Record crowd at New Westminster market amid rain spoilage
A large Friday attendance at the New Westminster weekly market drew buyers and sellers from Fra ser Valley as heavy rains kept farmers from work. White vendors faced price competition from Chinese sellers, with beans and peas at five cents, Chinese greens at two and a half, and celery at five cents a bunch. Fresh fruit, meats, eggs, and dairy showed varied but steady prices, while new items like sweet corn and apple jelly appeared on the stalls.
