Fruit and Vegetable Prices Crash at Milwaukee Market
Wholesale fruit and vegetable prices fell sharply at the Milwaukee market yesterday in what commission merchants called a severe market crash. Arthur Anderson of Jelk Anderson Co said the drop was one of the most sensational he has seen in 20 years, possibly from buyers underestimating production. Prices for apricots, plums, grapefruit, lettuce, and tomatoes plunged, with some items dropping to a fraction of prior figures while potatoes remained firmer.
