Controlling Quo- i 11 I II I ssm.su rnUUUuLuw re ..dX d .<i:uni ILL HO GRAPES FOR LOVE OR MONEY Only Few More Days of Texas Elbertas —Potatoes Show a Strong Movement. Neither love nor money could buy a crate at grapes this morning, the market being en tirely bare. Owing to detained railroad ship ments the regv.iar supply did not arrive. The demand for grapes is heavy nod those re ceived yesterday did not last until afternoon. The expected shipments may come in some time this afternoon or in the morning. The grape crop in California is just beginning to move regularly and the shipments to this mar ket will grow heavier with the coming of fall. The Toxas Elberta peaches in cold storage are beginning to show signs of oxhajetion and it will be but a day or two before the big yellow Elbertas from the Texas gardens are no more. But while they last they will hold the field in peaches. There is strong movement noted in pota toes that bids fair to grow heavier. Several cars of spuds arrived this morning and salts wore made right and left. The Salinas pota toes from California were quoted at $2.15 and $3.26 and the Burbank at <2.00 and $2.10. A supply of yellow yams from local gardens arrived. The demand for these has al wake been heavy, but especially so at present. The local growers will have all they can do to supply the demands of the local market with out making any shipments out of the city. As good if not better prices can be received right here at home. The yellow yams are quoted at $2 per cwt. A few tomatoes were to be seen here and there this morning, but at no place was there an abundance. The sections all over the country ere now growing short of this pro duct and it will not be long until more than one are two crate shipments will be an un usual occurrence. 'The quotations still range from $l.OO to $1.25. A car of cabbage was received this morn ing and added a slight activity to the mar ket. The quotations run from $2.75 to $3.00. The shipments of the Pearmain aud Bell flower apples, the two latest varieties on the market, are coming into prominence. These are late apples and the supply will be heavier In a few weeks. A car of the Graveriktein variety’ arrived this morning and are quoted at $2.15 and $2.25 per box. Lemons still remain steady at $6. It is the opinion of all of the commission men that this will be the steady quotation during the intiro year, but nothing is assured. VEGETABLES. POTATOES—SaIinas 2.15-2.25.
