As in former years, the Boston Farmers' Produce Market 

 Report, a bulletin giving the wholesale prices on fruits and 

 vegetables received by farmers on the Boston Farmers' Market, 

 has been mimeographed daily, except Saturday, and sent to a 

 mailing list of about 400 farmers, the recipients furnishing 

 postage. On Thursdays the Brighton Livestock Market Re- 

 port is included, as well as hay and grain prices furnished by 

 the Boston Chamber of Commerce. This information is also 

 sent out daily by the Associated Press. The "Manchester 

 Union," the "Lowell Courier Citizen," and the "Morning 

 Mercury," New Bedford, also carry our Boston market news. 



The market reporting service in Boston is maintained 

 throughout the year, while the Worcester and Springfield 

 wholesale produce markets are reported only from July 1 to 

 December 1. Mimeographed sheets are prepared from both of 

 these cities and sent to a mailing list in a similar manner to the 

 custom prevailing in the Boston office. This information is 

 also published in newspapers of both these cities. It is the 

 practice of all of our reporters to summarize the week's market
