Big Tourist Demand
Holds Produce Firm
Eggs Remain Good Price And Vege
tables In Heavy Demand Hogs Go-
,.- ing Up Feed Prices Increase
'
There has been very little change
In the egg market during the past
week. The receipts of Island eggs are
larger, but due to the presence of a
large number of visitors In the city,
the demand is greater. Within a
week or two it Is probable that the
price will drop a .little. The demand
for poultry has been slack during the
past week, but has begun to pick up
now.
(ireen vegetables are very scarce,
and are pe'ling for exceptionally high
prices.
Practically all of the Maui L-Jims
have been sold and there will be no
more until next crop. Dry peas of the
variety grown nov are very hard 10
BeU, and the Division has quite a few
on hand. Due to the scarlty of pota
toes, the lrflaud product is bringing an
exceptionally high price. There Is a
good demand for both potatoes and
onions.
Number one hogs are selling for
13 cents live weight, and some sales
have been reported at higher prices.
There have been several changes In
the prices of feed, most of them are
increases.
Ail the toiuignors to the Division
have .been paid for shipments received
during Uie month oi January. Most
of those payments were made before
the fifteenth. Since the Division has
been; able to pay off consignors
promptly, the number of consignments
received has greatly Increased.
