: The demand in the wholesale fruit /
and vegetable market has been well dis |
tributed and the supply has been SO
nearly equal to it that prices have not
changed much. In. the next couple of
weeks il is believed that they will get
down to about the usual summer level.
Old apples are practically all gone for
this year and they are hardly worth
quoting longer. New southern lots are
coming along fairly well and anything
of good size and quality sells readily.
Cantaloupes have been in excellent
request. Cherries are still dear. The
citrus fruits have had fairly good sale
AT unchanged quotations. Peaches have
gone well.
Potatoes are plenty. and as the de-
mand is not brisk they are rather weak
Old stock has passed out for the sea-
son. Sweet potatoes are moderately ac-
tive but steady under light receipts.
Cabbages are coming forward freely,
but they are SO cheap that they do not
accumulate. Supplies of cucumbers
are steadily increasing and they are
! working lower. The market for onions
continues to improve. Peas and string
beans are in good supply and cheap.
Tomatoes are firm, because offerings
are not large. Squashes are lower.
Turnips sell well when choice and OF
good size. Asparagus has passed out of
the market Caulifowers are cheaper
