The chief feature in the local fruit
and vegetable market has been a re-
neWal of the pressure to clean up APP
pies. Strawberries have been so
plenty and cheap lately that the retail
ers have shown little interest in apples.
and the arrival of other seasonal BILE
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,
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.
