Los Angeles Produce


LOS ANGELES, Aug. 17.-Large
consignments of apples were received
at the produce market yesterday and
several prices were marked ldwer
one-half tier box, AIeXanders to $1.4O
a fourier box; Red Astrachan to
$3.50 four and one-half tier box;
and GRAY to $1.40@1.5O four
tier box Other fruit prices were un-
changed.
Muscat grapes from the Fresno dis
tricts are beginning to arrive on the
market, which means that there will
be plenty of low priced grapes on the
market soon. Receipts of apricots are
falling off fast. There still are a few
cots in cold storage, where they were
placed when the season was at its
height, but they will not last long. A
few shipments may be received from
the north, but the bulk of the business
in apricots is over for this year.
Another cut was made in the price
of tomatoes to 45@65c lug box. The
market was weak at the new price
and dealers say the bottom is not yet
reached Onion prices were unchanged,
and the market for them featureless.
There is very little trading in this
commodity, and there probably will
not be until cooler weather sets in.
No change was made in butter,
eggs, cheese or poultry prices. The
poultry market is firm and prices may
advance slightly in the near future.
