Dealings in fruit and vegetables have
been satisfactory in the local market
The demand generally has been good
and well distributed. The cool wealth
or has kept down the receipts of aspara.
gus and cabbaGeS are scarce. but there
seems TO he enough of everything else
To go around.
Although apples are dull. prices are
/ fairly firm because receipts have been
small. but sales at the outsid quota
tons are infrcQueut. Other fruits are
so plenty aud return 50 much more
profit that most OF the retailers are ne
glecting apples. wberries were
very plenty and sold as low as 4c a
quart, but arrivals lately have been
fewer and the price has gone up. The
proportion Of fancy lots is still very
small ana such berries command a
large premium. \ few conSignments
have been received from Maryland. but
most of them are still from North Caro-
lima and Norfolk.
Potatoes are quiet. cid stock has not
been coming forward very fast. but I'M
der slow demand they have accumu-
lated
Native onions arc practically out of
the marke,, hut there are large supplies
of other kinds: the inquiry is not brisk
and prices lean in the buyers favor
String beans are quite plenty but there
are few lots that are really fancy and
most sales are below quotations, which
are for the best Lettuce, rhubarb and
tomatoes are all cheaper than they
were week ago. Turnips are moder-
ately active and steady. Radishes have
moved up. and new bunch beets are
held ar almost prohbitive prices.
