The local fruit and vegetable market
lie doing better, but there is still room
for improvement. The movement OF
fruits has been satisfactory, but there
! is a noticeable absence Of snap to the
demand for some Of the farm and gar
den products. A "spelW OF frosty
weather would help, as 1t would cut
down the shipments Of vegetables. The
| demand from the retailers Is always bet
ter when garden truck Is scarce and
high than when 1t is plenty and cheap.
Apples do not change much. Fancy
red varieties have u steady sale and are
firm, but green fruit is draggy ana
| cheap. The season on cantaloupes is
almost ended and the few that remain
are offered at low prices. There Is
u noticeably better call for cranberries
and fancy lots are snapped up quickly
Grapes continue in good request.
Peaches are not very plenty. but the
demand is light. Pears are rather dull,
! but that is because most of the offer
! ings are green. California plums are
III good supply, but damsons are very
scarce. ounces have appeared, but
there are not many yet. and they are
high.
Potatoes, cabbages and onions are
plenty and cheap. Receipts OF cucum-
bers do not increase much, hut the de-
mand Is smaller and they have dropped
q little. Lettuce is higher. Turnips are
quiet and rather easy. Beans of all
kinds are in light supply and firm.
