1t has been dull and featureless in
the local fruit and vegetable market.
The demand is always light just after
Thank giving, but this year the dull
ness mas been rather more pronounced
than usual. Supplies, particularly of
| garden truck, are sufficient for the de-
mand, but prices as whole are firm.
The apple market is improving. Re
ceiptS have not only been smaller, but
also of better quality. The recent I'M
satisfactory conditions were due in a
large measure to an oyer-SuppIy Of com
mon fruit, but that surplus has been
used up and the market is in better
| shape than ii has been before in sew
| eral weeks. An acCLye demand and
higher prices are looked for during the
next few weeks. Cranberries have
moved slowly, but receipts have not
been large and they hold up well.
Grapes have not gone very we'll The
domestic stock will not last much
longer. The usual call for pears from
other markets is lacking this year.
Potatoes were dull and easy, but the
demand improved a little and though
prices did not advance, steadler feel
ing is apparent Receipts of string
beans are light and fancy lots bring
high prices. CabbageS are much
scarcer and a slight advance has been
established. Choice sound onions are
i'll steady demand and firm. Squashes
are tirmer. Lettuce and celery do not
change much. Cucumbers are quiet,
but fancy lots are high. Turnips con-
tinue plenty and cheap.
