Deciduous and Citrus Fruits

Business In fresh fruits was OF a sluggish
hand to mouth character. the murky weather
having tendency TO check sales and the
general tone of the market was one OF easiness
although dealers were holding out for stin prices
on fne apples and table grapes The feature OF
the apple market the arrival Of straight
ear of Ben Davis and mixed car Of Spitzen-
bergs and Ben Davis from Oregon The fruit
was packed in tier boxes and was held at
S161 .25 for the Ben Davis and $1.5O61.75 for
the Spitzenbergs. The highest price asked for
any California stock $1-25. The supply
of grapes was light but sufficient for market
needs and there was very little call for figs
or late tree fruits. There were few buyers for
late red pluns. and prices for them were too
irregular TO quote Berries were barely steady
with buyers rarely taking than two or
three drawers at q time. In the citus depart
ment Valencia oranges were scarce and firmly
held and there was a good sale for seedless
oranges were easy TO weak with sales slow
owing to the greenness OF the fruit.
