MONTREAL. 



The fruit trade last month has been very brisk in this city. The receipts of Southern 

 tomatoes, apples, pears and melons being unusually heavy this summer. 



The prices ruling at to-day's market, are : Canadian raspberries, 8| to 9cts. per quart ; 

 Canadian raspberries, 65 to 75cts. per pail ; Canadian cherries, $1.00 to $1.25 per basket ; 

 apples, N.Y. State Astrachans, $3 to $3.50 per bbl. ; apples, Southern, $3 to $3.25 per bbl. ; 

 apples, Canadian, 40c. to 50cts. per basket ; peaches, Canadian, $1 to $1.75 per basket ; 

 California plums, $2.25 to $2.50 per box ; California peaches, $2.25 to $2.50 per box ; Cal- 

 ifornia pears, $3 to $3.25 per box ; California apricots, $3 to $3.25 per box : Southern to- 

 matoes 30c. to 50cts. per box. We hear from almost every part of the country a report of 

 good fruit crops. We judge that at least peaches, plums, and summer and fall apples will 

 be abundant in supply, and very moderate in price. The crop of winter apples reports are 

 conflicting, but, on the whole, we expect to see a fair crop. We strongly advise all ship- 

 pers not to send to this market inferior harvest and other apples, nor apples that have been 

 packed a few days. The money is in fresh-packed, fair-sized, good fruit. The local crops 

 around Montreal has very largely increased during the past five years, and to a great ex- 

 tent supplies this market with very fine apples.

TORONTO. 



Raspberries are somewhat scarcer to-day, and prices are up a little. An error in the 

 typographical changing of figures got the quotations of foreign peaches opposite native 

 peaches while the figures for California peaches were left unaltered, thus giving a mistaken 

 height in price. Those peaches selling at 75c. per basket are very poor stuff, badly infected 

 with yellows, while even at $1.25 the sample is not above extra choice. The general price 

 for ordinary grade peaches is 90c. to $1 per basket. Apples, native, per basket, 40c. to 45c. ; 

 apricots, Cal., per 4 basket crate, $2 to $2.25 ; bananas, per bunch, $1.50 to $2 ; beans, per 

 basket, 20c. to 25c. ; blueberries per basket, 90c. to $1 ; cherries, per basket, 65c. to 75c. ; cu- 

 cumbers, per dozen, 40c. to 45c. ; currants, black, per basket, $1.50 to $1.60 ; currants, red, 

 per basket, $1.10 to $1.25 ; gooseberries per basket, 80c. to $1 ; lemons, per box, $5.50 to 

 $6 ; oranges, Val., per case, $6 to $8 ; oranges. Mess., per ^ box $2.50 to $2.75 ; peaches,
