If it were not for the export market
! apples could be obtained here at any
price, it was stated today by one OF
| the leading wholesale dealers. The very
| finest fruit is now available at from 81
| to SITS a bushel, he pointed out, with
possibility that the price may be even
| lower when the full effects of one OF
the heaviest apple crops on record be-
come fully felt. =,
| It is expected that more apples will
be exported this year than at any time
! in the history of the industry. the
| fruit is of an exceptional Quailty
Peaches offered on the local market
are considerably higher than previously
This is due to the fact the virginia
West Virginia and Maryland crops are
practically exhausted, whereas the New
| York crop is not yet ready for the mar
| ket. Peaches were being quoted to-
day at from $3.50 to $2.75 a bushel for
firm fruit.
| Vegetables of all kinds, with the ex-
ception of string beans, lima beans and
various varieties of squash, are plentl-
| full and cheap The string bean crop
was practically obliterated by the bean
beetle and the wet weather spoiled the
local lima bean and squash crop.
Cantalopes are still plentiful and are
selling at from 80 cents to $3.50 a
crate. The quality is good Grapes
are selling at from SO cents to 60 cents
basket. Meat, butter and egg prices
remained unchanged today.
