There was not as much native | farm produce on sale at the Fri day morning Meadow street mar- ket place as on most previous mornings of the week. Buyers were present in large numbers and the supply was well cleared before the close. Prices ruled unchanged or a little higher. Sweet corn, cucumbers and Bart lett pears closed firm and a little higher. Late in the morning good corn sold for $1.40 to $1.5O per 100 ears. Table size cucumbers of No. quality usually went for $1.OO a bushel and a few for more. Bartlett pears were of higher aver age quality at several stalls in the market and sold readily for $1.75 bushel when we'll graded.
 Tomatoes held steady and un- changed. lighter supplies being of- fered. A large share of first grade packs sold for 33 to 40 cents, some field-run grade for 25 to 30 and seconds usually 20 to 20. The opin- ion prevails among growers and buyers that the next few days will see tomatoes selling for lowest prices of the year and late next weke sudden increase in demand and decrease in supply followed by sharply higher prices. It is expect ed that the Labor day holidays will slow home canning demand, but that this demand will be even more active after vacationists return next week.
 offerings of native grapes are in- creasing. Fancy stock sold for SIPS per half bushel basket and No. 1 quality stock for 75 to 80 cents. Elberta peaches from the south were firmer mad higher. Delaware Elbertas are now supplying the market and it is expected that states north of there will not mar ket enough to amount to anything.
 (Cnlcss otherwise stated, quota- tions arc based on sales of good merchantablc products to retailers by nearby growers or Othcrs.)
