The dullness of the wholesale pro-
duce markets Christmas week was
i'm sharp contrast to the activity in
retail trade during the holiday sea-
son. In the producing sections too
there is the usual year-end slowing
down of. deliveries, trading and
shipments. Carlot movement is in
slow volume. Prices are fairly
steady in most lines. A few small
declines gave the general market a
slightly weaker tone. Onions are an
exception in holding a firm position
with upward price trend. Good let
tuce is selling well also because Of
limited western output of choice
stock. Sweet potatoes sold a little
higher in some markets.
Potato Markets Dull
Carlot shipments of potatoes con-
tinue light; daily total from all sec
tions is only 400 to 500 cars. Haul
ings from farm to shipping point are
light i'm producing sections, and
there is little activity among dealers
and shippers. Prices held about
steady in western New York, but
demand was slow and established
values hard to maintain. Growers
were receiving mostly 25c per bush
ell, but at some points it is felt diff
cult to buy from growers at any
thing below soc. Shipping point
prices range mostly between 65 and
CSC per 100-pound sack. Colder wea-
ther has prevailed in northern
Maine, but haulings have been rath-
er light owing to temperature below
zero and deep snow drifts in some
places. The price paid to growers
remains about SOC per barrel in
bulk. Most of the recent buying has
been for immediate needs only. Car
lot sales were on the local basis of
43c per 10O-pOund sack. Maine ship
ments are tagging behind those of
last season to the extent of % per
cent Maine Green Mountains fol-
low a steady price range in city
markets at 85c to $1.2O per 100
pounds. Washington reached $1.25
and various southern markets $1.45 |
TO SLIGO. New York and Pennsylva- |
mia round white varieties brought |
soc to 81 in Baltimore and Pitts
burgh. The Chicago carlot market !
is unchanged on spot sales and ON |
prices for March delivery.
Shipments of sweet potatoes were |
extremely light toward the end of
the month and limited supplies were |
reported in a few markets. Demand |
continued slow and there was little
general change in the price situa-
tion although trend of the Chicago
market was upward. Maryland and
New Jersey sweets brought 40 to
75c a bushel in eastern markets.
Eastern Shore stock was steady in
Baltimore at 25 to 35c, but advanced
TO top of Csc in Washington. New
Jersey sweets sold higher in Pitts
burgh and Cleveland at $120. Vir-
ginia white yams were steady at 35
TO 60c in Baltimore and Philadel-
phia. South Carolina Porto Ricans
brought so to 75c in Pittsburgh.

Produce Market Notes


western and central New YOrl
reached tops of So. New York ane
Massachusetts yellow varieties SOLD
at $1.60 to $21O per so pounds in
the large markets, showing a slight
gain in Boston and steadiness else
where. Western markets showed
little further change.
Dullness prevailed in the cabbage
markets the last half of December
There is something of g deadlock
between growers and dealers in the
eastern producing section, owing to
recent slight declines in prices,
which growers are unwilling to ac-
cept, but holiday conditions ac-
counted for much of the inaction.
Dealers expect greater market ac-
tivity after the new year. Supplies
are moderate in most eastern mar
kets but limited in Boston. Prices
were generally steady, but weaken
ed slightly in Philadelphia and the
Middle West. General range in cas-
tern markets was $14 to 500 per
ton in bulk. Prices OF southern
cabbage tended slightly lower.
Prices of New York carrots de-
clined about 10c per 100 pounds in
New York with jObbing sales at SOC
to $1.05. Philadelphia and Wash
ington markets continued uncnang-
ed. The volume of carrots moving
from eastern producing sections IS
small and there is little change in
price. A few sales realized SOC per
100 pounds. After New Year, car
rots from cold storage will begin TO
move to market. Michigan carrots
sold lower in Pittsburgh and there
were some declines OF prices of
southern carrots in several mar
kets.
Celery Market Irregular
Most of the celery now moving
out of storage in western New York
is fair to ordinary in quality and
Only a few hundred cars
remain available for shipment.
Prices at shipping points have rang
ed from $1.1O to $1.75 per two-thirds
crate. The irregularity of the con-
1itiOn of the celery is largely re-
sponsible for the wide range of val
hes. Supplies are moderate in most
lf the large cities, but were heavy
N Boston Christmas week and lib
4ral i'm Pittsburgh. Quality of cas-
ern stock was variable and prices
'anged from 81 to 81 per crate. Cal

steady in eastern markets.

lies in producing sections find trad |
