The local fruit and vegetable market
Is well stocked, and as trading is not
very active prices are moderately low.
All kinds of truck, except cabbages,
are plenty and cucumbers ana brussels
sprouts are really abundant.
Cranberries are coming forward very
slowly and prices have shot up sharp
ly. The barrel quotation has gone

is predicted that the Christmas cram
berries will stand retailers 500 barrel.
The market is poorly supplied with
apples also. and as the demand is good
prices are higher and strong and likely
to go even higher. Country stocks are
hot large, as the crop of winter apples
was rather light. Shipments across
the water have been small lately, and
as a result the foreign markets are
higher and strong; it is said that APP

shippers 81 a barrel. Country holders
Of apples, therefore, are not inclined
to send many to domestic markets.
Potatoes are taking on a stronger
tone and higher prices are predicted.
The shipments lately have been small
and receivers have been able to re-
duce the accumulation that resulted
from the large receipts and slow de
mand during Thanksgiving week. Re

better sale and in consequence are
firmer.
