FOR WEEK OPENS
BRISKLY ON MORRIS AVENUE

Business began yesterday on Morris
avenue with a brisk demand in most
lines. Large shipments of potatoes, cab
bage and poultry were among receipts.
The indication is that business for today
will also be quite heavy.
The crop of Alabama peaches is said
to be almost exhausted, but shipments
continue to arrive from Tennessee, Mis-
souri, and parts of northern Alabama.
Watermelons continue plentiful, but the
consumption is said to be rather light at
the present time. Catalogues are being
received from Tennessee. and the demand
is quite good.
The Birmingham market is well stocked
in most commodities, and dealers express
renewed confidence in regard to the mer-
camille situation.
The fall and winter months are ex-
pected to be excellent for the produce
business here. Wholesalers state that
1t is in these seasons that a good pro1it
is made for 1t is then that the most
produce is shipped to the city. The gem
eral sentiment among wholesalers is that
little If any gain is to be had by handling
homegrown fruits and vegetables on uc-
count of the strenuous competition of the
farmer and huckster.
Quotations for today are as follows.

became large enough to bring about a
reaction. In the afternoon peace rumors
were circulated and while they were
vague they had considerable effect. the

While weather reports from the belt
We're in the main favorable, there were
accounts which indicated deterioration
