Local fruit and produce dealers still
complain of 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 fair movement OF
apples, but the demand has not been
sharp. Prices hold steady as a whole,
but slight advance has been made i'll
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

choice. The call is small. Grapes are
gradually working out of the market.
Potatoes have ruled pretty quiet, but

and turnips do not change much. Hot.
house tomatoes are cheaper. Beets,
carrots and parsnips have dropped a lit
tie. Rhubarb is lower.
