Two million dollars worth of per-
ishablc fruits and vegetables are in
danger Of rotting unless they are
moved from river docks and holds of
vessels, Edward l.. Goodsell a director
of the Fruit Auction Company, said
yesterday.
Mr. Goodsel declared that sleven
ships were already in the harbor with
cargoes of fruits and vegetables from
South American and south European
countries, while ten more ships were
due here within three days.
"The situation requires heroic meas
urcs," Mr.. Goodsell said last night.
"By tomorrow morning we will have
taken steps which will insure the mar-
kcting of some of the perishablcs."
The parcel post Isl being used to take
the place of the railway express service

When these commodities are ent by
express they are insured against loss
Trough handling, but by parcel post
the loss must be carried by the ship
per or receiver. With eggs at ninety
cents dozen, dealers are not disposed
to incur losses through breakage. AS a
result only few cases of eggs are
being sent by mail. Z
Rail Receipts Higher
The flow of other commodities into
the city is normal, reports showed. The
receipts by rail have been slightly
higher than normal to make up for the
decline by water. Prices have not
shown any effect Of the strike.
Arthur Williams, Federal Food Ad-
ministrator, announced yesterday that
fresh creamery butter and rice had
advanced 2.13 cents since the publi-
cation Of the lastsprice list on Sat
urday. Five items, beans, plain and
stringless, canned corn, corn meal and
potatoes show decrease of 1923 cents,
making the net difference in prices
an increase of 8 cents.
The reduction in the milk supply is
given as the reason for the advance
in the price of butter. A committee Of
wholesale butter, egg and cheese deal
ers wrote yesterday to William Eel
| INVc7 4uoI gan, pteSiucUC OIL tne Mer-
chants Association, asking him to act

One of the important features is the proposal to change
