The apple market is in bad shape
Supplies are heavy and the demand is
slow. Strictly fancy fruit seems to
clean up fairly well. but poor lots are
not wanted and when sales are forced
quotations have TO be shaded from 25c
10 Soc n barrel. Cranbcrries are high
in view Of the quantity here and the
rather poor quality Of the offerings
Shippers are not forwarding many Of
the late varieties. and those are the
kinds wanted. California and Almcria
grapes sell well, but basket grapes are
not taken as freely as they were because
the quality Is poorer PlumS have
about run their course for this year.
White potatoes are more plenty and
easier. Sweet potatoes are dull nu4
sales have to be forced at til" expense
or prices. Cabbages are cleaning w u
little better and are firmcr. Cauii.
flowers are plenty and cheap. Fancy.
good-sized onions are wanted. but the
market IS oyerstGcked with small and
ordinary onions that are hard TO place
at any price. Lettuce and celery are
tride easier Most Of the string
beans are poor; good ones command
Ii gh prices. Tomatoes are scarce
Turnips are steady SQuashcs are dull
and easy, as the supply j. large. Gu
