The past week as a whole has been
a good one n the local fruit and vege-
table market. Prices luctuated a good
deal during the rush Of Thanksgiving
buying. but they later settled.
Sweet potatoes brought high prices
for the holiday and have not yet gone
of much. The supply was very small.
there was a big call for them and vine
lands sold a. high as 81 barrel
Grapes were cheaper this year than
usual. and they had a lively sale. An
other feature Of the week was an i'm
proved market for cranberries and ap-
pies. The receipts Of both have been
lighter. and rs the demand has in
creased a little. "a steadier feeling has
developed. Fancy cranberries are now
quite firm. and apples are strong.
Grapes do not change much Calf
fornia Muscats and Malagas have gone
for the season, and the arrivals Of bas-
ket grapes are constantly growing
smaller. Pears are pretty well cleaned
up; the few that remain are steady.
There Is rather weak market for
the general run Of white potatoes.
Really fancy stock readily brings 20
cents, but most Of the business has been
below that quotation. Good string
beans are firm. and onions and squash
es seem more likely to go up than down
Cabbages and celery do not change
much, but cucumbers have taken an
easier turn. Lettuce has gone up a lit
tie. and dollhouse parsley brings high
prices. Beets and radishes are higher,
and turnips ana tomatoes are steady.
Fancy spinach is wanted.
