There are cherries and peaches in the
market this week, but they are so
scarce that dealers don't want to quote
them. In fact they are so few that
only half dozen dealers have any.
There wasn't any desire manifested on
the part of stall owners to buy the
first invoices, because of the fact that
no one dealer could get enough of them,
and besides eXorbitant prices would
have to be asked for them.
The freight handlers strike has
caused serious interference with bust
ness interests in all eastern points. En-
route to the Boston market was a large
amount of fruit, vegetables, poultry,
game, etc, which was either held UP
or delayed.

eggs show declining quality because of
abnormally slow transportation from
the west
