 Salad vegetables and fruits were good sellers at the Meadow street wholesale district Friday morning again while those vegetables which, require cooking were very slow and the market for them dull. The mar ket tone generally ths week has been slow, so many consumers be- ing away from home after the holi- days. Offerings of most kinds have not been heavy which has somewhat balanced the slower demand, but altogether the result has been a weak market tone and lower price trends.
 Such salad vegetables as lettuce, tomatoes, 1adishes, and cabbage sold cut well for prices fully firm. Berries and southern fruits also were in active demand at prices mostly even with earlier in the week, al. though increased offerings of some of the native berries caused slight price reductions. Vegetables which were weaker and lower included snap beans, spinach, broccoli, beets and carrots.
 The heat wave has also shown some unfavosable effects upon the quality and quantity of offerings. While the majority of products have not suffered in quality such items as spinach, lettuce and broccoli were showing some damage to Qtial- ity. Red raspberries were lighter in supply than had been expected by some of the growers, due to diff. culty in getting pickers to work in the extreme heat. The same was true of most products in lesser de- gree.
 Best large late kinds of red rasp- berries sold usually for l2 i-2 cents . pint while smaller earlier kinds were slower moving at 10 cents. Snap beans Of the lat green variet. ies made up . large proportion of W4sS S9e8A 0URFAy WA10 x@A1$GQ Ak0&sl UU cents to ei.00 Q bushel, the latter price for only . few of the best, most of them bringing around 7S cents. Round green and wax var- ietieS of first grade quality usual- ly sold for $i.oo to si.2S . bushel.
