There has been a sensonable demand
for fruits and vegetables in the local
market, but in this particular instance
"seasona BILE" does not imply activity.
The market at its best has been only
moderately active, and on some days
has been really dull. One or two things
have worked down a little, but prices
as q rule are still quite firm.
The sales of apples have been fairly
large, but the demand has not been
very sharp. and only really fancy fruit
has brought full quotations. Gran
berries do not sell very fast extra
choice lots have a moderate sale, but
the poorer offerings are very hard to
place. Some retailers have already
dropped cranberries for this season.
The market is well supplied with
white potatoes. and the demand Is
rather quiet. but prices are fairly well
sustained. Neither the supply nor the
demand for sweet potatoes are large.
Cabbages have stffened up Il little, but
cucumbcrs have dropped String beans
are trife cheaper than they were.
Celery Is firm, and all kinds Of greens
except beet green's bring good prices.
Lettuce and parsley are rather easy, but
choice sound onions. squashes. toma-
toes and turnps are firm. Parsnips
have advanced little.
