The Improvement in business in the
local fruit and vegetable market noted
a week ago has not been maintained.
Dealings have again dropped to very
light proportions.
Supplies in most things are quite
large enough for the demand, though
there is a scarcity of tomatoes, cucum-
bers, peppers and string beans. Those
products are high, but other COM
modities are as reasonable as they ever
are at this time of the year. The STU
alton in domestic onions shows no i'm
provement. The market is still over
stocked with poor and ordinary lots,
which are not wanted and have to be
forced out at very low figures.
1t has been hard market to sell ap-
pies in, but since arrivals have not
been large, prices have been we'll main
tanned. Ben Davis take wider range
than they did, but other kinds hold
steady. 1t is said that the distributing
trade is carrying only small supplies of
apples and receivers are looking for
larger purchases during the next two
weeks. Late adyices from foreign
markets are that prices are higher.
The market is well supplied with
cabbages, but they do not change
much; the demand is not active. Spin
ach has brought better prices but other
kinds of greens have gone somewhat
cheaper than they did a week ago.
Squashes, celery and turnips have ruled
steady Elephants are in light supply
and firmer Foreign onions are very
firm. Potatoes have been plenty, dull
and easy. Sweet potatoes in baskets
have had a pretty good sale, but barrel
stock has been hard to place.
