GARDEN TRUCK PLENTIFUL

Washington, July 26.-Fruits, vege-
tables and all forms of garden truck are
now on markets in supplies between
10 to is per cent greater than during
same period In 1919, the United states
bureau of markets reported today. The
movement to consuming markets by
railroads, the bureau estimates, Is now
two thousand cars a day. and as much
more normally comes to the larger CEN
tiers by truck and local haulage.
Contrary to the general impression
among consumers the bureau de-
clared, wholesale prices of fruits and
vegetables are not now higher than
last year. Potatoes are an important
exception, being still about 50 per barrel
higher than in most cities a year ago"

SIBERIANS HAVE PLENTY
 OF THE RUSSIAN MONEY

Victor Jacobson, better known as the "Scurvy Kid" has arrived in Ne mana with a team of fifteen dagS and a sleigh load of old ivory and curlo5 which he gathered during the past sea son along the North Alaska and St. berian coasts, where he was engage | in trading during the greater part ot the summer. He was accompanied | on the trip by Al NOstrum, also aa old-timer of the Interior country, amt they were sixty days en route.
 Jacobson, who spent a large part of last winter in the government hos pital with broken leg, left for the lower country in small boat shortly after the opening of navigation, ant upon arrival at Nome signed on as a member of the gas schooner Arctic, a mail boat plying between St. Michaei and points in the far North, beyond Dering. Later he transferred to the trader Alaskan and crossed over to the Siberian side, where he did con- siderable trading with the Russians at Anadir. East Cape, Blubber Bay and other points. He was at Ansdir when the news came of the fountc;- ing of the Belvedere.
 There are three Americans at Ana dir, he says, one of them being Prof I.ampe, formerly a violinist of Nome, who is now in charge of a large trat- ing post and doing we'll. The Rus sianS he met along the coast were very friendly and hospitable and easy to trade with. They do the trading with the natives of the interior and sell to the trading schooners which visit the coast.
 Arrivals on the Siberian coast ar, discouraged from going into the 'n, terior, because of the unsettled con. ditionS arising from an unstable g1v- ernment.
 Jacobsen says he saw all kinds ot Russian money on the coast, and that none of it has much value. Eighty Si- berians rubleS, for instance, have ,h" value of one American dollar; Keren' sky rubles exchange on the basis of about 3S for dollar; the czar rubleS, 20 for a dollar, and the Ko(chaN money has no value at all. Money is very plentiful at Anadir, and the POO people there seem to be very

prosperous in real money. The like gold, and have considerable of it. The summer population of Anadir is about double that of the winter.
 Much of the ivory which Jacobson obtained on the American coast he took to Siberia to have it made into novelties, the natives on the Russian side being much more skillful in cut ting. He says that many of the oil natives who formerly cut ivory in the Nome district were killed off by inc influenza epidemic.
 Liquor on the Siberian side is very plentiful, Jacobson says. All kinds of booze is obtainable, from lager beer to the best Scotch, there apparently being no restrictions against the traf- fife.
 Jacobson plans to return to Bering sea in the spring, and says he will sail on boat of his own during tte coming summer.
