WEEKLY VEGETABLE
AND FRUIT REVIEW

Chicago. May 25.-A decrease in
carload lot movement of fruits and
vegeta bIes compared with the prev
ious week, : but an increase of 20
per cent over the same period last
year, was shown in the report Of
the United States bureau of markets,
issued today for the week ending
May 20 The decrease was largely
due to lighter shipments of straw
berries, onions, potatoes, sweet po-
tatoes and lettuce, but 1t was
strengthened by increased ship
ments of watermelons. Most lines,
including Texas Bermuda onions,
showed lower prices but new pota-
toes were sold slightly higher.
Shipments of new potatoes from
all sections totalled 200 cars less
than the previous week because of
the decrease in movements Of Flor
ida stocks. Shipments of old pota-
toes also decreased. Florida
Spaulding Rose sold for Sc and $3.50
a barrel, an advance OF from % to
rs cents. Other lines showed cor
responding gains.
Shipment of onions from Texas
decreased, while a slight increase
was noticed in California ship
ments. Although prices declined
they began to recover at the close of
the week.

Bond Market
BY STUART p WEST

New York. May 25.-Interest in
the bond market shifted today from
the ordinary dealings to the sue
cessful sale of new capital issues.
The largest piece of fresh financ-
ing was an offering of s35 900, 900
New England Telephone and Tele-
graph company first mortgage 80
year percent gold bonds series A
The issue price was 9712 and in
terest, yielding over SIS percent.
j. P. Morgan and company, the
syndicate gers,~announced the
immediate absorption of the bonds.
They are callabIe at 100 on or after
June 1. -1949. and are secured rat
ably with the company's outstand-
ing 81, 10000 debentures by a
first mortgage covering valuable
property in four New England
states. The American Telephone
and Telegraph company through
majority stock owners controls con-
trolls the New England company.
The next largest was another pub
lie utility enterprise. 1t was the
$S,000,000 Brooklyn Union Gas
Company issue of first lien and re-
funding mortgage six percent gold
bonds series A due in 1947. The
bonds are non-redeemable prior to
maturity. They were sold at 1875
and interest to yield SIS percent.
Another public utility-the Missis-
sippi Valley Power Company-has
sold through New York bankers
$40O,0 900 of it's series A first mort
gage gold bonds.
The railway section of the bond
market remained the most active,
but there were no features. The
speculative issues sold off fraction
ally reflecting the 10 percent
freight rate cut New York rail-
ways adjustment SIS lost point.
Frisco incomes, Chicago and East

the higher priced issues, Union Pa

division Chile Copper 6's declined
slightly, Consolidated Gas rs sank
again and Dupont TVS advanced
rather sharply Trading in this
group as a whole was irregular.
Liberty bonds were steady and so
were the foreign government ex-
ternal loans for the most part.

MAY wheat IN
scent BREAK;
CORN AFFECTED
(By Consolidated Press. }

Chicago, May 25.-It was gener-
ally believed that the May wheat
deal is over. There were So, 900
bushels of wheat delivered 10 May
longs before the market opened and
no one seemed to want to finance
the cash wheat, most of it coming
out in the pit again. This liquida-
ton caused a break of nearly 3
cents from the close of the day be-
fore. Later Armour bought the
wheat, checking the decline and
caused some recovery. The de-
ferred futures were depressed by
the action of the May but there was
havy covering by shorts on the
break and this held the losses
down to narrow limits. Weather
and crop news was generally favor
able. Receipts continued heavy.
Milling demand for wheat is quiet
and the demand for export wheat
was confined to little wheat for
nearby shipment from Germany.
Cables were lower with America.
Argentine shipments were about the
same as week ago.
Corn was depressed by the break
in wheat. There was selling by
commission houses and locals
early. Later prices recovered much
OF the los son buying of July by
an export house and covering by
local shorts. The demand for cash
corn was quiet both for domestic
and export account.
Oats held well. There was a lit
tie break at the outset but a re-
covery was noted when shorts at
tempted to cover. There was a
good demand for cash oats in evil
dence.
Provisions were quiet with trade
mostly in lard. Prices were firmef
with hogs.
Wheat closed at sc to &c lower;
May, 1-2S to 1889; July, 1.21% to
1217s; September, G.17H to lis.
Corn closed unchanged to &c

