Fruit is now oll'ered in much smaller (juantity. 

 Consignments from home sources consist mainly 

 ..f apples of the variety Hramley Seedling. 

 I'lici's hav<' materially increased, but at no time 

 did Ihev attain such ji. hij,'h standard as last year. 

 The rea's(»ns for this, of course, are quite obvious : 

 the sui>plv <d forei^Mi lu-oduce fluctuated, very 

 nmch, extremely small (piantities bein*,' offered 

 on several occasions. 



Cabbages of good quality are now commanding 

 good prices i)er load, and growei-s have not now 

 so much cau.se for comi)la.int in regard to returns 

 as was the case l)efore Christmas. Cauliflowers 

 are particularly scarce, therefore bidders are 

 active and g<"od prices i)revail. Celery and, while 

 turnips are very i)lentiful. and. as the quality of 

 the former is not up to the usual standard, th<' 

 ju.or returns which they are giving are not at all 

 to be wondered at. Sprout.s and artichokes are 

 moderately su|)itlied and well maintain ])revious 

 ))rices. Other vegetables — viz.. leeks, ])arsnips, 

 carrots, onions, «.V:c. — show practically no <haTige. 

 and i)rices remain una!t<-red.
