Fruit and vegetable markets
closed the year with wholesale trad
ing quiet and prices quite well sus-
tanned. Changes were small but
slightly downward, and conditions
in general were about as usual at
the time of the year. The produce
market often gains in activity and
/ strengthens in price trend soon af-
| ter the middle of January, especially
the trade in northern stored pro-
duce. Early vegetables are increas-
! ing in supply and prices inclined
downward when conditions are fav-
orable for the growing crops and
for active shipment.
Potatoes, onions, and cabbages
closed the year fairly steady but a
little below the top price of the De-
cember rise. Some onion shipping
points had sagged back to the low
levels of the fall months but prices
were holding about steady in east
ern producing sections. There is
little change in the apple market.
Dealers expect renewal of apple ex-
ports as soon as the bulk of the
Canadian crop is out of the way. but
the present dullness of foreign de-
mand has been slightly depressing
to the home market.
Sweet potatoes are in light to
moderate supply in eastern cities
and demand rather slow. A firm tone
prevails at Boston, Philadelphia and
Baltimore.
Maryland and Delaware sweets of
the Jersey type sell in eastern
markets at 60 to S5c per bushel.
Virginia and North Carolina red
yams bring Csc to 81. Best New
Jersey sweets sold up to $1.25 in
Pittsburgh, but mostly 75c to 81
in other eastern markets.
Cabbage Prices Weaken
Many of the large markets quoted
slightly lower prices on cabbage the
last week of December. Supplies
were moderate, but demand is slow.
General jobbing range is still $12 |
to SIS per ton in bulk. Steady mar
kets were reported in the important !
