Local fruit and vegetable dealers
have had only fair business. The
market is not heavily stocked and
prlces generally are firm.
Apples are fairly active and trading
has been the best of the new year A
good many lots that were originally
intended for export were put OH sale
here because of a decline in the Eng
lish markets. Prices have held up well
in spite of this increase in the offer
ings. Some lots of fancy high colored
Baldwins have brought as high as 81
a barrel. but most offerings are cheaper.
Really good Rings bring So a barrel,
but many lots go for less money. But
few HubbardstonS are left here and ar
rivals are small and scattering.
Potatoes are lower and rather weak
as a result of increased receipts and
no corresponding improvement in the
demand. Sweets are easy; the demand
is chiefly for small lots of choice fresh
stock, and the surplus over these re-
quirements moves slowly at low
prices. Cabbages have a good sale
and show u hardening tendency in the
absence Of large supplies. There are
large offerings of domestic onions,
most of which are poor and small; quo
tations are irregular. Receipts of
string beans are light and prices are
easily maintained. Squashes are in
| steady request and firm. Celery has
stiffened Cucumbers are still high.
