ket took a decided turn for the bet
ter ON Monday and prices adj
vanced rapidly from $500 per lug
on wire orders to $3.50 and higher.
This condition was brought about
by the decrease in shipments from
Florida and Mexico where the to-
mato season Is practically over
Prices to growers likewise advanced
from SC a pound for mature green
stock to mostly &C, and In some
cases as high Is SC. With an i'm

Small sizes apparently constitute
the principal unfavorahle element.

growers fields. To date this season
the demand for green corn has not
been very active. and profits have
been only fair. The present prices
are near the border line where
growers quit pulling green corn and
let the ear mature.
Carrots continue to move at the
rate Of about five cars daily. Wa

the Raymondville section, but as
