Business in the local fruit and vege-
table market holds pretty well up to
the average Of the past few weeks anu
is as large as it ever is mt this time Of
the year. Prices are irregular, but the
tone Of the market generally is firm.
The demand for garden truck is well
distributed. but only few fruits are
active
Apples still have a good sale, and as
supplies are not large prices are firm.
| Catalogues are practically out of the
market for the year The few here are
high and sell rather slowly. Cranber-
res are coming along somewhat more
| freely. but are still somewhat scarce
and higher. Basket grapes of all kinds
are scarce, and some now bring as
much at wholesale as they retailed for
a short time ago. Peaches are quiet,
and pears are too high to be popular.
Potatoes are coming along freely, but
the demand is fairly active and they
hold steady. All kinds of beans are
rather scarce and higher. and celery,
cucumbers and tomatoes have gone up
since a week ago. Cabbages are plenty
and easy, and onions, beets, carrots,
parsnips and caulfiowers are more rea-
sonable than they have been. Turnips
are steady and squashes hold up well.
