Last week was a decidedly unsatis-
factory one in the local market for
fruits and vegetables. The extreme
heat which prevailed up to Friday had
the effect of depriving the demand of
the little life it had previously shown.
The movement of apples has been
especially restricted by the hot weather.
The call for choice sound fruit has not
been particularly lively, while the
poorer offerings have been a positive
drug on the market. The season on
berries is pretty well over.
Grapes are arriving quite freely from
| the Hudson river sections. For the
black varieties there is not great deal
Of call and they go cheaply. Della
wares have fairly good sale. Good
| peaches sell well, but the movement of
inferior lots is draggy. Pears are
| plenty, dull and easy
The week has been a quiet one in po-
| tatoes. both white and sweet, and
| prices have ruled easy. Jersey Green
mountains have gone slowly and most
" in small lots. The arrivals from
green and hard to place. Sweet pota-
toes have steadily declined throughout
the week under large arrivals and a
slow demand. Cabbages, tomatoes,
onions, green corn, string beans and
turnips all are here in abundance and
freely offered at very low figures. Ma
| tive cucumbeTs are rather scarce and
the best lots are dear, Lettuce re,
mains cheap, but celery has advanced
| a little. Squashes are steady.
