1t has been dull and featureless in
| the local fruit and vegetable market.
| The demand is always light just after
| Thanksgiving, but this year the dull
| ness has been rather more pronounced
| than usual, Supplies, particularly of
| garden truck, are sufficient for the de-
| m6nd but prices as a whole are firm.
The apple market is improving. Re
| ceipts have not only been smaller but
also of better quality. The recent I'M

large measure to an oyer-suppIy of com
mon fruit, but that surplus has been
used up and the market is in better |
shape than ii has been before in sew |

higher prices are looked for during the |
next few weeks. Cranberries have |
