The past week in the local fruit and
vegetable market has been quite as dull
as the two that preceded it. A few
houses have done a little better, but
they are exceptions. The demand has
been lacking in snap as much as at any
time since the holiday buying ceased.
The few changes in prices are small
and unimpOrtant.
The demand for apples has been slow
again There have been some sales,
but the buying has not been at all sharp.
Many receivers, instead of trying to
find a local outlet for their goods. have
taken advantage Of the high prices rul-
ing abroad and exported them; the re-
suit is unusually large shipments for
this time of the year. Prices are steady
and well maintained. Only a very
fancy lot Will bring full quotations, and
efforts on the part Of dealers to get a
slight premium on some pretty good
apples have not been successful.
a little more interest has been shown
in potatoes, and prices are a shade firm
err There is a full supply of sweet DO
tatoes, and as the wants of the trade
are very light, they have to go very
cheap. Cabbages are plenty and,
| though not in active request, are
steady. Spinach and kale from the
| south have held up well under small
receipts. Onions are dull and rather
easy. Fancy squashes are firm and the
best lots of string beans move readily
at full quotations. Turnips are steady.
Cucumbers still command high prices.
Celery and lettuce are unchanged.
