Chicago vendors report Texas cabbage dominates the market as Wisconsin and eastern cabbage remain scarce. Heavy offerings push prices down to about 26 1/2 to 27 dollars per ton or around 1.50 per barrel, while freight and handling costs erode profits for growers and dealers. Some early week optimism saw prices near 1.60 per barrel but larger supplies halted gains and eastern operators cannot match New York state quotes.
