The weather continued to play havoc
with the local fruit and vegetable mar
ket during the past week. 1t was so
warm that buyers took hold in a very
sparing manner, and in the absence of
anything like unfavorable tempera-
lures production went on to such an
extent that the market is rather over
stocked. Especially is this true of farm
and garden truck, supplies OF winch
are greatly in excess Of current needs.
The season is pretty well over on blue
berries and late arrivals include good
many poor ones. Choice dry lots read
lily fetch 15020c, but the poor ones have
to 90 for considerably less. Canta-
loupes are not so plenty as they were,
but prices do not improve much. Gran
berries are coming forward freely, and
as the call for them is not very sharp,

Grapes have an excellent sale, In direct
contrast with practically everything
else. Peaches are only moderately ac-
tive. Pears are plenty and rather easy.
Potatoes were plenty, dull and easy,
but shortage of cars at shipping points
has restricted the arrivals lately and
the market is in somewhat better shape.
Sweets are in abundant supply and the
top quotations are not easy to secure.
Tomatoes are still coming in freely.
Offerings of green corn and cabbages
are large.
