The local fruit and vegetable market
has been quiet but there have been
some interesting features. The situa-
tlon in apples has improved material
ly. The receipts have fallen off consld-
ably, and, as the demand has been
livelier, Il slight advance has been es-
tablished in several kinds. There Is n
better market for cranhei-ries: also the
cold weather has kept down the snip
ments sufficiently to permit dealers TO
work off good deal Of the recent ac-
emulation
Almost the only kind of grapes now
in the market are almerias; what Is be
lievcd to be the last car of California
grapes for this season reached the
local market and each day the arrivals
OF basket stock diminish Almerias go
very well. The supply Of pears Is
pretty we'll exhausted and 1t is be
leved that another week will see the
end of them for this season.
White potatoes are firm. There Is no
increase in the supply of good stock and
the accumulation Of ordinary lots has
been materially reduced. An advance
is not unlikely unless there should be a
big increase In the receipts. Sweet po-
tatocs are off little from their recent
high level. but the supply is not murl
in excess Of wants and the market can
not be said to be weak. string beans
remain high and firm. but drumhead
cabbages. white celery and rucumhr:s
are easy. Onions are steady ana
squashes and spinach are very firm.
Beets and white tIru,ps are higher, but
lettuce, tomatoes, egSp.ant' and pep
pers arc on lower levels. taul. flowers
take wide range, prices depending on
size and quality.
