The wholesale apple market has been
almost demoralized. For ,Ong time
local dealers have had on hand more
apples than they needed and they have
tried hard to sell them, but their hold
ings have not decreased much. In the
past few days they have made sharp
cut in prices; this has increased the
demand somewhat, but the shipments
from the country have been coming in
steadily and the local supply is still as
large as ever and dealers are willing to
accept the best price offered. The out
look is not very encouraging. The APP
pie season will last until about the mid.
die of June and there will be great
rush to sell for fear that the fruit will
not be good as late as that; consequently
higher prices seem unlikely.
Except for apples the local fruit and
vegetable market is in fairly good
shape. The demand for vegetables is
gradually expanding with the approach
of spring. Fruits have been a shade
quieter, but they are far from dull.
Cranberries are gradually working out,
although there is plenty of ordinary
stock; good berries sell readily at S11M
IL a barrel and So. 75M4 a crate, but
there is no demand to speak of for poor
lots. Receipts of Strawberries have in
creased Il little, but they are not plenty
enough to bring about much lower
prices.
The market has been quite well sup
piled with southern and greenhouse
truck. String beans alone are really
scarce, but it is a little early for a large
supply. Cabbages are very plentiful
and cheap. Celery is not very plenty
and pI .ces are rather stiff, but cucum.
bers are in good supply and easy. The
market is overstocked with kale, but
spinach and other greens are well clean
ed up. Spinach is of good quality. On
ions are weaker, but no lower than
they have been. White turnips are a
bit easier, but yellow ones are firmer.
Rhubarb is getting more plenty. Pota-
toes do not change much; the arrivals
are rather small, but quite sufficient
for wants. Primary markets are firm,
