1t is reported that tomato and
potato plants and strawberry vines
we're hard hit by the hail. The hail
was not particularly large in all sec

welcomed by dealers in all products

in the matter of stock being affected
and ii lessening of the number OF
buyers, many staying at home.

ports indicate. most commodities
being practically the same as they
