The local fruit and vegetable mark ct
is steadily making toward normal spring
conditions. Receipts are increasing,
and, although the buying is good, prices
are gradually settling down. The re,
ceipts of Strawberries have been light
and as the weather in Florida has been
dry lately the shipments will probably
be small. Little is heard about the
strawberry crop in the Carolinas, but
the Virginia berries have been dam
| aged by cold weather.
The south is sending garden truck
| along freely and the local greenhouses
| also are turning out unusually large
quantities. Dealers say it has been a
| long time since spinach was as plenty,
| cheap and good as it is this spring.
Apples are doing fairly well, and some
kinds are little higher, but the supply
is large, and so many are waiting ship
| ment that material advance is not ex-
pected now.
Tomatoes are more plenty and cheap
err than they have been. Fancy string
beans are scarce and high. Cabbages
and cucumbers are firm. Good prices
are paid for Egyptian onions, because
they are not likely to sprout as native
onions will in few weeks. Rhubarb
is slightly lower than it has been. Tur-
nips, beets, carrots and parSnips are
steady.
