Local Produce Market

Some very nice local grown cab bage and green peas are coming on the market now.
 The range in the price of alfalfa hay is large, dealers paying from S25 to S32 per ton. Twenty-eight dollars however, is the standard price and is the maximum most dealers are paying for first class alfalfa hay. Very little hay is com ing on the market now and the de- mand is unusually small for, owing to the high price, every substitute available is being used.

to Start Sept. 80.

"One hundred and twenty-five francs
for a bed sheet"-that Is one of many
advertisements which, on the official
word OF the American Red Cross has
been appearing recently in Belgian news
papers, the Red Cross citing the adver-
tisement to give America some notion Of
the need for the big drive which will be
here for the destitute French and Bel
CLANS.
So great IL the scarcity of garments
In the devastated regions that sufferers
under the heel of the German are will

have to pay as high as $25. as the ad-
vertisement shows. for a sheet, which
Immediately Is dyed and made into skirts
for women.

tons Of garments, and It Is expected by
the Red Cross that New York will do
nate much more than this amount Will
lam @. Broadway has organized an eff
Client committee for the drive and Is
chairman of a special committee that
covers the wholesale cotton goods trade.
This committee already has raised
good sized sum for expenses, so that the
Red Cross treasury will not be called
upon to pay the bills OF the drive.
In lower Manhattan large boxes will
be placed In the stores as receptacles for
the donations Of clothing From these
boxes collections will be made by the
Red Cross delivery service and the cloth
ing taken to a general storehouse for
Weighing and packing. Clothing for
men. women and children is wanted, re-
CARELESS Of the kind or size of the gar
ment, the only condition being that the
clothes will be of strong material that
will keep out the cold.
The New York County Chapter OF the
Red Cross Is going to be greatly disap-
pointed II II does not realize its ex-
pectations of collecting at least 500 tons
Of clothing here. Five thousand tons are
needed altogether. In the occupied re-
gions of France and Belgium. even those
who have money, as the advertisements
show. are In desperate need of the cloth
ing that cannot be obtained. They are
wearing suits and dresses made from
floor sacks and burlap-when they can
get even those coarse materials-and
shoes fashioned from odd bits of old car
pet. The blankets. sheets and table
cloths formerly used now are unobtain-
able.
A report compiled by the American
Red Cross and given out officially yes
terday reveals that necessities are al
most impossible to obtain at any price
Figures show that the prices of some
necessities have gone up in the occupied
region as high as 1850 per cent, since
1914. Cotton thread is sold no longer
by the spool. but by the foot or yard
So frightful are the conditions In recent
days that Chairman Herbert Hoover
of the Commission for Relief of Bel
GUM asked the Red Cross to institute
the second drive for clothing. a work
which the Red Cross will launch with
its customary effectiveness one week from
tomorrow, under the direction of Ancell
