 Rains recently in the Imperial Val ley. California, were resulting in higher prices for iceberg lettuce. Local trading was at prices higher than last week by fully 50 cents per crate. Reports from California stated that shipments had been re- duced sharply as result of the rains causing wet fields which pre- vented cutting.
 Spinach was another new crop vegetable which was in lighter SUD- ply and higher priced, most whole salers asking from 10c to 15c more per bushel than at the close of last week.
 Cabbage, on the other hand, was reacting in buyers favor. Increased shipments from Texas lately caused lower prices. crates of new cabbage from that state selling locally about soc lower than a week ago. Supplies of old cabbge were reduced to such low levels that sellers of it were not reducing prices in line with reduc- tions for new stock.
 Carlot receipts f. Connecticut dur Ing the week ending last Saturday of these products indicated the prob- able price trend which has since developed. except in the case of spin- ach. Spinach arrivals during that week were much heavier than dur ing the first week of February, but light supplies have come in since then, evidently. Cabbage filled IS cars the second week of the month as against only 10 the first week. Only 15.5 cars of lettuce were re- ceived last week compared with 20 cars the previous week.
 The first week of February eight cars of apples were imported into this state while last week only came in. Last week 16.5 cars of eggs and 11.5 of poultry were re- ported compared with 10.5 of eggs the previous week and 8.5 of poul- try.
