BIO

While there has been q slight de-
cline in the carlot movement OF
new cabbage. the volume has not
been sufficient TO materially affect
the market. A light shipment dur
ing the last week in January has
let the total volume fall below last
season. A comparison week by week
OF the new crop movement Tor
January indicates that the market
is in a position to absorb almost
unlimited amounts OF cabbage this
winter.
