FIRST MARKET GUIDE FOX
 THIS SEASON IS ISSUED
 The first Norwich market guide of the season is issued today by E. IL. New marker the local representative or the Connecticut Market Information Service, who is cooperating with the New Lon- don County Farm Bureau.
 As previously explained these reports will keep the producers informed in re- gard to market prices and demand ana it is expected will have stabilizings in- fluence on the market. Special reports will be issued from time to time adVls- ing housewives when various crops are in heavy supply and can therefore be pur- chased most advantageously for canning.
 Today's guide covers the vegetables and fruits most important at the pres ent time Unless otherwise stated the prices are for products of good average quality. Poorer grades, it is pointed out, may sell for less.
 / The list. it is explained, will necessari- ly be somewhat restricted for the first few days until the organiza tion for gath ering market information and preparing it for publication is further perfected The list will be expanded gradually un- til it covers completely all fruits and vegetables of reasonable importance.
 The market report is prepared by the local representative from information col lected each morning from various farm CTS and market gardeners who sell in Norwich and from various wholesalers and retailers.
 The principal fruits and vegetables in- cluded in today's, report are grouped un- ler three headings-"active demand for, !"
 moderate demand for" and slow de- pand for This grouping will be fol- lowed each day, the makeup of the groups changing with changes in mar ket conditions. Producers will thus be kept informed concerning those products which are in most demand and con- sumers can thus expect a larger sup ply to arrive. Consumers who are look ing for bargains can often secure them from the "slow-demand-for' list as those products which are selling slowly are | usually the cheapest also. After clarifying the principal fruits and vegetables according to demand a short summary of market conditions is given. The report is then completed by listing the various products and the pre- vailing prices received for them on the day of issue.
