stated that there are now rolling un-
sold a total Of 5eventy-five carloads
Of cbbage.
The order, according to the an

to prevent the swamPing Of the
market with cabbage for which
there is no demand just at present,
and while il includes only the mem
bership Of the organization II is
pointed out that if non-members

the worst snowstorm in great
many records. This situation, it in

vices reaching Brownsville, means
that deliveries of foods to homes has
been stopped. and also means that
the housewife is unable TO get out
and do the normal buying.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. Is
Over twenty-four hours of snow had
tonight covered the Middle Atlantic
section, with Washington as a CEN
ter, from the depth Of one foot to
nearly thirty inches. 1t caused the
suspension Of practically al business

The weather bureau said that the

was exceeded in depth only by the
long-remembered blizzard Of Febru-

Gem Markets More Active

Marked hrmness characteri1cs the
European markets for precious stones.
according to importers. In many in
stances prices on shipments of gems
arriving hero are slightly higher than
was the case month or so ago This
upward tendency Of values ia not due
to any particular scarcity, importers
believed, but rather to the awakening
of Europeans to the realization that
prices generally were unduly low.
Especially In diamonds is strength
pronounced. The trend of prices in
the last several months has attained
an approciable percentage of advance.
This favorable course of values has
been conductive to greater optimism
among dealers, and the belief now prs-
walls that the present movement will
continue, carrying prices to much
higher levels.
