The local fruit and vegetable market
displaysa a notable lack of activity.
Tie demand at the best has only been
fair. but the summer resorts are now
the main outlet for goods and local re,
tailers are doing very little. Under
the circumstances, dealings are as large
as could be reasonably expected. Tue
market is quite plentifully supplied
with everything and prices are low.
Receipts of apples are increasing all
the time, but they include only a small
proportion of choice, sound, hand
picked fruit; such stock is in good re-
quest and fetches good prices, but the
poorer offerings are not wanted, and
in a good many cases have to go for
what they will bring. The abundance
of the latter class of stock exerts a
| rather easy feeling on other kinds
| With the exception Of Williams, prices
| are lower on everything than a week
ago. Golden sweets have begun to come
| i'll and are having good sale at SO
$50 barrel.
| Catalogues are very plenty and &c
slowly at low figures, except when
fancy. There has been a marked in
crease in the receipts Of peaches, and
they are cheaper than at any time be
fore this season. Pears continue to get
more plenty and lower. Plums are
cheaper.
The market for potatoes is quiet and
easy. Jersey stock is accommodating and
prices are inclined lower. Sweet
potatoes have shown an upward trend
under light receipts and good de-
mand. Cabbages are abundant, will
81 the high level. Green corn and to
matoes are plenty and cheap. -Celer!
