POTATO SUPPLY PLENTY
IN BALTIMORE MARKET
McCormicks and Cobblers, How

BALTIMORE, Md, November l.
The supply of white potatoes is ample
for present trade wants and prices
continue in buyers favor. with the
exception of Maryland and Virginia
McCormacks and Cobblers which are
being sought after for storing pur-
poses. Under a fair demand and
lighter offerings of desirable stock
sweets and yams show a slight in

stringless and lima beans are all
in good demand at top prices, but
tomatoes. peppers and turnips are
coming in freely and under only a
fair demand values are easy.
There is a fair demand for fancy,
soft, table grades of apples, but there
il an abundant supply of nearby
loose apples coming in and the out
ward movement is only moderate.
New York celery and cabbage are in
excessive supply and this naturally
tends to keep the nearby product
lower. The market is fair for nearby
pears and Of the better grades there
Is no surplus.
The warm weather of the past week
has been against the live poultry
market. but with the advent of cooler
weather. which Is expected next week,
the inquiry for poultry of all kinds
should improve. and especially for
turkeys, but choice, heavy birds are
not attracting any attention. Small.
underweight turkeys are hard to
move at any price. On young and
heavyweight old chickens the market
IL steady with no surplus of desirable
stock in the daily receipts. Ducks are
in ample supply and only heavy
ducks ind ready sale. Young guinea
fowl weighing over one and a half
pounds apiece are in good demand.
1t is hard to secure sufficient choice
fresh eggs to satisfy the constant
demand for such eggs that is in evil
dence. and, as consequence, the

are being used to supply a good many

American Beet Should Improve.

American Beet Sugar Company should
benefit from an increased production
this year, estimated at 80 per cent over
last year, and an increased price for
their new crop. American Sugar Refin-
ing Company should benefit from its in
vestments in beet sugar companies as
well as from its large refining opera
tions. The export and domestic demand
for sugar promises to tax the capacity
of reflneries.
Several OF the sugar companies have
stock dividend possibilities, in case Of
favorable decision by the Supreme Court
in the pending case Of Macomber We.
Eisner. which will establish the ques-
ton Of taxability Of stock dividends as
income.
Among such companies are Cuban
American Sugar Company, National
Sugar Refining Company and Guantan-
amo Sugar Company. These three COM
panies are all much undercapitalized.
According to good opinion, National
Sugar may earn $4,000, 900 after taxes
this year, and its assets after giving
effect to this years earnings are valued
at largely in excess Of twice its $4,000
600 capital stock. Cuban-Amer1can
Sugar as of September 80 this year is
understood to have had a profit and loss
surplus of more than 0,000, 900, COM
pared with $9,9S9.500 common. Guam
tanamo Sugar Company's net assets are
also valued at more than twice the par
value of its $4,000 900 stock.

Cuban Crop Selling at Prices
Above Equalization
Boards Figures.
From the Wall street Journol.

There has been good investment
buying of the sugar stocks, both list
ed and unlisted. in the last few days.
This has been partly influenced by
the announcement of increased prices
for new-crop Cuban sugars and partly
by the increasing probability that
government control of the industry
will cease this year. President Ia
briskie of the Sugar Equalization
Board has just announced that 1t Is
too late to buy the remainder OF the

sonable price.
Present prices for new-crop Cuban
sugar show an advance of from 2
cents to ~ cents a pound over the
price of 5k cents paid by the Sugar
Equalization Board for the Cuban
crop for the season just ended. The
price of sig cents represented an ad-
vance of nine-tenths of a cent a pound
over the price paid for the 1s17-191S
crop. which was $50 f. o. b. Cuba.

throughout the session the demand for
