the surplus. The quotations are: Choice
bennery and nearby, 22G23c; eastern

The local fruit and vegetable market
has been only fairly active. There
have been good many changes in
Irices. but in practically all cases they
were toward higher level. String
beans, cucumbers and onions have
worked lower, but other kinds of vege-
tables have either held at the quota
tons Of week ago or moved upward.
There Is hardly any fruit that is not
higher than week ago.
There has been a very brisk trade
in apples, and in the lack OF large re-
ceipts prices have been strong. with a
marked upward tendency. Cranber-
res have grown very scarce, and bring
as much as $14 barrel as against Slo
the high mark Of week ago.
Considerable Improvement Is noted in
potatoes. Receipts have been lighter
and the demand better, and prices have
worked up several cents a bushel.
Sweet potatoes are unchanged. with the
supply and the demand about equal.
Asparagus has been scarce. The de-
mand for 1t is active, and il the aspara-
gus were here dealers could readily Sc
cure high prices. String beans have
gone down little. but they are still
rather high. New cabbages are scarce
ard high, and old stock sells higher tina n
ii did recently. Beet greens are lower.
