Deciduoua and Citru. Fruits

The late arrival of boats and trains and the
consequent tardy deliveries of eonsignments at
the stores restricted traffic in fresh fruits yes
terday and stock that would have sold we'll
at steady prices in the early trade had to be
disposed Of at the same rates asked for carried
over lots. The Gamers continued to purchase
freely of apricots and Bartlett pears, paying $50
ton for the former and from $3.50 to $50
for the latter Peaches were a very weak fea-
ture, the market being overstOeked with small
boxes. which were being urged for sale at low
figures to the detriment of superior quality
offerings in baskets and lug boxes Figs were
in good request at the old quotations. and prices
for melons held up well. while Plums.
weak than otherwise Grapes in free
supply and dull, the abundance and eheapness
of other fruits being against their sale. In
the berry market Longwotrh Strawberries did
little better and raspberries and loganberries
remained hrm light supplies. Malinda straw
berries and blackberries received little atten-
tion from retailers or peddlers. and the usual
large lines had to be turned over TO Gamers
and syrup makers at low figures
