Previous prices ruled for general offer- ings of Plums and Prunes in smail packages. but occasional lots of desirable varieties soid for shipping at prices ranging from 75¢ to 90c per crate. The canners were too busy with Pears to pay much attention to Plums, and as a result there was a heavy accumulation of all varieties lying around the market.
