The local fruit and vegetable market
has been rather quiet, but fairly good
business has been done. The demand
for garden and farm truck is almost
entirely from local sources, as out of
town retailers are much nearer a base
of supplies than Boston. The move
ment OF fruits has been lighter, be-
cause many that usually sell we'll at
this time of the year are high. Basket
grapes have been scarce and high.
Receipts of apples have been rather
heavy, and, in the lack of brisk de-
mand, slightly easier feeling has de-
yeloped. Really fancy fruit is firm
enough, but other kinds have sold near
er the inside than the OUTSIDE quota
tons. Cranberries are quieter, and, as
the receipts have been larger, they have
dropped a little; a good many of the
recent arrivals have shown the effects
of frost and have to be sold quickly to
prevent spelling Peaches sell poorly
and pears are too high to attract buy
ers. Eating plums have passed out of
the market. There is not much demand
yet for ounces.
White potatoes are dull and rather
easy. Receipts are large, prices are
lower in the country and buyers are
holding off for a decline here. Sweet
potatoes drag, and but few sales are
made at the top quotations. Native
string beans have pretty nearly run
their course for this year, but southern
beans are coming in freely. Cucum-
bers are higher and firm. Cabbages,
celery and lettuce are steady, but onions
and squashes are a shade easier. To-
matoes and turnips are unchanged.
Elephants and peppers are higher.
Spinach is lower.
