Damage done to the Michigan peach crop
Is said TO be largely matter of imagina-
ton. While the winter was an open one
until near the end of January, the weather
was not warm enough to start the buds.
Should freeze come late in the spring II
would, no doubt, do damage, but accord

very few Offering. Such as are soliciting
business are doing so on a basis of IA to
10c per dozen higher than the opening prices
of most of the packers.

fruit line. The trade Is daily growing bet
ter, but never is heavy in the month OF
February.
There is very firm market on rice OF
either Japan or Honduras style 6ParSies
sales being made are on medium priced
goods of good quality, and II the present
demand continues 1t will be reasonable to
expect an advance on this grade. Jobbers
do not howeyerh look for any marked
change in the market during the next few
weeks
