VEGETABLES HIT
BY HARD FROST
Potatoes and Tomatoes Are
Nearly Harvested, So Losses
Are Not Serious.

A heavy frost last night Is believed
to have seriously affected growing
vegetables. 1t was reported on the
market line that tomatoe plants were
seriously affected and that potatoes In
low ground also suffered.
1t is so late in the season, however,
that damage to tomato plants will not
mean a great loss to growers, many
growers having already gathered their
crops OF the green vegetables and put
them under glass or indoors to ripen.
Several varieties Of late vegetables
probably were affected, however. and
preparations are in progress to protect
crops from the cold weather reported
due in the near future.
Liberal supplies of potatoes continue
TO come from Michigan. while supplies
Of sweet potatoes from North Caro-
lima. Maryland and Virginia are only
moderate.
Today's prices for most commodities
We're substantially the same as those
reported vest erdaV.
