Local fruit and produce dealers still
complain of a dull and lifeless trade.
The demand has been Of hand-to-
mouth order and hardly anything can
be said to have had brisk SALE Of
ferings do not lack in variety. The
products of the dollhouse and of the
south are coming forward in good
shape. Rhubarb and dandelions from
the dollhouse are now in the market
There has been a fair movement Of
apples, but the demand has not been
sharp. Prices hold steady as whole,
but Slight advance has been made in
the better grades of Baldwins, and
greetings have gone somewhat higher.
For fancy Baldwins 81 has been real
lied several times. An occasional sale
Of greetings has been made at the same
quotation, but $3.50 is the more general
price. The export demand for apples
is smaller and shipments from now on
will probably be light
Only small lots of cranberries are
coming and very few Of these grade
choice The call is small, Grapes are
gradually working out of the market
Potatoes have ruled pretty quiet, but
have held up well. Sweets are in light
supply and firm. Offerings of string
beans are very small and full quotations
are readily realized on fancy lots. Cab
bages are in good supply and moder-
ately active, with most sales below the
top price. Celery is firmer. Kale is
steady and choice spinach is firm. Beet
green's and dandelions are somewhat
easier than they were. Lettuce takes
a wide range. Onions are steady, with
Cuban stock tending higher. Squashes
and turnips do not change much. Hot
house tomatoes are cheaper. Beets,
carrots and parsnips have dropped lit
tie. Rhubarb is lower.
