The chief feature in the local fruit
and vegetable market has been re.
newal of the pressure to clean up ap.
Piles. Strawberries have been Sc
plenty and cheap lately that the retail
ers have shown little interest in apples
and the arrival of other seasonable
fruits are disconcerting the whole
salers who are carrying heavy stocks,
of apples.
Except for apples, the market is sat
isfactory. Stuff is still coming freely
from all sections, the quality is good,
prices are moderate and business is
seasonably active. Very few cram
berries are left in the market and deal
ers are pretty well rid of Almeria
grapes.
The market is well supplied with
most kinds of garden truck and prices
are easy. Fancy lettuce is a little
scarce, but other dollhouse products,
especially cucumbers, are very plenti-
full. There are more string beans in
the market and prices are lower than
at any time before this season. The
receipts of southern cabbages are in
creasing and spinach and kale are in
good supply. Native onions are scarce
and firm.

There is no change to note in the

Fresh beef prices have been ad
need 3-4c, though shippers have not
t been able to get lie, which they an
unced some time ago as the price nee
sary to give them fair profit. Trade
slow, and neither the retailers nor

higher prices. There is very quiet