DryGoods Market
BY STUART p. WEST
Copyright. I9zz.I

New York, May 25.-Purchase of
cotton cloths for delivery in the
midsummer months was slightly
more apparent in the drysgoods
market today. The volume of trade
in the standard print cloth con-
structions was not large but prices
were maintained in current levels at
first hands. Sheetings also were
dull but firm. Orders for export
are in evidence but bids of buyers
were very conservative. Pajama
checks continued in demand at firm
figures. Wide drills were well TAX
en-. The silk market maintained its
recent advance and the tone was
strong in reflection of activity in
the Orient. Some buying for fu-
ture delivery was in evidence.
WOOL.
Boston. May 25.-Trading in the
wool market here maintained its
firm tone today with sentiment in
fiuenced by the high range of
prices established in Texas and
Oregon. Predictions are coming
from Texas that the prices around
90 cents a pound for 12 months
"OoI at san AuSeIO may Ue du-
vanced to SO cents or higher at the
kerrville auctions. Manufacturers
declare prices have reached a point
where they will check buying if ad-
vancad again but dealers disagree
with the view. The sale of the
Stansfield clip in Oregon amount
ing roughly to 1,750,000 pounds at
35 cents in the grease also had a
strengthening effect on prices

Curb Market
By STUART p. WEST
Copyright, 1922.'

New York, May 25-Trading on
the New York Curb market today
was less active and price move
ments generally were irregular.
Commission house business, how
ever, was again on a fairly large
scale. Petroleum stocks continued
the important features of the trad
ing, especially the Standard Oil
issues. Prairie Pipe Line was in
urgent demand and moved up
about 10 points in response to the
statement of earnings showing net
after all charges for 1921 equiva-
lent to S5S.37 share on the capital
stock. Imperial Oil of Canada
moved up a fraction. Standard Oil
of Kentucky early in the session
was in liberal supply and yielded
over points, later regaining d
good part of the loss. Standard
Oil of Indiana was about steady
Independent oil issues were ir-
regular with Kirby Petroleum and
International Petroleum both sell
ing off fractionally. Fensland Oil
was firm. Price movements in the
industrials were also lower. Philip
Morris and Schultz Stores were
under pressure and suffered fraC-
tional losses. Tobacco Products
exports was strong and higher
Radio issues were in strong de-
mand Amalgamated Leather was
easier and inclined to sag on profit
taking.
Mining stocks were firm. indie
pendence Lead was again the fea-
ture in this group, selling up to
new high. Mother Lode Coalition
was fairly active and slightly high
er. Boston and Montana issues
were exceptions and were again
under pressure.

and Chicago Great Western was an
effort in speculative quarters to
arouse interest in possible railway
mergers.
The moves in the industrial sec
ton were likewise mostly of the
pool variety. 1t was significant of
the change in the general market
position that these professional &C
tivities conferred again upon spe-
cialties easy to put up without the
aid of outside buying power.

Motive That Should Have
Caused Him to Shoot Self
By The Associated Press.)

San Francisco, April i1.-An
army board of inquiry into the
death of Major Frank w. Duryea
in his quarters here today found
that 1t was a case of suicide. but
learned nothing Of any motive thai
should have caused the officer to
shoot himself.
Duryea, member of a well
known New York family, was
son of General Hiram Duryea,
zouave leader in the civil war. He
served two years overseas in the
ordnance department and had been
stationed at Ninth army corps area
headquarters hero about q year IN
the finance department.,
His immediate superior, Colonel
e. p. Orton, said there were no
irregularities in his accounts and
declared his health to be good eX-
cept for a slight illness yesterday.
The body is being held here
pending instructions from rela-
tives. Major Duryea leaves a wild
ow and son in New York city.
His quarters were in the home Of
Major John NJ. True at the Pre-
sidio military reservation. Major
