String beans attract attention with higher prices as crops mature early. Best packs rise to 70 cents, yet buyers still order freely. Tomatoes sell steadily with no price gains. Domestic sardines trade unsettled with prices down to 4.50 per quarter oil, buyers cautious and avoiding excess orders. Packers reject patching up the combination, aiming for a do or die policy.
