Cantaloupes and all kinds of small
fruit have been scarce and high in the
local market. but those conditions
seem not to have restricted the demand
and business IN that part Of the market
as a whole has been as good as it
usually is at this time of the year. The
mountain and seashore resorts are the
main outlet for fruits ut this season.
Supplies Of vegetables are seasOnably
large. prices are reasonable and the
demand. though largely local, is very
good.
There is Il good demand for apples.
but not many are coming along and
prices are rather high. Supplies of ber-
rieS have been so light that they have
cleaned up quickly. The demand for
cantalouptS is remarkably good in view
. Of the generally poor quality and high
prices of The offerings. There are hard
~ enough grapes ON hand to make a
market. Peaches have been closely
sod Ea at ali times. The arrivals of
pears iave not amounted to much, and
it has not AIKEN much demand to send
them higher Plums and watermelOnS
sell stead ~. but Go not change much
in price.
There is Il good firm market for po-
tatOes. both white and sweet String
beans continue plenty and cheap, and
tomatoes have had a sharp drop under
heavy receipts. Cabbages are very
firm, but onions have weakened a lit
tie. CucumberS take wide range.
Green corn continues to grow plentier
and cheaper. Native celery has ap-
peared in the market and sells at 81 %
also box. Squashes are IN good sup
ply and easy. TurnipS and beets are
steady. bur new carrots have dropped
