The loca! fruit and vegetable market
has done a little better, The steadiness
of prices in spite of the rather large
supplies and a none too active demand
has been the feature. Changes have
been very few, and in no instance have
they indicated much.
The demand for apples, particularly
for fancy fruit. is broadening. Receipts
are not heavy and. though prices have
not advanced, they are decidedly tirmer
than they were ii few weeks ago,
Cranberries are selling little better
tnan they have sold. and fancy lots are
tirmer. Domestic grapes are pretty
well exhausted. Pears are still dull,
though some demand has recently
sprung up from outside markets.
White potatoes are plenty, in Slow
demand and weak. Receipts of sweet
potatoes are larger, but they hold up
under good buying. Cabbages are not
very plenty and further advance is
noted. Fancy large onions are scarce
and firm. Squashes are steady and
celery does not change much. String
beans are more plenty and easier
Spinach is in fairly good supply, but
the demand is brisk and prices are firm.

than they have had. Cucumbers range
as high as So box. but also as low
