MANY POTATOES REACH
BALTIMORE BY TRUCK
Market Shows Decline in Values,
With Slow Demand at
High Prices.

BALTIMORE. Md. April "a (Spe-
ciaD.-Receipts of white potatoes by
week and the market shows a decline
in values. Despite a fair demand for
potatoes showing good quality, the
general movement is slow at the high
prices prevailing. The market for
sweets and vans is a shade f1rmer
under a good movement and lighter
arrivals.
Native kale and spinach were re-
ceived this week and have caused a
big drop in the price Of the Norfolk
varieties, which are selling as low as
% cents a barrel for the former and
~ for the latter. Rhuharb and
spring onions are also new arrivals
meeting with ready sale at good
prices. Receipts of eggs are running
fairly liberal from day to day and
there is now a fair inquiry from
packers and cold storage operators
The local consumption demand is also
fairly constant, so that the arrivals
day to day, making prompt shipments
advisable.
In the live poultry market there is
good demand for choice young chick
ems in good condition. Preference is
shown for small winter chickens ave-
raging under two pounds apiece, which
are bringing an attractive premium
over the general run of stock Spring
ers are also in demand and find ready
sale at prices as high as Is cents a
pound.
Old hens are in ample supply and
easier. Indications point to an in
crease in the receipts Of ducks, now
that the laying season Is about over,
hence the tendency on ducks is lower;
Choice young guinea fowl are in
good demand.
The live stock market rules firm
and fairly active. Beef cattle re-
ceipts are moderate of the better
grades of cattle. and there is a good
demand for this sort, both on the
wharf and at the stock yards Re-
ceipts of calves are light, especially
OF choice veals. for which a good and
constant demand prevails. Choice
lambs and nice fat sheep also are
scarce, owing to light receipts A
good demand is needed for spring
flambs-that is. stock weighing around
thirty-five and forty pounds Re-
ceipts so far have been very light.

BETTER STEEL MARKET;
OTHER METALS QUIET

NEW YORK, April PA spark OF
life was put into the steel industry
the past week as freight movements
became more active and congestion
of mill yards and warehouses was
relieved somewhat by shipments to
crippled consumers who were closed
down by railroad embargoes caused
by the strike. Steel production re-
mains at a low standard.
Coal and coke deliveries are on the
way. but fuel will be, insufficient to
speed up output for several weeks TO
come. Holland is actively in the mar
ket for finished steel, pumps and ma
chinery, as it's coal-consuming in
dustries are being converted to oil
fuel
Heavy Demand for Sheets.
The demand Is heavy for sheets by
automobile builders. who are quoted
$50 mill for blue annealed. Sheet
bars are selling at from $50 to $50
and Bessemer, SIS to $50. Producers
are so tightly sold up that new bust
ness is hard to place.
Demand and inquiries have in
creased for pig iron. foundry iron.
ferromanganese and coke. Production
still is limited by light coke receipts.
Inc car supply Is Dut bO per cent OF
normal. and freight congestion pre-
vents speeding up of production. Coke
is being contracted for last half of
SO to $11. as consumers are anxious
to cover their requirements.
The copper market has been quiet
all week. Outside prices range from
1SA cents to 10 cents for spot and
second quarter. Producers quote 19k
cents. Interpretation caused by
the railroad strike at Butte adds
Arm undertohe to the market.
Other Metals Quoted.
Tin has passed through a dull week
and is now ruling at So cents for spot,
as compared with 63N cents on Mon
day. Demand for nearby metal in
creased with the end of the railroad
strike, but prompt delivery is scarce
Oh-month shipments are quoted at 81
cents. The shortage of tin is in
creasing.

Zinc was the weakest of the nom
ferrous metals, hitting a low level
for the month on absence of buyers

port.

Abroad the recent stiffening of the

extended to the orient, as indicated by
advices from Japan.

small holders.
One Surprising Revelation.
In the stock market the most sur
