 Wednesday, April 1 - Potatoea were assuming definitely firme, market position and prices were uI at all wholesalers to higher levels The bulk of Maine stock of frs grade was selling from $2,35 to $2.4I per 100 pound sack. Maine shippers were holding stock at shipping points at prices 15c to 20c per loo poundi higher than late last week. Import ant western potato shipping center. developed a similar firmer and higher market more than a week ago, the development of this in- creased strength having been rather slight and indefinite In the east at that time.
 This increased sensativeness Of the old potato market Is a usual occur ence at this season of the year. Stocks at shipping centcrs have been reduced to levels low enough to en- able more definite estimate of total supplies available for further ship ment, figures showing shipments to date have assumed large enough proportions to furnish accurate pic lures of the demand situation, and new southern crop prospects have become more tangable. It is not un- common, therefore. for the potato market late in March and early April to show sharp price changes in either direction.
 Asparagus was arriving more freely than early in the week, Cali fornia shipments being heavier and some movement from southern states had started, resulting in sharply lower prices.
 Western iceberg lettuce was selling at wide price range, stock from California going for $3.50 or little more while Arizonia lettuce was held for about $1.00 more per Crate. Spinach was arriving from two sec tons and selling at two different price levels, Texas stock was high and firm while Virginia was cheap- CT.
