The first hard frost hit the area Sunday night, October 8. Quality is generally very good with some lots of Golden Delicious showing russeting. Movement expected to decrease. Current supplies insufficient and in too few hands to establish a market. Prices Red Delicious lower, others generally unchanged.
Harvest continues, especially on later varieties.
Light volume of Braeburns, Fujis, and Red Romes are being offered. Extra services included. Trading fairly slow. Ordinary to fair condition offerings low as 17.25. Quality good, condition variable.
