Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Vegetable Situation, Vol. 70: September 1943
All vegetables have sold, on an average, at a materially higher level this season than last, but prices for some have advanced much more than for others. Temporary ceilings were placed on the following fresh vegetables at levels prevailing during specified periods between February 18 and EH Tomatoes. Snap beans, carrots, cabbage, green peas, lettuce, and spinach. Specific temporary ceilings later were established at certain terminal markets. In July, temporary ceilings on cabbage and lettuce were replaced by more perma nent ceilings. These ceilings resulted in a roll-back from early July levels of about 25 percent in the price of lettuce and 50 percent in the price of cabbage. Sales of the late 19h2, and i9h} onion crops also have been made under price-ceiling regulations. The greatest increases in prices for fresh vege tables this season, compared with 19h2, have been in those vegetables not under price-ceiling regulations. Supplies of cabbage this fall are expected to be about as large as a year ago. The late domestic crop is estimated to be about 7 percent larger than last year, and the indicated fall acreage of cabbage is 19 percent above that of l9h2. The tonnage of late Danish cabbage, however, may be about 11 percent smaller this season than last. Wholesale prices for cabbage on the terminal markets are remaining at about the same level from week to week.
