CLEANUP OF MARKET
MAKES LEMONS SCARCE
FIRMNESS PREVAILS ON STREET
AND EXCHANGE
Sweet Potatoes Are Weak--Berries,
Peaches, Pears and cantaloupes
Decline = First Winter
Casabas Arrive

The market for lemons is cleaning up,
there being but little fancy stock hand.
The best grade Of lemons was in demand
yesterday. The cool weather has reduced
consumption but the market still feels the
effects of the hot wave 1t will be several
weeks yet before the new crop begins to
reach market and the lateness OF the OH
season has seen the present supply almost
depleted. Lemons were bid for on the pro-
duce exchange but the offering was too high.
1t was made at the prevailing quotation OF
$500.
Sweet potatoes were weak, large offerings
going without bid.
Butter was firm at the advanced quota
tions of Tuesday. There were plenty OF an
kinds of fish on hand. The first large snip
ment of Holsters of the season arrived anu
met with good market.
Raspberries declined to 1oc box Peaches
were down to 90c and pears to Ibcg$ $4.oo:
Strawberries declined to 447c a box ana
cantaloupes to s1.75 crate. Winter casapa
melons made their first appearance yester-
day, selling at 81 crate.
