially lost later. 1t is saidthatthe re-
frigerator stocks are being cleaned up
nrettv well. aud to this extent the mar
ket has improved, as the large offerings
of thls nature have been the worst fea-
ture Of the egg market for some time.

The dealings in the local fruit and
vegetable market are not very active,
but are quite are large as they usually
are at this season of the year, when
trading is never brisk, because the
stocks on hand are large and prices
are so high that retailers buy only what
they can readily dispose of. These are
the conditions today.
The demand for apples has been less
than it was, but receipts have not been
heavy and prices are well sustained.
Buyers will not pay full quotations ex-
cept on strictly fancy fruit. As prices
in Pittsburg, Philadelphia and Balti-
more are nc higher than they are here,
shipments to those cities are not profit
able.
Receipts of potatoes have been heavy,
and under a slow demand prices favor
the buyer. Sweet potatoes are steady,
but the inquiry is confined largely to
fresh basket stock. String beans have
eased off slightly, but they are still too
high for much activity. Supplies of old
cabbage are getting smaller all the time,
and they are bringing better prices.
Celery is not at all plenty. Cucumbers.
lettuce. elephants, peppers and bunch
beets have worked down. Good spinach
is high, but many poor lots have to 60
cheap. Onions and turnips are steady,
and squaShes are firm. Southern toma-
toes have dropped a little. and rhubarb
is off somewhat from the quotations of a
week ago.
