The backwardness OF the season has
Kept down business in the local fruit
and vegetable market. The supplies
are small and prices are much high En-
than they usually are at this time Of the
year.
Apples continue quiet. but receipts
are constantly diminishing. supplies re
small and prices have Il hardening ten
dency. Strawberries are plenty and
cheap
Receipts Of old potatoes have been
heavy and as the demand has not been
brisk, prices are barely firm. New po-
tatoes are scarce and very firm. There
are but few sweet potatoes in the mar
ket' but the demand is light. Receipts
OF asparagus have fallen off materially
and prices have gone up. String beans
are still scarce and high. Hothouse
cuc'lmbers are firm. but ca bbages have
grown fairly reasonable. Spinach and
kale are cheap. but dandellons and beet
green's are high. Lettuce has had
quite an advnce. and onions and toma-
toes are firmer. Texas and Bermuda
onions are not plenty, and the call for
Egyptians is so brisk that they are
strong in spite of large supplies. There
Is little call for summer squashes, and
they are easy. Turnps are steady.
Elephants and peppers ara in light sup
ply and firm. Southern peas range
from $1.50 TO So n basket. but most
sales are at the lower quota ton because
most Of the peas are poor.
