erS Report.

It's only a step between frigid
weather and attractive displays OF
fruits and vegetables of numerous
varieties from warmer climates. On
the benches in the market displays
were great enough to suggest a
plentiful supply of the choicest
products from the South, but supplies
in wholesale houses told different
story.
Only moderate supplies of such
produce are being received, according
to reports Of the Agricultural Depart
ment, and in a few instances receipts
are reported as being light or very
light.
Weather conditions have made de-
1uands for much of the Southern
produce very light, dealers reported.
but increased receipts and demands
are expected when weather conditions
improve.
This mornings storm served to re-
duce the number of early morning
buyers in the wholesale market.
Business picked up a little later in
the day, but normal conditions did
not prevail.
