Trading in fruits and vegetables has
been fairly good There has been a
good. steady demand for potatoes, and
apples have been a little more active
than they were. The market is not over
supplied, and prices are firm and even
strong in spots. Greenhouse truck, es-
pecially lettuce, is plenty, but southern
garden products have not been coming
along very fast, and the inward move
ment Of fruits has not been heavy.
Apples do not change much. Good
fruit is moving fairly we'll, and is per-
haps slightly stronger, but it is still
able prices. Receivers expect March
to be good month in apples.
There are good cranberries in the
market, but they. are high, and sales
are chiefly in crates.
Potatoes are firm. The demand is
good, the arrivals are not heavy, and
New York and Philadelphia buyers
have lately been competing with local
dealers for purchases in Maine. The
New York quota ton is So a barrel for
Aroostook Green mountains, which is
equal to about 95c hushel; the Boston
quotation is 9Oc. It is likely that BOs-
ton dealers will have to pay more and
ask more. Sweet potatoes also are
firm; receipts are small and are easily
cleaned up. Southern kale and spinach
are little more plenty than they have
been recently. but are still high. Hot
house beet green's and dandelions
are fairly cheap. Cucumbers are firm,
not so much because of an active de-
mand as because Of light receipts. AL
most all kinds of root vegeta bles are
tending higher Cabba ges hold their re-
cent advance, and the little native celery
that is Obtainable commands stiff
prices. String beans do not get any
cheaper, and squashes, though a little
lower than they were, are still pretty
high. Lettuce is cheap and radiSheS
are reasonable. Onions are higher and
! firm.
