The local fruit and vegetable market
gave indications of extending the i'm
| provement of the week before, but
complaints of an unsatisfactory bust
ness are heard Prices are not greatly
changed from those of week ago, but
the tone of the market is easier.
Consignments of apples have not
been heavy. Grayensteins and other
fancy red varieties, as well as choice
hard cooking sorts, have been in good
request at well-suStained prices,
Catalogues have gone down under
large offerings and rather slack de-
mand. Only fair call has been noted
for cranberries. r.tf-st,.
Peaches have been fairly plenty, in
good request, but have dropped little.
Pears have done a little better than
recently. Plums have advanced little.
The market for white potatoes is
weak under rather heavy receipts and
a quiet demand Sweet potatoes also
are easy, with offerings large and not
much snap to the, inquiry. The mar
ket is abundantly supplied with every
thing in the line of native green garden
and farm truck, with the possible ex-
ception of cucumbers, and prices are
low and easy. Receipts of onions are
heavy and since most of the arrivals
are of small size and poor quality most
sales are at very low figures.
