Business has not been real brisk in
the local fruit and vegetable market,
but ii has been much better than it was
recently. The Improvement has been
particularly noticeable in garden truck,
which, under the impetus of improved

coming along quite freely. Blackber-
ries have appeared in the market and
meet with a fairly good demand.
