Furnished by Connecticut Depart ment of Agriculture-B. P. Storrs, Local Agent). There were only a few products left today which were not sharing to some extent in the firm. high priced which developed earlier in the month following cold weather and storms in most of the import ant producing sections of the south. Apples. new carrots and tomatoes were about the only ones which have not joined in the price upswing. Most of those which ad- vanced sharply previously were maintaining the same firm high priced market positions today. Some were higher
 Parsnips joined in the higher price movement early this. week. Late last month and early this month liberal supplies of parsnips wer on sale. trucked into the state from nearby larger market areas. These sold at lower prices than native stock had been selling earlier in the winter. Recently. however, available supplies In nearby states have suddenly be- come scarce and prices have ad- vanced sharply at large neighbor- ing markets. Local wholesalers were holding good washed stock today for $2.00 and more per bushel.
 The present "Weather Market" surprised veteran market observers and traders more than usual be- cause 1t arrived so late in the sea- son and also because of the fact that the past winter season has been unusually free from radical price fluctuations. Until early March practically all fruits and vegetables had been arriving In steady supply, liberal enough to sell cheap but not too liberal caus- ing market gluts. Weather In most producing areas was favorable and shippers organizations regulated the rate of shipments so as to obtain even distribution and pre- vent over-Eupply. Until the recent market upset by the weather It had been the steadiest winter market on record.
 Unless otherwise stated quOta- tions are based on sales of good mcrchantablc products to retailers by wholesalers or nearby produc- ers.)
