The local fElAkand vegetable market
gave indicaflons of extending the i'm
proysnlent Of the week before. but
complaints of an unsatisfactory bust
ness are heard. Prices are not greatly
changed from those of week go, but
the tone of the market is easier.
Consignments of apples have not
been heavy. Gravensteins and other
fancy red varieties, as well as choice
hard cooking sorts, have been in good
request at well-sustained prices
Cantaloupes have gone down under
large offerings and a rather slack de-
mand. Only a fair call has been noted
for cranberries.
Peaches have been fairly plenty, in
good request, but have dropped a little.
Pears haze done a little better than
recently. Plums have advanced a little.
The market for white potatoes is
weak under rather heavy receipts and
a quiet demand. Sweet potatoes also
! are easy, with offerings large and not
much snap to the inquiry. The mar
ket is abundantly supplied with every
| thing in the line Of native green garden
| and farm truck, with the possible eX.
| ceptiOn of cucumbers, and prices are
low and easy, Receipts of onions are
| heavy and since most Of the arrivals
are of small size and poor quality most
sales are at very low figures.
