1t has been a big week in straw
berries in the local market for fruit
and produce. The weeks receipts
amounted to So, 529 crates. Two cars
CT California cherries were received
last week, and more will probably be
received this week. They are quoted
at $2.25Q3 an eight-pound box by
jobbers Cantaloupes are now coming
along in carloads, but they are not
moving very brishly, for although the
prices are fairly reasonable, the quail
ity is nothing extra. Watermelons
are here in fairly large supply, but
watermelon weather is lacking.
The fine weather has brought in a
big supply of all kinds of truck, and
prices have gone still lower. Aspara-
gus is almost the only one of which
the supply has been small. Even let
tuce, which little while ago was so
scarce that it brought as high as 81. sc
box, is now offered freely at much
lower prices.
Old beets, carrots and parsnips are
about exhausted and the few that are
left command high prices. The mar
ket is firm for both old and new pota-
toes.
