Leading markets report trade still
draggy, but improving gradually
with cooler weather. Local supplies
are light for the time of year. but
truck crops and fruit have been i'm
proving with generally better grow
ing conditions. CARROTS are moving
in about IS percent larger volume,
with moderate gains for potatoes,
sweet potatoes, apples, grapes, pears,
peaches, lettuce and cabbage, but
melons and cantalOupes continue to
decrease rapidly. Combined fruit
and vegetable shipments have been
slightly larger so far this season,
despite many cuts in production.
Potatoes Slightly Weaker
Some Of the large produce mar
kets were showing slight weakness
in early September in response to
increasing shipments from the main
crop region and improved growing
conditions. Supplies in city markets
were moderate and demand slow.

500 carlots.
Crops in the northern potato belt
were greatly helped by the rains in
late August and early September !
and local production estimates in
creased sharply as compared with

weather still prevailed in some CEN
raj producing sections.
Prices Of sweet potatoes we're
lbout steady in the East but slightly
