The recent dry weather has made
berries rather scarce in the local fruit
and vegetable market, but every
ding else, especially garden truck, is
plenty. Peas and tomatoes, which
were so scarce little while ago, are
in good supply once more, and the
receipts Of cantaloupes have increased
materially. Last week saw the end
OF last years apples.
Potatoes are rather firm, as the re-
oeipts are smaller on account of the
ending of the season in Virginia and
heavy demand from the west for
Jersey potatoes. Boston dealers
have to pay high prices, and are COM
PEELED to charge high to make a profit.
Cucumbers are considerably less
plenty then they have been, and are
in consequence higher; the sets are
off the vines, and for the next week or
so, until new set comes on, cucum-
bers are likely to be rather scarce
and firm. String beans, cabbages,
lettuce and onions are in good supply
