Potatoes, western iceberg lettuce and butter prices were lower at wholesalers Wednesday than at the opening of the week. Eggs sold for lower averages at the Tuesday Ham, den auction sale and live poultry of the young stock classes did not bring quite as much as last week. Otherwise the fresh perishable pro- duce price list remained practically the same with apples, most of the western dressed meats and some of the new southern green vegetables higher priced than normal for this season.
 New crop dandelions were coming from New Jersey thus far to supply the local trade, but native stock from hotbeds was on sale in Hart ford. Weather conditions the past few weeks have been adverse to the usual rapid increase in supply of these first early greens, resulting in prices holding up to higher than normal levels so long after first ar rivals. The southern dandelions were selling at local wholesalers for around $1.75 bushel and the native llotbed offerings in Hartford were moving well at $2.00 to $2.50 bush- el. A few native scallions have been brought In at Hartford also, selling usually for 50 cents a dozen bunch eS.
 At the Hamden auction Tuesday there were 573 cases of eggs and $50 crates of poultry sold. Large eggs grading Connecticut Special brought 26 to 28 cents a dozen, averaging 26.7; large Extras 26 to 281s, aver age 26.2; medium Specials 24 to 26is average 24.4; medium Extras 24 to 26, average PAS; and bullet Exaras 2l to 23, averaging 22.4 cents a dog eTl. |. s.f,, -s
