The local fruit aud vegetable mar
ket continues to improve. The buying
has been Increased and as receipts In
many cases have been smaller, the mar
ket has cleaned up better than 1t had
before in several weeks Prices have
not changed great deal but the gen
eral tone Is firmer than 1t was.
The apple market as whole is do

are not going easily and common fruit
Is draggy. Fancy fail varieties are in
steady request and sales Of red table
stock above quotations are frequent
Good cooking stock also has ready
sale. The demand for cranberries Is
urgent, but strictly fancy lots are not
easy to find. Other markets are fully
as high as the local one.
