Talmud for Makhshirin 2:6

מָצָא בָהּ יָרָק נִמְכָּר, אִם רֹב נָכְרִים, לוֹקֵחַ מִיָּד. וְאִם רֹב יִשְׂרָאֵל, יַמְתִּין כְּדֵי שֶׁיָּבֹאוּ מִמָּקוֹם קָרוֹב. מֶחֱצָה לְמֶחֱצָה, יַמְתִּין כְּדֵי שֶׁיָּבֹאוּ מִמָּקוֹם קָרוֹב. וְאִם יֶשׁ בּוֹ רָשׁוּת, לוֹקֵחַ מִיָּד:

[If] one found vegetables [picked on Shabbat] being sold there [the city]: If most [of the residents] are gentiles one may buy [them] immediately [after Shabbat]; and if the majority are Jews one must wait [the time it takes for the produce] to come from a distant place; [and if] it is half and half one must wait [the time it takes for the produce] to come from a distant place. And if there are officials there one may buy immediately.
