Trading in fruits and vegetables for
Thanksgiving was as large as usual.
All kinds of small fruit. except apples
and pears went well, and the demand
for vegetables was broad. Prices
moved about good deal while the rush
Of buying was on, but then they set
tied down not very far from those Of a
week ago.
In marked contrast with the general
market, trading in apples has been
dull and very unsatisfactory. Receipts
have fallen off little, but supplies, eS-
pecially of ordinary fruit, are still eX-
cessive. Cranberries went well before.
the holiday, but have since been dull,
and as strictly fancy lots are scarce,
the best prices are rarely obtained.
Domestic grapes are practically out of
the market for this season. and foreign
ones are rather dear. Pears are dull;
the local market for pears was good
some years ago, but of late the demand
has steadily decreased.
Receipts of both white and sweet po-
tatoes have been very heavy and since
the buying has not been brisk the feel
ing is rather weak There is practically
no market for Virginia sweet potatoes

been very frequent, Onions, celery and
squasheS have gone well. Cabbages
continue in heavy supply and weak
under a slack demand String beans
are not plenty and prices for fancy
lots are high. Lettuce is easier. Gu
cumbers take a wide range. Turnips
are plenty and cheap.
