The local fruit and vegetable market
is fairly active and generally firm. APP

mand still runs almost entirely to fancy
fruit. Prices are firm and in some IN

little more

plenty and as the quality has been Or
binary, most sales have been at low
prices Peppers and elephants are
somewhat cheaper than they were, but
caulifowers and cucumbers are flrmer.
