The local market for fruits and vege-
tables is still pretty quiet. The move
ment of fruits has been a trife larger,
but at that the buying has not been
snappy Dealings in vegetables do not
increase Supplies as rule are not ex-
cessive and the market has a firm tone.
There has been pretty steady move
ment of apples at well-sustained quota
tons. 1t is hard to get more than $4
barrel for fancy Baldwins. A few
greetings have been sold at 81 and
slightly above, but they were of extra
good quality and well packed. There
is not much call for sweet apples here,
| but in the south they are big favorites,
! and several shipments have been
made from this city. For the general
run of spies $3@4 is a good quotation,
| but well-sorted and well-colored lots
are considerably higher.
Maine potatoes are doing better, but
the market is still heavily stocked with
! Prince Edward Island potatoes, which
have to be sold at very low figures to
keep them moving. Receipts of sweet
potatoes are light, but the demand is
small and prices are little changed.
There is no improvement in onions.
Most of the arrivals from the western
part of the state are very poor and
have to be forced off at what they will
bring. Some are entirely worthless and
have to be thrown away. There Is
however, a ready market for good
sound stock. Cabbages are in goot
supply, fair demand and steady
Celery and cucumbers are very firm
and tomatoes and peppers still com
mand high prices because they ar
scarce. Strictly fancy string beam
readily bring $3.50 crate, but man,
lots go cheaper. Spinach, kale, etc
, sell well. SQuashes are firm and tut
: nips steady.
