The past week has been another busy
one for the local wholesale fruit and
produce dealers. The demand Is con.
stantly broadening and the transsc
tons are little larger than they usu.
ally are at this season Of the year. The
market appears to be well stocked and
but few products are dear.
The abundance of strawberries takes
all the life out Of the demand for ap-
Piles, and, if it were not for the bakers,
apple dealers would do very little. Re
celpts recently have been very light,
and 1t is believed that the country is
well cleaned up. Prices do not change
much. Russets are slow, and there Is
some disposition to shade prices on
them. There are still about 21OO bar
rels Of apples in cold storage, but in
another month many Of these will have
been sold.
Native asparagus Is coming along
freely and selling steadily at $500
40 box for average lots. and az high
as $3.50 for fancy large grass. Jersey
stock is in large supply. in light de-
mand and cheap. Cabbages are plenty
and in steady request, but prices take IA
wide range. Cucumbers are taken well
and are steady. Offerings of onions are
very heavy and since the demand Is not
large they are cheap. Peas are not
wanted unless they are choice and well
filled. String beans are in good demand,
but full quotations are obtained only
on the best lots. Choice ripe tomatoes
have good sale. Old potatoes are in
light supply and firm. Only the hest
lots of new stock sell well. The mar
ket is heavily overstocked with North
Carolina sweets and they drag at low
and easy prices. Native spinach. kale
and dandelionS are plenty and cheap.
Turnips are higher and firm. Squashes
are out Of the market.
