COAL SHORTAGE IN AUSTRIA CAUSE
 OF DEPRESSION

VIENNA.-A wave of pessimism has swept over the country since
 Baron Koranyi, minister of finance, and the food controller returned
 from Paris with empty hands except
 for some small food credits. News papers express regret at the delay of the hoped-for American loan and publish warnings of approaching ex
 haustion of food supplies and of another crisis.
 Depression prevails in business circles. Manufacturers declare that these driblets of loans for food pur- chase are futile and that only cred i its sufficiently large to enable busi- ness to get on it's feet by the pur- chase of coal and raw materials will postpone the complete breakdown of Austria.
 One of the basic causes of the country's paralysis is lack of coal due to failure of the coal supplying countries to live up to their agree ments. For this reason industries lie idle.
 Austria's natural and logical coal supply lies in Bohemia and Prussia, or Upper Siesia. Under present arrangements coal is secured, what there is of it, under agreements between state governments, and upon arrival here is distributed by government officials. The supply is Iso small that virtually all of it is needed for limited railway opera tion, the gas and electric plants and limited private domestic use.
 None remains for industries and no factories except those producing the necessities of life are in con- stant operation. For instance, the great Florisdorf locomotive works, with a capacity of 15O locomotives "a year, have been idle for some weeks, while all Europe is crying for railway motive power. The de- mand for freight cars is insistent, and yet the Graz car factory, with a potential capacity of 300 cars month, produces less than fifty, be- cause coal is not to be had, and consequently they cannot secure wheels, axles and structural iron for bodies.
 Vienna is surrounded with for est of factory stacks, but smoke issues from few of them. This has been true ever since the revolution fifteen months ago. Manufacturers say that if coal can be assured in sufficient quantities, they will man age to find raw materials enough to start with and slowly build up cred

RECOVERING FROM COLD
Packer Says Large Acreage Has
Been Re-Planted.

The Jacksonville correspondent of
the New York Packer says that re-
ports received from all over the state
indicate that there are in many parts
of the state, a considerable amount
of tender truck crops, shipping now,
There has been a large acreage in
the Southern part of the state re-
planted, and growers in the Northern
truck belts of the state are planting
a little heavier than usual.
The movement of the tender truck
crops during the balance of March,
though lighter than it would have
been, had no freeze taken the crops,
will after all be of considerable i'm
portance and will move to a large
extent by express and local freight.
There will of necessity be large part
of this movement go out on consign-
ment. 1t is not likely that buyers
will be able to pay the prices that
growers consider they will be able to
receive for their shipments when sold
at the terminal market by their COM
mission merchant. The shipment of
cabbage, celery and lettuce has been
unaffected and is not considered in
this review of the crop movement.
There is a great scarcity of bean crop
and it is not likely that the bean crop,
at any time during the season will
fill the demand even at the high |
prices now prevailing.
There is a large scattered acreage |
of peppers, and owing to the ability
of the pepper plant, to large extent
ct least, to TeCuperate from frost
damage, it seems altogether likely |
that the supply of the old crop com
ing from Southern and Central Flor
ida. together with the new crop, from
the more Northern sections, which
will begin to move during the latter
part of April, will be sufficient to
almost meet the requirements Of the
trade.
The eggplant crop is very light and
it is not anticipated that the supply &
will at any time during the season
catch up with the demand, a heavy =
.aplanting has been done in tomatoes,
which if nothing further happens, :
should see a heavier movement dur

hat the May movement will be as .
great, as it would have been had :
here been no freeze. Heavy rains .
Turing May have been a deciding
