a firm local market and moderate
demand. Steady conditions prevail
ed in other apple producing sec
tiOns. The northern and western
crops seem to have turned out a lit
tie better than expected The middle
Atlantic and southern States were
the only groups where the prOduc-
ton estimate did not increase for
November but decreased further,
losing about per cent compared
with the October figures. New Eng
land, New York, New Jersey, and
! Pennsylvania have apple crops
| above average, also much larger
than last year. About go per cent of
this years crop in the barrelled ap-
pie region is in these States. The
barrel and box crops are about ev-
emily divided this season. The de
creasing Importance of the barrel
apple pack in cold storage for the
domestic trade is suggested by the
showing of more than four times as
many baskets as of barrels in the
November report. The barrel pack
is still important in the East but
even in the middle Atlantic region
there were 3,522,OO0 baskets COM
pared with $4,000 barrels. The
South Atlantic States have 1862, 1000
baskets compared with 448, 900 bar
rels in cold storage.
Onion Supply Moderate
Although carlot shipments are
still moving actively from the cen
trail west the supply is reported
moderate in nearly all eastern mar
kets. Some mid-western cities had
liberal receipts in mid-NoVember.
Demand appears to be little bet
ter than early in the month al
though still very slow in New York,
Chicago, and st. Louis. The crop is
a large one this season and western
producing sections shipped liberal
ly early in the season because of
lack of sufficient storage as protec-
tion from freezing. The situation is
gradually settling to a winter basis.
Prices are comparatively low and
have not shown much recent
change. Growers in a few far wes-
tern sections are reported getting
as low as 80 cents 100 lbs, but
more general range in producing
sections is 50c-90c. Eastern yellow
varieties are selling in the large
markets at $1-1.25 per 100 lbs, and
at a little higher rate in the 50-lb.

Prices of cabbage were fully main

ber in most markets. The standard
is the late-keeping type of cabbage |
from western New York which has

and limited demand are reported in
producing sections of The East and
middle West. Shipments in carlots
are chiefly from New York and Wis
consin and amount to 1875 10 $50
cars daily.
Celery In Moderate Demand
Slightly higher prices for celery
were quoted in eastern producing
sections the second week in Novem-
ber but demand continued moderate
at country shipping points. The
