l,.\i;«iK supplies of fniit and Ae^otables still con- 

 tinue t(t hold .sway on the markets. ])articularly 

 so coiuiujX on towards Yuletide. 



Aiii)les were very plentiful and, with the 

 exception of choice lots the juices have not risen 

 very materially con.sidering the season. Select 

 stuff however, commanded close attention near- 

 ing Ciiristuias, and an active demand left jtrofit- 

 .ible returns to jiroducers. Consignments of 

 ]tears are not now so numerous, and,, as in the 

 ciise of ap])les. it is only choice lots that command 

 liigh iirif-es. Middle grade lots, however, of 

 both a])]>les and i)ears show a little increase, and 

 growei-s are now somewhat better compensated 

 for their commercial undertaking. 



Foreign produce was rather sparingly sui)i)lied, 

 but previous ])rices were well maintained. 



Vegetables were extremely plentiful, notably 

 cabbages, white turnijis. These maintain a low 



level lis regar<ls jtrii-es. Celery is also selling 

 fairly chcaii. jvs a <'onse(|uence of increased
