PRICE OF VEGETABLES
Sir, —On January 9, the retail price of cabbage was Is each; cauliflowers were 2s each. On the same date, your market report states that cabbages and cauliflowers were sold at 2s and 7s respectively a sack. As there is an enormous difference between retail and wholesale prices, I ask: Is your report correct? If so, what is the average count of cabbages and cauliflowers a socalled sack; and what is the percentage in retail profit respectively?—Yours, etc., RIP VAN ’ WINKLE. January 12, 1957. [The president of the Fruiterers’ Association (Mr M. T. Beasley) said that he did not think there would be any point in commenting on this letter.]
