Dealings in fruit and vegetables have |
been satisfactory in the local market. |
The demand generally has been good
and well distributed. The cool wealth
or 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. Straw berries were
very plenty and sold as low as &c 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 a
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 Disk
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
i ately active and steady. Radishes have
moved up, and new bunch beets are
0 held at almost prohibitive prices.
