Newspaper Page TextMARKET AND MERCHANDISE SECTION. 8ALEM, OREGON, FRIDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 10, 1928 11 y v J 1 1 Coming Now A number of vegetables have made'tbieir first appearance for the season on the local markets within the last four or fire daya. Green onions, from the local gardens, are new and as such are moving pretty well. The California sweet potato Is reaching its last demand here, and is being supplanted by yams from Texas. Yams are Just arriving. The flrat carload of broccoli for ine wholesale concern came Just this week, Roseburg supplying the market. First cucumbers, which are both htgh and scarce, came in from Davenport, Iowa, a couple of days ft.""" A- S3, ago r lav tT,1 V. .nM.UA . "W ni l 1 1 1 1 i M I 1 1 (J 1 II IH AIIUIUBI TtvC new commodity, most of this com- Ii-lng from Sumner, Wash., although It la LK;uie uoiiujcu ju a 1 ' i ' from local hothouses. Mustard greens, also, have put In an ap pearance at an occasional place and command a fair price. Cabbage from the local garden is fast breathing its last and is be ing replaced by California's early crop. """"N. Among the increase to the fruit racke are the new crop of cocoa nuts Just in from the south and moving good. days, whether it be spinach or ba- nanas.r Produce is moving good, the merchants say; even better than at the corresponding period last year. Fruit, sale for some of which had clumped, is looking up again and the demand is brisk... The banana, that fruit most in tolerant of being left in the bin too long, looks to have been no drug on the market this week and scarcely was there a place where one could carry away a sack of over-ripe ones for a mere pittance. Oranges seem generally to be of good quality, hut some grocers report that the keeping quality is Lot up to standard of other years Turnover Is rapid enough, how ever, to prevent loss. Grapefruit is now at the middle of th seanon, and coming good. App'-s, especially the locals, are almost a thing of - the past oth at the wholesalers and re-.ail-jrs. S;itrenburgs are almost out, there bein? still a few Wine- saps and Rr.sruf npa'itis. The for mcr are shipped in from Yakima. Vegetables, too, are no drug. Onion Sets Demand Big Judging from the present de mand for onion sets at retailers, the fall onion crop will be small enough to bring a good prie There's really no hope for th grower in this, though, because the selling season for sets is ap parently a little slow they assert, and promises to be brisk if the present weather holds. Onion sets are selling now at 1 '0 cen'a a pound or three pounds for zd cents as a ruie. 4 i Celery Now From South 'Trimmings' Obtainable "Triroirinn!" o'trn make an )therwls (ommnnpiace z m e a 1 ail;hty attractive and because !ouewivps know this, those tnost desired may be found among the ocal grocery rows. incumbers aren t at all sea- on !- now, but Ju?t the same. iiey have a small demand even at thin time a year. That's why wholesalers have secured them all he way from Davenport, la., at 3 price of $5 per dozen. Parsley from California may be had for 75 fonts a dozen whole sale, pnd rreen peppers (though aome people like them for themr--elvir.-s) are high and of good qual ity here at 25 cents a pound whole sale. Irish Spud Low Priced The good -old Irish spud seems to have a peculiar range of prices among the local stores, but ev erywhere the price is lower than usual for this time a year, making them about one of the cheapest of foods. Prices run from 75 cents to $1.00 at one store, to all the way from $1.60 to $1.75 or even as high as $2.00 Burbanks in the main command grade be ing taken into consideration of course. There are also a lot of Yakima, Wash., potatoes on the market here, price differing lit tle from the locals, while the California sweets now run $6.00 a hundred wholesale, while the California sweets none going were SO cents cheaper. ft Vi A , Despite the fact that the Salem 1 territory is one of the greater celery producers in the country the celery that is consumed hr does not come from the field' about here. Labish celery, except for a few hearts that have been in storage has been off the market here fo some weeks and Chula Vista, Cnl. is furnishing this delicacy to lem tables. This is fresh and sell largely in the stalk. The southern variety sells from 15 to 25 cents retail, dependinp upon size and quality, while thf wholesale price is ranging from $4.25 to $7.25 a crate. ,1 Butter, Eggs Prices Firm Following the recent decline ir prices, both butter and epes hnv remained fairly steady on the local markets this week, and one mer chant sees, he believes, a contin uance of present prices unti1 weather conditions become suffio iently warnFTo cause a still lower butter price, . As for the down ward trend nf eggs, dealers say it is just simply a case of too mr eitss, despite a good consumption Epgf: were selling yesterday for 27 cents on up to 32 cer.ts in mr stores, and butter likewise varied a few cents from store to store New Tomato Supply Here Wrren't yon disappointed wher ou ordered" that last tomato salar1 t a lpcn! restaurant, only to have ho p; ripint waitress tell yov1 omatoes were a thing of the past? .Veli. that happens at some rest- !i rants, anyway.

The new crop fror ""alifornia is coming into severa' 'ores, with a price range from to- 6 cents. Favor Local Vegetables Whether the "Buy home pro duce' idea is responsible. Or whether It's just because Oregon produce are naturally be.ter leaves little room for conjecture aa to why Salem housewives are pur chasing more loeal bunch vegeta blea than those shipped In. ' Loeal merchants report that preference Is for loeal bunch vegetables. Carrots, turnips, beets and par snips are all coming in from local gardens in goodly amounts this week and are turning fairly fast at 10 cents straight or three pounds for 25 cento, with the ex ceptions of parsnips which run about five cents. Carrots are" coming from the Portland islands also- and com mand from CO to 90 cents per lug of 30 pounds at the wholesalers, Imperial valley also supplier some arrots at 80 cents to 90 cents a lozen, wholesale. Local radishes of good quality have been on the market for a couple of weeks and are exper iencing a fair demand. These big vegetables retail for 10 cents bunch, in the main.
