The chief feature in the local fruit
and vegetable market has been a re.
newal Of the pressure TO clean up ap
pies. Stra wberries have been so
plenty and cheap lately that the retail
ers have shown little interest in apples.
and the arrival Of other SEASONAL
fruits are disconcerting the whole
saers who are carrying heavy stocks
Of apples.
Except for apples, the market Is sat
isfactory. Stuff is still coming freely
from all sections, the quality is good,
prices are moderate and business Is
seasonaby active. Very few Gran
berries are left in the market and deal.
ers are pretty well rid Of Almeria
grapes.

most kinds OF garden truck and prices
are easy. Fancy lettuce is little
scarce, but other dollhouse products,
especially cucumbers. are very pleni-
1 full. There are more string beans In
the market and prices are lower than
at any time before this season. The
receipts of southern cabbages are in
crcasing and spinach and kale are in
good supply. Native onions are scarce
and firm.
