The local fruit and vegetable market
is fairly active. The apple market has
not improved much. The receipts are
perhaps little smaller than they have
been,. but supplies are very large and
prices favor the buyer. Apples are so
cheap that they are used instead OF
cranberries for sauce. Strawberries
have been coming along freely. Many
of them have been poor and soft and the
few good ones have brought good
prices. Poor berries have sold as low
as 1Oc a quart
The market is we'll supplied with
southern and greenhouse truck, and
prices generally are lower than they
have been. Some of the shipments,
especially notable spinach and string
beans, have been affected by the irregu-
lar weather that has lately prevailed in
the south. Late cOnSignmentS Of spin
ach have been very poor and sales at
as low as SOC a barrel have been fire.
Quent. CucumberS are plenty and
cheap, as receipts are large.
Celery, lettuce and onions are steady,
but tomatoes are lower, and winter root
stock is being forced to make way for
new stock. Bunch beets are plenty
and cheaper. Potatoes are dull and
weak. Comparatively small receipts
are more than sufficient for the demand,
and prices have been on the down
grade the past few days. The pres
ent level Of prices here is too low to at
tract shipments from Prince Edward
Island Rose and hebron seed potatoes
are very scarce.
