The warm weather has not only
stimulated the demand In the local |
fruit and vegetable market, but 1t has
caused larger arrivals Of seasonable |
products. Prices In some Instances are
high, but the general level is not above
that of former years at this time.
Apples have been slow. Fancy lots
have fair sale at well-sustained
prices, but there is hardly any call for
common stock and they have to be
worked off pretty cheap. The lower
grades of Baldwins are down about 25c
barrel. Ben Davis are now offered
at S3.T5d4 a barrel, as against $4(d4.50
a week ago.

the last of the Florida berries have
been received for this season.

arrivals and a rather dull demand.

Green mountains, and they bring no
more than Hebrons or rose. Canadian
stock has begun to come. Quotations
are soc for Chile and 75dS0c for Bliss.

mand, and prices favor the buyer. All
kinds Of green garden truck are plenty
and cheaper. though in lively request.
