Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1902-11-13
COUNTRY PRODUCE MARKET.

The market is very dull, due to warm
weather and heavy receipts. Live and
dressed poultry, together with game. show
a marked decline since the last quotation
a considerable portion Of the game ar
irving is in bad condition. owing to bad
packing and the weather. and is being
gotten rid of at a price little above the ex-
press charges. Many Of the rabbits were
positively spoiled. and some sod as low
as cents.
Commission men complain that shippers
of game and poultry pack their goods be-
fore the animal heat has left the body:
moreover. game is packed SO closely that
there is no ventilation in the boxes This
brings about a condition favorable TO the
| breeding Of maggots. Slippers are warn
ed that poor stuff is neglected and do not
always bring quotations even when sold.
Cabbages are glut on the market, and
are quoted At S. to 81 a ton. which is
unusually low. There are said to be
number of cars now on the tracks in this
city. Apples show decline Of about y
cents to the barrel. and the receipts
recently have been very heavy in the
medium and common grades. It will take
week TO clean up the stock now on
hand.
Only fancy stock is said to be wanted
Cold weather is needed TO save the mar
ket from Generalization.
