A good. seasonable business has been
IN progress in the local fruit and vege-
table market. The demand, though not
accompanied by any great hustle, has
been quite as lively as it usually is at
this time of the year. There have been
q good many changes in prices, but the
general level is still high, though not
unusually so for this season. The mar
ket is not a1undantly stocked, but
there seems to be enough of almost
everything 10 meet requirements.
Apples have grown a little firmer,
more because of light receipts than an
active demand. On fresh arrivals of
fancy Baldwins $4.T5 is the extreme
quotation, but the best lots in storage
20 somewhat higher.
Potatoes have ruled steady, and
Green mountains went up a little. The
demand has not been very brisk. Sweet
potatoes are steady, but there is little
call for anything except fresh basket
! stock. Cabbages are very firm. Old
lots are pretty scarce, and arrivals of
this seasons growth have been light.
Celery is higlsr, but cucumbers have
dropped under larger offerings. String
beans are more plenty, but strictly
fancy lots are rather scarce. Spinach,
kale beet greens and dandelions have a
steady sale. Squashes are firm and
tomatoes hold up because they are in
such small supply. Turnips are in fair
request and steady. Lettuce, parsley
and watercress have declined. Old
beets also are lower. Rhubarb is firm
err, but asparagus and elephants have
dropped.
