The local fruit and vegetable market
gave indications of extending the i'm
provement Of the week before, but
complaints Of an unsatisfactory bust
ness are heard. Prices are not greatly
changed from those Of a week ago, but
the tone of the market Is easier.
ConsiRnments Of apples have not
been heavy. Gravensteins md other
fancy red varieties, as we'll as choice
hard cooking sorts. have been in good
request at well-sustained prices.
Cantaloupes have gone down under
large offerings and a rather slack de-
mand. Only n fair call has been noted
for cranberries.
Peaches have been fairly plenty, in
good request. but have dropped n little.
Pears have done n little better than
recently. Plums have advanced n little.
The market for white potatoes Is
weak under rather heavy receipts and
n quiet demand. Sweet potatoes also
are easy, with offerings large and no;
much snap to the inquiry. The mar
ket Is nbundantly supplied with every
thing In the line Of native green garden
and farm truck. with the possible ex-
ceptiOn Of cucumbers. and prices are
low and easy. Receipts of onions are
heavy and since most of the arrivals
are of small size and poor quality most
sales are Mt very low figures.
