NORWICH MARKET REPORT FOR
 GROWERS AND DEALERS

The first shipload of potatoes was de- livered at the local docks from Long Island by Captain Anderson of the So- phia Van Name. The potatoes are direct ly from the growers fields. The short route and quick delivery entails a min mum of expense for the product which is evidenced by the instantaneous drop in the prices for potatoes. Wholesalers trucks were busy carting loads from the docks to the retailers. This necessi- tates minimum of storage and hand ling. The Long Island potatoes to thls market are shipped from Orient and the trip is somewhat less than six hours. It is expected that there will be two or three shiploads of 240 barrels each ar rive weekly.
 Cabbage is now being offered in abun- dance and the market is unstable This ! is very much in evidence in New York; i and since an excess is produced here. the same condition exists. The demand for cabbage in the summer is quite inelas- 1 tic regardless of whether it is two or eight cents a pound to consumers. Sweet corn was offered by local grow CT today and the supply will scon be abundant. Many growers report that they will offer sweet corn within two | weeks The supply of most vegcta- l bles seems to be all that consumers will | buy now, and yet leaving some of the products unsold An exception is the berry crops. There are not enough of l these offered. Other cities report the same fact. It seems that in d period 1 of this kind many farmers see an nppor- 1 unity in the bush berry business, and ! they plant considerable. The number. un- 1 dertaking it produce a surplus for this market al at once, and disappointment | in the business is felt. The result is [ t1oo loo, supply and over-supply ip cycle.
