LOCAL wHoLEsALE MARKET

ioSocS. hepOftS from some sections
of the northwest make it plain that
prevailing prices on certain qualities
are not sufficient to pay the cost of
packing.
Oranges and grapefruit are also
plentiful and cheap. Much choice
fruit is being received from Florida,
and dealers report prices as being
more reasonable than usual.
The banana market continues firm
high prices in the United States, it is
stated. resulting from heavy ship
ments of the fruit to European coun-
tries.
Pears are scarce and high, prices
today being quoted at from $3.50 to
81 box. The grape market is prac-
t1cal!y over, and dealers are appre-
hensive over the prospects of ship
mentS from Spain being prevented
next season because of reported
diseased condition of the vines.
