Business las been extremely quiet /
in fruits and vegetables. There has
been scarcely any snap to the demand,
and dealers have found it very hard
TO attract buyers even to bargains"
This is very rarely busy time in the
produce market, but according to
statements of various members of the
trade, former years seem big in con-
trast with current conditions. 1t is
hard to account for the dullness. The
weather has been favorable for good
display and this usually brings bigger
sales by retailers. Prices hold up sur
prisingly well in view of the dullness
and large supplies.
Apples are generally firmer, not be-
cause they have been in good demand,
but because receipts have been lighter.
Cranberries are Hp to $40 barrel.
But few are coming, and at that price
there is not much call for them.
Grapes are firm. Pears, dates, figs and
nuts are net changed.
Potatoes are weaker Receipts from
Maine have continued light, but the
stocks in reserve are pretty large and
the demand has been so small that re-
ceivers have been forced to shade quo
| tations to make sales. Sweets are
| steady. Arrivals are rather light, but
1 full enough for the requirements of the
! trade. Cabbages are fairly plenty and
! though not moving very freely are pref
| ty steady. Fancy string beans are
! scarce and bring full prices. Kale and
! spinach are not having very lively
sale Turnips are steady and squashes
are very firm. Onions and celery do not
change much. Radishes and lettue@
are a little cheaper.
