Declduous and Citrus Fruits
| There was active market for fresh fruits
| yesterday. as in addition to the usual extra
1 buying py local traoeSmeu Ior SUNDAY wants,
there was brisk inquiry for shipment on
steamers leaving for northern ports and Homo
lulu. Cherries were the leading feature OF the
| shipping trade and although receipts were
large, supplies Of packed stock were cleaned NJ
promptly at slightly higher prices. Loose stock
did not fare 30 well, az the market was over
supplied and the presence OF large quantities
! of poor and unattractive fruit had depressing
| effect values The Gamers were liberal pur-
| chasers Of all varieties at 2GSc a pound, but
a large surplus had to be held over nevertheless.
As usual at the end of the week prices for
relatively frmer than Longworths, as the quality
and appearance Of the latter were not up to the
usual standards. Several small consignments OF
| the other kinds OF berries came in and met
| crates Of apricots arrived and went at low
| prices the demand being limited because Of the
| uuattractiveness OF the fruit. Currants did q
little better there being very few received
! in the citrus department oranges and grapefruit
were closely cleaned up and firm, while lemons
and lines merely steady, with supplies
somewhat in excess Of the demand.
