The dealings in the local fruit and
vegetable market have been marked by
no more activity than characterized
hose Of the two previous weeks. The
demand from nearby sources is small
during the SUMMER, and the best buy
ing comes from. the. beaches and other
resorts. Fruits share proportionately-
better than vegetables in this buying,
because garden and farm truck are
raised so close to the resorts that they
are not dependent to any considerable
extent on the Boston market for sup
plies.
Choice hand-picked apples are in
limited supply, steady demand and
firm. Common fruit is plenty, dull and
easy. Nice gravensteins are wanted
for cooking and command high figures.
Bakers are taking hold of drop apples
well Berries are gradually working
out of the market. Raspberries are no
longer quoted and currants have passed
for this year Offerings of blueberries
are moderate and choice dry lots have
good sale.
Catalogues are plenty, but the offer
lngs include very few choice, sound
ones. Arrivals of peaches are light and
there is an excellent market for choice
fruit. Pears are getting more plenty
and cheap all the time. Plums remain
| rather dear.
The market is firm for white pota-
toes. because of light arrivals. Sweets
were scarce and firm, but are now
! plenty and easy. .Cabbages and corn
are in large supply and low, but there
is scarcity of choice ripe tomatoes and
they are higher. Cucumbers take a
wide range as to quality. Celery is low
er. Onions are firm and in good re.
quest. Turnips rule quiet and steady
Peas are in good supply and cheap.
