The week has been the quietest one in
n long time in the local fruit and vege-
table market. Bananas. onions and
asparagus have sold we'll but almost
everything else has been very dull.
Trading in apples has been very
slow and though prices are not ma
terally lower, the market is not nearly
as strong as it has been. Prices have
rot dropped much because fresh ar.
rivals have been light and the cold stor-
age holdings are small
There Is a quick market for fancy
stra wberries. The North Carolina Der.
rieS recently have been the best Of
the season, and those shipped by ex-
press from Norfolk have been very
good, but those which came by boat
from Norfolk have been rather poor.
Potatoes have turned downward un-
der heavy arrivals and a slow demand.
Supplies are accommodating at the roads
and unless the demand improves. the
market is very likely to 60 lower There
is good firm market for fancy sweet
potatoes. Asparagus has been in good
request String beans are plenty but
Of poor quality and they go slowly;
there are always customers for the few
fancy lots. Old cabbages arc out Of
the market and new southern stock is
scarce and high. Cucumhers are easier.

plenty and reasonable Lettuce il firm
