Business ia fruits and vegetables does
not improve much. Local retailers find
that the high prices which they have
had TO ask for goods during the past
three or four weeks are restricting
consumption: consequently, their pur-
chases are light. Labor day is the real
end Of the season at mountain and sea
shore resorts and the demand from
these sources for fruits and vegetables
has lately begun to diminish. This fall
ing off and Increased receipts have
caused somewhat lower prices in a few
cases. but the general average is con
siderably above that Of other years
at this season.
California grapes cost retailers al
most a. much as the grapes usually sell
fer. and pears and peaches are very
high. There is Il good. firm market for
fancy apples. but ordinary stock is dull.

signmentS from Maine, but New Jer-
sey is still the chief source of supply.
Sweet potatoes are in active demand,
and the price holds UP in spite of rather
large receipts. String beans are not
as plenty as they have been, and, I'M
der fair good demand. have gone
higher. Shell beans have had a sharp

but tomatoes are in large supply and
lower. Turnips are firm, and the few
green peas that remain are held at
rather stiff prices.
