PRODUCE MARKET NOTES

Produce markets have been un
esttled this month, changing rapid!
under the leadership of shifting po
tatO prices and changes in supply
and crop conditions. Sharp price de-
clines followed the quick rise ol
early June, and many lines of pro-
duce were down One-third to one
half from the top by the middle OF
the month. The slump was followed
by moderate recoveries after mid
June.
Better crop conditions in the
South and refusal of consumers to
buy at the high levels of early June
we're given as the explanation of the
sudden drop in prices of potatoes,
cabbage, cantalOupes, melons and
other produce. The recovery that
followed was supported by strong
underlying conditions, including
generally light production and mod
crate shipments. Potatoes, lettuce.
peaches, and cantalOupes were doing
somewhat better the third week of
June and a considerably frmer mar
ket tone prevailed.
CarlOt shipments of produce are
week by week, but are
still about one-seventh less than for
the corresponding time last year.
Gains the second week OF June were
mainly seasonal, including melons,
plums, tomatoes, pea
ches, lemons, and sweet corn, all
the time of more active
shipping movement.
Potato Market Recovery
Potatoes have continued a leading
market feature this month. The
sharp advances early in June were
by equally rapid declines
md later by moderate recOYeries of |
SOC to 75c from the low point. Some

size and NOT likely to move actively
until next month. Usual tendency of
the market is down in summer, but
( light production of mid-seasOn DO

Onions Fairly Steady
Prospects of lighter receipts Of
onions because of shrinkage of about
one-fOurth in recent carlot ship
ments has supported the onion mar
ket a little. but prices have not
changed much in city markets. Tex
as yellow stock is selling 75c to 81
per so pounds in the Middle West
and is firm at 35c to 4Oc on cash
track sales in Texas producing sec
tiOns. Demand was slow even at the
low prices prevailing. White varie-
ties sell rather close to the price of
yellow stock.
Southern peas show very irregular
quality and price range, but most
sales in northern markets are be-
tween soc to 81 per bushel. TOma-
toes have been in heavy supply and
the market weak at levels lower
than prevailed a year ago, but prices
have been advancing in southern
producing sections since the middle
of the month under moderate supply !
and good demand at shipping points.
Fruit Quality Uneven
Prices of western cantalOupes ,
we're irregular but generally rather
firm at $2.75 to $3.75 per box in most
leading markets. Watermelons held
1t fairly steady prices in producing /
