Deciduous and Citrus Fruits

The situation in fresh fruits is most un-
satisfactory to the selling interests. as the
market has settled into rut and values for
everything the list rather weak than
otherwise. Grapes. orchard fruits and citrus
goods all In free supply, and local trades
men rarely take any more of anything than
Is absolutely necessary TO tide them over for
day. General offerings of navel oranges rarely
bring than 81 80 box. though well col
ored stock sells in a small way up to So.
and one well known brand of fancy fruit is
held at 81. Grapefruit brings good figures
when sales made, while tangernes ind-
ing but little favor with buyers. Fancy New
town pippins and Spitzenberg apples in four
tier boxes are selling at S1Uls 10, and similarly
packed lots of the best beIInowers are beld at
75MS5c. while five tier ,.sckages of choice to
fancy fruit sell slowly al irregular and low
prices. Persimmons. ounces and pears are NOV
ing very slowly and very little attention Is
paid TO cranberries at the moment. Strawberries
show effects of rain and frost and sell irregu-
lar prices. while what few raspberries ar
grapes continue light, but are more than s,lf-
feent for local wants. and only shipping
days does the market for them show any firm
ness
