The united opinion. [volume] (Bradford, Vt.) 1881-1970, 1892-12-09

The large arrivals of provincial stock OF
late have moved off without any serious
| break in prices and as further shipments
by water are not expected, owing to the
near approach OF closing up of the water
ways, the market in Maine stock, it is
thought, will improve. The receipts from
! that locality are expected TO increase rs
soon as the country roads are frozen up
and teaming becomes easy.
Since Thanksgiving trade in the truck
market has not been over large There is
fllmer feeling in regard to onions and
many lots have been disposed of in a large
way for as high AS S3 barrel. Much of
the stock, however, sells for last weeks
quotations at $3.50. Producers of cab
bage have assumed a somewhat specula-
tive turn of mind and are holding their
stock for prospective rise which, they
feel, will come soon.
Advices from the gardening centers
around Boston is to the effect that unless
remarkably warm weather sets in celery
will continue to advance. Producers are
not disposed to sell for less than "a box
for the best varieties at present. These
prices will be largely regulated by the
state of the weather. Squashes bring 50
for sound stock, and is not over plenty.
Spinach, which was wanted last week at
80 to 60 cents bushel, has, owing to in
creasing supply, dropped to 40 cents,
Greenhouse lettuce is less active and so
cents is the outside limit.
