fruit. Prices are firm and IN some IN
stances higher. Cranberres are mod
erately active and steady. Receipts OF
stra wberries are larger The best lots
have a fairly good sale at about SOC
and some extra fancy berries bring
little more.
Potatoes are plenty and the demand
Is quiet. Many lots show the effects or
the frost: sound stock is steady. Ike
ceipts of sweet potatoes are not large
but they are sufficient for the demand
and prices rather favor the buyer.
String beans are. more plenty than they
were and. compared with the prices or
fortnight ago. current quotations are
low. Cabbages are fairly plenty, but
steady under good demand. Celery
Is in light supply, high and firm. Let
tuce has dropped little, but onions
suuashes and tomatoes hold up well.

finds Il ready sale. Spinach mas beeh
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 tirmer.
