1t has been quiet and rather unin-
teresting week in the local fruit and
vegetable market. There is good de-
mand for potatoes and, as there have
been none too many on baud, prices
have gone up about 10 cents bushel.
Spinach and kale sell well, but other
kinds of garden truck are dull. Cu-
cumbers are particularly quiet, IN spite
of the very low prices at which they are
offered. Fancy No. l stock IS quoted
at $IqlS IA box; ut this time last year it
was bringing about double that price.
The apple market is not really ac-
tive, but the buying has been better
than it was few weeks ago, as the
foreign markets have turned str, niger,
dealers expecting further improve
ment. II the tirmer tendency abroad
continues, it is believed that much of
the surplus of ordinary fruit in this city
and in New York can be disposed OF.
Prices generally are steady in this
city, but in some eases it has been nee
essary to cut them in order to make
sales.
There are only moderate offerings of
sweet potatoes, but the demand also is
small and prices are steady. String
beans are scarce and higher. Cabbages
hold steady. Celery is tirmer and let
tuce has gone up little. The receipts
of squashes do not increase enough to
bring about lower prices. CaulifiOwers
are firm. Onions are dull and barely
steady. Very few tomatoes are wanted
Turn, IS are unchanged.
