Trading in fruits and vegetables has
been irregular in the local market. III
is almost always dull at this time of the
year. Prices average about as usual
and in some cases are cheaper.
Apples have dragged, but the arrivals
have been light and prices have held
up well. Fancy cranberries are in de-
mand and firm. but there is practically
no market for the ordinary berries.
The season on pears and domestic
grapes is pretty nearly at an end. Cali
fornia grapes are no longer quoted and
the receipts of basket fruit are small
and scattering.
White potatoes continue firm; the ar
rivals are not heavy, the quality of the
stock particularly that from Maine, is
good. and there is fairly active de-
mand. Sweet potatoes hold up well, be-
cause they are not very plenty. String
| beans are high and dull. Cabbages are
| foh nd
bers are easier; the west is raising its
| own cucumbers this year, and it is not
easy to maintain prices in the local mar
| ket Lettuce. onions, squashes and
| turn:ps are steady. Southern spinach.
| brussels sprouts and dollhouse toma-
toes are easy. Radishes are scarce and
| high.
