NORWICH MARKET REPORT FOE
 GROWERS AND DEALERS

| Consumers are rejoicing over the fact that Long Island growers are harvesting l a good crop of potatoes. The first ship ment of their harvest arrived in the To- cal market yesterday. The growers pack | the potatoes in barrels covered by coarse netting. This is very attractive and makes it possible to see the quality of 1 the potatoes. There seems to be an un- limited demand for potatoes Many acres must be harvested to satiate it. At present potato vines in New England 1 look fine There is a big element of chance in potatoe raising. The crop may | have been carried through the season under the best conditions and be lost during two weeks before time for har- yesting in the event of wet weather, due to rotting of the tuber caused by blight Native tomatoes increased In supply Friday Green peas were also quite abundant The market for beets seems to be taking the product at a slightly de- creased price, selling at 75 cents per dog en punches Native. cucumbers have ap- peared in small amounts. The asparagus season is drawing to a close. Native eggs have advanced to 65 cents per dozen. Cabbage has dropped to cents per pound
 The supply of both red and black rasp-
 berries has increased The price re- nained, at 20 cents per pint. Huckleber- ries were slightly overbought Wednesday and sellers were obliged to dispose of them today at 20 cents, per quart. There were no strawberries on the market Southern peaches are being shipped in abundance. There is much difficulty in attempting to get this crop in the large city markets as railroad transportation is inadequate for highly perishable fruit. Many of the peaches arriving in Con necticut from Georgia were 50 per cent decayed. This is a serious loss. It falls on the buyer or the railroad, as the cars are sold outright, for cash on the exchange in Georgia.
 Active demand for: Eggs, Potatoes, Raspberries, Tomatoes.
 Moderate demand for: Lettuce, Cab bage,, Spinach, Beans, Peas.
 Slow demand for: Celery, Onions, Cur rants; Cherries.
 Market Conditions.
 There was an abundance of native beans, peas, huckleberries, beets, carrots on the market today. A considera ble drop was noted in huckleberries but oth- CT produce held fair. The first shipment of Long Island potatoes arrived, A re- cent inspection of those areas disclosed that an excellent crop is expected More
