LOCAL WHOLESALE MARKET.

Dealers have been advised that
the recent spell of cool weather did
not ruin fruits and vegetables in the
nearby agricultural sections. South
Carolina shippers glutted the straw
berry market the past few days, and
few crates of the berries have been
received from Norfolk.
Receipts of berries in such large
quantities and correspondingly lower
prices decreased demands for grape
fruit and oranges, and the latter
fruits are not 50 much in demand.
Asparagus receipts from South Car
olina are getting smaller each day.

the grass several days, but their
shipments are not large enough to
supply the trade. Eastern shore as
paragus appeared in the local mar
kets two days ago. and that section
Of Maryland will be depended upon
for supplies the next few weeks.
Nearby truckers are supplying the
local trade with supplies of kale.
spinach, rhubarb and the several
smaller green vegetables.
