Business continues very light in the
local fruit and vegetable market, but
as stocks are small, prices hold up well.
There is never q time when really fan
cy apples cannot be sold, and they have
sold well during the past week. Me-
dunn and low grade apples, however
have been a drug on the market, and
dealers have been obliged to cut quo
tations 25c a barrel. and in some cases
soc. Cranberries seem likely to grow
more active now that poultry is reason
able. Grapes will probably be scarce
and high for Thanksgiving; the grapes
now on the vines have been hurt by
the frost and receipts will probably
| diminish as soon as the fruit that has
already been picked has been shipped.
| The offerings of pears are almost en-
| tirely anjous and bosses; Bartletts,
| Sheldons and seckels are practically
| out of the market.
| There is a good, firm market for
sound sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes
are not active, but there is enough de-
| mand to absorb about all that are re-
ceived. Fancy cucumbers bring big
| prices, but ordinary lots go at easy
| prices. Southern string beans are
somewhat cheaper than they have been.
| Cabbages, celery, onions, squashes and
| turnips are steady. Radishes and
spinach have gone up.
