The purpose of this study is to investigate the following problems. First, what were the conditions of the modernization of the perishable food market in Japan? Secondly, how did the wholesalers' function change in the process of the establishment of the central wholesale market? Thirdly, what influences were exerted by the central wholesale market on the marketing in producing areas or in the retail market? The conditions of modernization of the perishable food market were developed by the establishment of the industrial capital, concentration of population in the big cities, and increasing demand for perishable food in the period from the end of Meiji to the biginning of Taisho. In this period the production of fruits and vegetables developed on a commercial basis, and specialized retailers selling perishable food were formed in big cities. Under these conditions premodern activities in transaction by wholesalers gradually deminished. In 1923 a public law "the Central Wholesale Market Act" was enacted. Moderu wholesale facilities were provided by the public investment in major big cities. In these newly-built public institutions wholesalers and middlemen started transactions of perishable food. The main function of the central who-lesale market was adjustment of supply and demand, forming equilibrium prices in wholesaling. The principles of sale there consisted in auction and the official announcement of wholesale prices. Such a modernization of wholesale market led to the promotion of the development of cooperative shipment in producing areas and the retail market of perishable food.
