Ing tendency.
The apple market Is sitter, though
prices are not greatly changed. The
demand has been livelier, particularly
for fancy eating stock. Cantaloupes
do not move very freely, but offerings
are small and they are much higher
Cranberries sell well, but cooler wealth
pr Is needed before they will become
active. A brisk demand is noted for
grapes. and at times dealers have found
IL hard to fill orders.

been restricted by shortage Of cars
at the primary points. The demand has
been light but the lack Of large sup
plies prevents lower prives. Sweet po-
tatoes are doing better under falling

of good size are in light supply, steady
demand and firm. but the market Is
overstocked with poor lots that have to
be sold at very low prices. Cabbages
are plenty, but they have good sale,
