Onion Market Firm

Flood conditions in the Ohio VAL
ley affected the onion market of the
Middle West causing an advance of
cents or more per so pounds at
Michigan shipping points, owing to
orders for emergency supplies and
prices advanced slightly in western
New York. Onions were selling
higher in mid-western markets than
in the East. Leading eastern city
markets reported moderate supplies,
light demand, and steady jobbing
prices at SOC to 75c per SO pounds,
while mid-western cities quoted
range of so to rs cents.
Carrots continued to sell slowly at
s2S to $50 in bulk per ton for topped
and unwashed stock. Most of the
ton sales are to canning factories
which cannot use new carrots satis-
factorily. Eastern city markets are
about steady at 75c to 81 per bushel.
Demand for cabbage continues
rather slow at eastern carlot ship
ping points owing to abundance of
southern cabbage. Shippers esti-
mates show anywhere from 500 to
1000 cars remaining in western New

jured the. keeping quality. Ship
ments probably will continue in
moderate volume until some time in
March. Prices continue to hold at
SIS to $17 per ton for sacked stock
by the carlOt. Eastern city markets
report jobbing sales at soc to 60c
per so pounds an daround $22 per
ton. Markets are dull and weas for
cabbage.

higher. In line with advancing prices
Of oranges and other southern fruits

markets.
The bulk of sales of standard
grades and varieties may be quoted |

Baldwin. Wealthy, Stay |
nan. York, and Grimes. Some Nc
Intosh and Delicious bring higher |
prices with tops above So. Midwest
.rn markets are steady at about the |
'ange of prices prevailing in the
