extras, 23h0 241ac; western, 23@24.
Local fruit and vegetable dealers
have done good business. They
have been well stocked and prices as
a rule haye been low enough to at
tract buyers.
Apples do not change much, as the
supply and the demand continue to run
along about even.
Potatoes have grown somewhat
firmer as the receipts have diminished
and the demand has been livelier.
The market is oversupplied with
southern cabbages, and low prices are
quoted. String beans are plenty, and
the receipts of peas from the south
have increased materially. Fancy
rhubarb is rather scarce. Most of
the offerings of southern tomatoes are
so poor that the few really good ones
in the market are held at high prices.
Onions are firm; old ones have about
passed ont of the market.
