the receipts Of fresh gathered. Choice

The dullness of the past two or three
weeks in the local fruit and vegetable
market Is as marked as ever, and con.
dltions, generally, have seldom been so
unsatisfactory as they are at present.
Trading is usually rather quiet at this
time of the year, when the season at
summer resorts is closing, and when
people are only just getting back to
town, but prices are so high this year
that 1t is doubtful II sales are more
than hall as large as they were last
year at this time. The demand Is un.
usually small and prices are so high
that dealers have only small profit.
There is good, strong market for
fancy apples, but ordinary lots move
slowly and at low prices. Blue.
berries are not plenty. and choice, dry
berries sell readily at good prices. Can.
taloupes are plenty and easy in the
lack Of brisk demand. The cranberry
season is hardly under way yet, and
sales do not amount to much
White potatoes are steady, but sweet
potatoes are weak. Supplies Of the lat
ter are steadily increasing, and though
the demand has been fairly good, it
has not been sufficient to hold prices
up. String beans. cabbages and celery
are firm. and onions and tomatoes have
gone higher. Squashes are in fairly
good demand and steady. Turnlps have
dropped little under increased re-
ceipts. Beets, carrots and green corn
bring slightly moro than they have
| brought recently, but radishes, rhubarb
and spinach are cheaper
