The local fruit and vegetable mar
ket has not shown much life, still for
the time Of the year dealings are Of
quite satisfactory volume. With most
O. their customers away on vacations,
the takings by the local distributing
trade have naturally been much
smaller than they were. The fact &C.
counts largely for the falling off in ac-
tivity. From the beaches and sum-
good.
Receipts of apples are increasing, but
good prices are still obtained for choice
large fruit. Blackberries have been in
good supply, and it took the best lots
to fetch full quotations. Blueberries
are abundant, lower and easy. Straw
berries are practically out of the mar
ket for this season, and raspberries will
soon follow. Choice sound peaches
have gone we'll and at good prices, but
there have been a good many arrivals
| that were so poor that receivers had
| to let them go for what they could get
for them. Offerings of pears are larger
| and they are lower. Like peaches,
| good many lots arrived in poor order
and had to be forced off at the expense
| of values. A few grapes have arrived
/ here. from North. Carolina, but they
! are too dear to move with any freedom.
The market is well supplied with po-
tatoes, but there is fairly good call for
them and they are steady. Sweet po-
tatoes are quiet and easy, except when
choice, clean and of good size. Cab
bages continue abundant and cheap.
Green corn is somewhat cheaper ana
going well. There is a good market
for fancy string and butter beans, but
present offerings include many in
ferior Lots Onions are in rather light
supply, in steady demand and firm
Elephants, squashes, peppers and peas
all are plenty and cheap. Tomatoes
: have dropped and there is an easier
market on turnips. Cucumbers are
higher.
