In the Market Place
NEW FRUIT ARRIVES ORANGES IN DEMAND Australian fruit arriving at Auckland by the Maunganui will be cold tomorrow in the City Marts. Island fruit will be brought by the Waipahi tomorrow. Bananas are still being sought j keenly and the demand has not slack- ; ened. Good rates are being maintained for ; oranges, which have been on a parti- ! cularly sound market for a consider- | able period. In the markets for apples and pears, j attention is mainly centred on the better qualities. Green peas have been coming forward in greater quantities on the vegetable market, and the prices have evened. All root vegetables are heavily supplied, but there is a good inquiry generally. Xew potatoes are selling satisfactorily.
