Apple Market Summary Remains Mixed at Appalachian Points
Demand was mixed on Tuesday as some shippers and brokers reported little activity while others handled a fair amount. The week between Christmas and New Year’s is typically slow, yet city wholesalers cleared stocks bought for the holiday and remain cautious about new purchases. Overall, no large sales were seen, but postholiday demand suggests a healthy shipper outlook.
