Dealings have again been on a very
light scale In the local fruit and vege-
table market during the week. The
weather has been more favorable. but
with the passing of that detriment has
come a falling off In demand from sum
mer resorts. The outlook does not favor
much activity in fruits and vegetables
for n couple Of weeks at the earliest,
though the demand from local sources
should now begin to expand. The mar.
ket continues we'll supplied with prac-
tlcally everything and prices are low.
Apples have not shown a grent deal
of life. though choice. sound. hand
picked lots have gore pretty we'll. The
demand runs very largely to box fruit
and receivers have found 1t rather hard
to interest buye rs In barrel stock.
Cranberries are coming along quite
freely, but they do not meet with much
OF a sale and so many Of them are green
that dealers are quite glad to accept
very low figures. Cantaloupes are in
rather light supply, and are having a
very fair sale.
POTATOES have ruled steady, more be-
cause Of light arrivals than because of
a good demand. Sweet potatoes have
not been plenty, and it has been an easy
matter to hold prices up. Cabbages
continue in full supply and the outside
quotation Is the exception rather than
the rule. String beans are plenty and
cheap, and other kinds of beans arr
lower than they were. Native cucum-
bers are not quite as plenty as they
were and have advanced a little. On.
ions are In good supply and steady.
