DecIduous and CItru..Fruits

There was a rather sluggish market for
fresh fruits there being nothing urgent or
brisk about the buying movement. and with
supplies of everything in the orchard line heavy,
prices weak. The market was still badly
which prices very low, and although
buyers seemed willing TO pay a premium for
strictly fine lots. there was hardly anythng
obtalnable that could grade such. Figs and
prunes were firm on limited supplies, while the
tendency of prices for apples. pears. plums and
apricots was decidedly downward The Gamers
were still buying apricots at S25d30 ton. and
they paid from $50 to $500 for No / Bartlett
pears and 5O@7Oc box for No 2 Grapes were
plentiful and easy. with $1.25 per crate a top
figure for anything. Nutmeg melons from the
river in good supply. but choice offerings
sold readily at slight advance, while canta-
loupes and nutmegs in crates from the south
were hard to move. Malinda strawberries and
blackberries were little stronger as TO prices.
but the advance was due TO decreased arrivals
and not TO any Improvement in the demand.
Raspberries and lOganberries were scarce and
high. Citrus fruits were quiet and unchanged.
