Business is steadily increasing in the
local fruit and vegetable market, but
the supply is keeping pace with, if not
actually exceeding, the demand, and
the general trend of prices is still down
ward. All kinds of garden and farm
truck, with the exception of tomatoes,
string beans and asparagus, are album
liant, and these will soon be plenty. Sea-
sonable fruits are in good supply and
the variety has been increased lately by
the arrival of cantaloupes from Florida
and cherries from California. Both are
good, but are little high.
Fruits and vegetables are making
good progress practically everywhere
and many will be as early this year as
they were late last year. Watermelons
are already here. 1t was the middle of
June before any were received here last
year. The crop is not only early, but
gives indication of being large. Adj
vices from the Pacific coast are still
favorable. There is now little danger
Of frosts anywhere and the outlook for
large supplies and low prices this sum-
mer is bright.
Strawberries have been very plenty
so poor that they could not be used even
by syrup manufacturers and had to be
practically given away. The album
dance of berries has kept down the sale
of apples, but the latter are steady. The
receipts of apples are steadily decreas-
ing but stocks in cold storage are rather
heavy for this time of the year.
Cabbages, cucumbers, spinach, dan
delions and rhubarb are plenty and
cheap. Receipts of lettuce are increas-
ing, and is is going lower. All kinds of
new root stock are offered at reason
able prices. Southern marrow squashes
