Although the bulk of native ap- pies were continuing to sell for un- changed prices, southern apples were showing firmer and higher market tone. Since these southern offerings have been the lowest priced, and the weakest feature of the apple situuation recently, increased firmness by them prob- ably will later be reflected by other kinds.
 Southern York ImperiaIs when well graded and of good No 1 quality were being held late this week for $1.50 or more per bush- el. 10 to 15 cents higher than pre- viously. Winesaps from the Vir- ginia- Maryland area were priced as high as $2.O0 g. bushel at some wholesalers, compared with $1.65 to 41.75 bushel for this variety up to early in the week.
 Apples from nearby orchards were mostly out of cold storage and selling for $2.00 a bushel up to $2.75 for high grade Mcintosh. Delicious and Cortland from cold storage were usually held for $2.25 or more, some $2.50. Common stor- age Delicious of fancy quality were available in limited quantity at $2.00. Baldwins of best quality were selling in small amounts for $2.00 a bushel, average quality stock around $1.75. A few lots Of this variety were seen, from com mon storage, poor to ordinary con- dition. selling around $1.00 a bushel. but not enough of this kind were on sale to be of market im- portance.
 Other fruits were firmer and higher for late varieties of cran. berries while oranges were plenti- full and low priced. Increased mar ket strength developed by Massa- chusetts yellow onions has the most definite price change among the vegetables this week, price ad- vancing about 25 cents per 50 pound sack.
