Apples have lately grown little more
active, and though prices are not great
~ changed, they are distinctly frmer
than they have been. All grades Of APP
pies have been bought, and as tho re-
ceipts are not large, better market is
looked for. Strawberries are coming
along we'll, but the quality is irregular
and they take a wide range: the de-
mand, particularly for the best lots, Is
good.
Potatoes do not improve; receipts
have continued large, and as the de-
msnd Is light, prices remain easy. The
supply OF sweet potatoes about equals
the demand and they do not change
much. Asparagus is rather scarce, ow-
ing to the bad weather, and prices are
