Potatoes. onion. ana yeretahle.

The local Potato market has not lost the hoi-
day aspect which characterized it early in the
week, No heavy buying is looked for until after
the turn OF the year, retailers and jobbers
are taking just about enough to tide them over
from day to day. and there is strong disposi-
ton among some buyers to hold back pending
the arrival Of the large lines of Eastern stock
rolling this way. The general tone OF the mar
ket is one of strength. however. and receivers
are making concessions to buyers. Onions
are steady. with the receipts still running light.
Southern vegetables In free supply yes

Beans holding up. Tomatoes were very weak,
the offerings consisting chiefly of culls and rain
damaged stock. which found Tery slow sale at
weak rates. Peas dull and lower, and
Mushrooms in burdensome supply with
only the choicest lots receiving any attention.
