A sharp rise in potatoes was the
chief feature in the local fruit and pro-
duce market. Light receipts and a
sharp demand caused an advance of al
most 25c q bushel in Green mountains,
and more than zoe in Hebrons and rose.
The business generally has been
very good. The movement of apples
has not been especially brisk, but it
never is when the weather is as mild
as it has been during the past week.
The past month has been pretty cool.
on the whole, and receivers have re-
duced their stocks very much; receipts
are decreasing all the time and though
most of the sales have been of 5 to 10
barrel lots, prices are firmly main
tained. Tolman sweets are hardly
worth quoting; none are arriving, and
but few are to be had. For the general
run of northern spies S4@5 a barrel is a
fair quotation. but dealers have Sc
cured as much as 1928 for a very fancy
lot. Shipments of apples abroad are
growing smaller every week, and it
| will not be long before they cease for
this season.
Prices of vegetables have been IN
even. Old beets. cabbages, carrots, tur-
nips and parsnips have shown an ad-
vancing tendency. Not many fresh
spring vegetables have come to the
market, and the products Of last season
are pretty well cleaned up. CabbagHs,
both new and old, are scarce and hiel-
er. Turnips bring better prices, be-
cause they are not very plenty. Gu
cumbers have dropped a little further,
and string and butter beans are not as
high as they were.
Boston market celery is scarce arf
high, but California lots are fairly
plenty and a little cheaper than they
were a week ago. Spinach is plenty
and lower. though in steady -deman'.
Receipts of kaIe are rather light and i
is firmer. Beet green's have dropped
but dandelions are higher. Domesti'
onions continue plenty, with the de
mand light except for choice sount
lots. Bermudas nave appeared in thu
market and are quoted at So a crate
