APPLE AND POTATO
SUPPLIES LIBERAL
Weaker Condition of Butter
Market Reported Today.
Prices Unchanged.

Liberal supplies of apples and pota'
toes were interesting features of to-
days wholesale market. Because Of
the reported short crop of apples in
nearby sections of Maryland and Vir'
ginia, it is stated. dealers had antie-
ipated a scarcity of the popular ffult
and high prices.
Dealers think it improbable that
prices will be as cheap this Fan ana
Winter as they were a year ago, now
ever, when the fruit was so pleptiful
that many growers permitted the tax
ing Of apples from their farms without
charge.
Fancy box stock from the Northwest
sold at prices ranging from 50 TO &4.oo
a box, while busheS baskets or the
Maryland, Virginia and Delaware fruit
sold from $3.50 to SO, windfalls bring

whites, sold at 1925, few extra select
ed bringing a slightly higher price.
