PRODUCE PRICES FIRM
ON ACTIVE DEMAND
Dealers Secure Sufficient Pota-
toes for the Trade Egg
Receipts Light

The produce market wednesday was
featureless with the exception of slight
changes in vegetables. Green cabbage was
weak. selling down to 75c and soc a sack
and celery declined to S2.25 and $3.50 a
crate.
1t was reported that eggs, butter and
cheese were firm.
Cantaloupes and watermelons continue
weak. Pears are moving out freely at a
very stiff price and are expected to clean
up much earlier than last year. There
are a good many peaches in storage. 1t is
reported. and some are coming out in poor
condition. The market is steady on this
variety of fruit and there is little proba-
bility that the price will advance ma
terally before the close OF the season.
Grapes firm.
There was an easier feeling in potatoes
than on the day previous although receipts
fell below the 600-sack mark. Arrivals OF
late have been sufficiently heavy to keep
dealers supplied for day or two and de-
mand was slow. The market is about
steady at prevailing prices.
Fish was in fair supply. .
Receipts of produce were; Eggs 16l
cases. butter. 14,624 pounds; cheese 1422
pounds; potatoes, 58S sacks; onions. 29S
sacks; sweet potatoes 21s sacks; apples
