IN CENTER MARKET
Strawberry Season About
Ended--0ther Berries in
Liberal Supply.

Liberal Supply.
Early closing of Center Market today,
second early Wednesday closing this
season, brought shoppers out tribe
earlier than usual. Business was not
especially active, however, dealers re-
ported. :,
Only a few strawberries were offered
the trade this morning, as the season Is
about closed. There will be lew OF
the bearing variety throughout the
Summer and Fall seasons, however, but
receipts probably will be small.
Liberal supplies of blackberries from
North Carolina, and fairly large receipts
of home grown dewberries resulted IN
cheaper prices. Light receipts OF rasp-
berries from nearby growers, IlghG re-
ceipts of huckleberrtes from North
Carolina and light receipts OF nearby
cherries are reported.
Wholesalers reported moderate re-
ceipts of watermelonS and cantaloupeS
and fairly large shipments OF peaches
from Georgia and North Carolina. Light
supplies of new stock apples met only
a fair demand.
Most varieties of vegetables continue
In plentiful supply Potatoes were not
so plentiful this morning as during the
past two weeks, 1t was reported, while
dealers received increased shipments OF
tomatoes, chiefly from Mississippi.
Prices of most commodities this morn
ing were substantially the same as
