The local fruit and vegetable mar
| ket suffers from the mild weather. AS
there are no frosts, production keeps
on at almost summer pace and there
is an abundance of everything except
peaches, cantaloupes and one or two
other things that are either at about
the end of their seasons or can no
longer be grown out of doors. Because
of the mild weather many people are
still able to depend on their own gar
dens; that condition restricts the out
let OF stuff from the local market. Be-
tween large supply on one hand,
and rather limited demand on the
other, prices are weak.
