Cabbage sold extremely well and freely when prices : were high. . but the public does not care to purchase stocks when they are low as at present. - When potatoes were much higher than they r are today, the public bombarded the grocers ' with . orders but with prices dropping, consumers appear to have lost their appetite for stock.; ' ' The same Is true as regards cherries.
