WHOLESALE MARKET REPORT.

WHOLESALE MARKET REPORT.
Spring showers this morning were
suggestive Of an early increase In
supplies of vegetables from nearby
farms of truckers. Supplies of as
paragus from the south are gradually
decreasing. and dealers are depending
upon nearby and eastern shore grow
ers for supplies.
Grass, as the vegetable is called by
dealers, grown in nearby country is
a trif1e smaller than southern grass.
1t also is put up in smaller bundles,
but its quality is not to be dis
counted.
Kale. spinach. lettuce. onions and
other early vegetables are being re-
ceived In large quantities by whole
sale dealers. and supplies will in
crease as the season advances.
Strawberries from the south con-
tinue plentiful and cheap. Several
shipments of berries have been re-
ceived from Norfolk growers, and
their shipments will be largely in
creased before the close of the week.
