The movement of fruits and vegeta-
bles has broadened considerably in the
local wholesale market and increasing
demand is now looked for. A week or
two ago dealers found it easier to buy
than TO sell apples, but now Just the
reverse is true. Prices do not change
much, but the feeling is firmer and sew
eral sales Of fancy lots are heard of in
excess Of quotations. The best grades
of russets now range up to So barrel.
but sales of inferior lots are reported as
low as So. Once in a while So is secured
on Ben Davis apples, but most of them
do not bring that \ few barrels of
fancy northern spies sold for $3.50 and
an unusually choice lot for $3.50 but

The sharp advance in potatoes a
week ago caused heavy shipments. and
later they were too plenty and conse-
uuently cheaper, but the supply was
reduced and prices stiffened. Sweets
have continued firm. String and butter
beans are scarce and high. Asparagus
is rather more plenty but still high.
Cabbages are bit easier under larger
receipts. Kale and spinach are very
| plenty and considerably cheaper than
they were a week ago. Dealers find it
hard to clean the market of domestic
onions. though they are offered very
| low; the best ones are Sprouting and no
one wants them in that condition. Hot
house rhubarb is scarce and higher, and
| the California offerings are very poor.
