The fruit and vegetable market is
well supplied, prices are moderate and
the buying is better than it has been
at any other time this year. Garden
truck from the south is plenty and
there is a steadily increasing quantity
OF local greenhouse products.
Strawberries are easier and, unless
there is some unfavorable weather in
the south, will probably be cheap from
now on. The market for apples has
improved a little. The receipts are
much lighter than they have been, and
dealers have been able to reduce the
accumulatiOns of ordinary fruit. But
the market is not yet in shape to receive
much Of the fruit that is said to remain
In the interior; large receipts would
probably undo the little improvement
that has been made
Potatoes are firm and tending high
er. The receipts have been very light
and receivers have been able to wipe
out the recent oversupply. Distribu-
tiers are said to be very lightly stocked
with potatoes, and as receipts will
probably continue small, any increase
in the demand is likely to send prices
higher. Asparagus is coming along
freely and sells at reasonable prices.
Cabbages are none too plenty, and there
is firmer and more active market for
cucumbers. Onions are plenty and
weak. Good tomatoes are rather
scarce although the receipts are large.
Root stock does not change much, eX
cept that new bunch beets are plenty
and cheap.
