HESSIAN FLY NEWS

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, May 14.-Increasing re-
ports of Hessian fly danger in KAN
sas and of unfavorable crop prospects
in Canada gave wheat an early
upward slant today. Strength of corn
was also a buliish factor. July and
September corn reaching the highest
prices yet this season. Opening un-
changed to "a higher. wheat later
showed gains all around. Corn started
1s off to Il up, and then made sharp
general advance, September rising to
we'll above 80 cents, with oats and
provisions firmer.
Kansas reports at hand today said
indications are that this will be the
worst Hessian fly year since 1915. 1t
was asserted conditions are such that
wheat straws will fall from now until
harvest, but that the bulk of the DAM
age will show in the next two weeks.
One Chicago crop expert, telegraph
ing from Hutchinson, kans, today,
said that from Hutchinson to Anthony
the Hessian fly is very numerous,
many fields being as badly infested
as he had ever seen. Another au-
thority wired that the Hessian fly is
present over a large territory, and
that extensive damage is possible, but
that definite results cannot be deter
mined at this time.

Liberal supplies of asparagus, one
of the best sellers in the vegetable
market, are reported. There is some
homegrown stock being received, but
most Of the supplies are from Eastern
Shore of Maryland, North Carolina
and Virginia. Prices depend entirely
upon size and condition of the vege-
table.
String and stringless beans are
being received in large quantities
frop Florida. Georgia and South
Carolina, and only a moderate demand
for the vegetable has made the market
dull and prices cheap.
Peas from growers in the Norfolk.
Va, section have appeared in the local
market, and North and South Carolina
growers also are shipping the product
here. A moderate demand for mod
crate receipts made the market steady
the past few days.
Florida growers are furnishing
local dealers most of the tomatoes
that are being offered to the trade.
This mornings market was reported
slightly weaker. Prices ranged from
SITS to S3.25
Only moderate or light supplies of
other early vegetables We're reported,
but receipts were ample to supply
demands at prevailing prices.
Buyers were on hand early this
morning to get first pick of products,
more especially products of nearby
farms and truck gardens. Prices of
most commodities were substantially
the same as prices quoted at the close
of yesterdays market.

Ships Coming In.

. :
1t was reported this morning that
four or five ships from the tropics
are headed in the direction of Balti-
more. each vessel containing approx
mately $4,000 biinches of the popular
fruit. Demand for bananas has been
much greater the past few days, it is
stated. because strawberries have not
been so plentiful and oranges are
gradually getting scarce and higher.
Pineapples, pines" as they are
called by dealers, are gradually get
ting more plentiful and there is a
good demand for them. They are
chiefly from Cuba and Porto Rico,
the Porto Rican fruit being regarded
the better. Prices cover wide
range, depending upon size and con-
dition.
Apples are being received in much
smaller quantities than heretofore,
light supplies, moderate demand and
steady market being reported by the
Agriculture Department service. No.
/ Virginia Winesaps, 21a-inch up.

Strawberry growers in North Caro-

finue to supply the luscious fruit to
the local market. Supplies the past
few days have been only moderately
large, however, and a moderate de-
mand made the market continue
steady. North Carolina berries. ordi-
nary quality and condition, sold at
low as 10 cents box. while the fruit
from the Norfolk section brought
from 20 to 80 cents, most of them SELL

Butter and Eggs Weak.

Weakened conditions of the butter
and egg market We're reported during
the week, and the egg market prom
ises to close weak at % cents fer cur
rent receipts. 1t has been surprising
to dealers that egg prices have re-
mained low for so long period.
Weather conditions have helped the
market considerably, it is stated, pre-
venting the usual heavy losses result
ing from Gambling.
Receipts of the hennery product
continue in quantities in excess of de-
rnands, dealers report, and the surplus
stock is being stored for next Winters
trade. Dealers say the eggs put away
thus far this season probably We're in
much better condition than during
past years, when warmer weather pre-
vailed. Butter prices have dropped
several cents the past week or 10 days.
Fruit dealers are depending largely
upon bananas to satisfy the demands
for fruit. The tropical fruit has not
been so plentiful or cheap this week,
dealers state, but additional receipts
promise to lower prices the coming

Nearby Farms Raising
Plenty of Fowls This Sea-

Local dealers are deeply interested
in the prospects for supplies Of poil-
try the coming season. and those who
have Visited nearby sections of Mary
land and Virginia the past few days
have submitted favorable reports.
II took trip through the northern
neck of Virginia this week." remark
ed one of the dealers, 'and it appear
ed to me as if almost everybody had
quit farming and gone to raising
chickens. 1t appeared as if there was
a hennery on every farm.
ut seems certain that there Will be
no scarcity of chickens the coming
Summer" the dealer added, and
there also seems to be no possibility
that high prices will prevail.
Spring chickens received here the
past two weeks were not very large
according to reports, but much larger
ones have been received the past lew
days. Such chickens always are in de-
mand during the Spring season, the
heaviest demand coming about the
Fourth of July holiday season.
Evening star., 1927-05-14
Turkey Supply Plentiful.

Dealers are continuing to receive a
plentiful supply of turkeys from the
nearby States. and they also are draw
ing upon frozen supplies to meet de-
mands. There still is fairly good de-
mand for the king fowl for home, ho-
tel and restaurant consumption.
Top quality hen turkeys were quot
ed at 80 cents alive and 80 cents dress
cd this morning, while old toms We're
quoted 5 cents cheaper. 1t is expected
that the demand Will decrease as the
weather gets warmer.
Spring lamb continues in great de-
mand, being regarded as one of the
leaders in the meat market at this
season. 1t has been in especially big
demand the past few weeks, according
to dealers, and Saturday buyers have
practically cleaned up market sup
plies. Prices have been cheaper this
season than usual.
Prime rib roasts and choicest steaks
have been in demand this season, as
usual, and there has been fairly
good demand for veal, pork and pork
products. Earlier in the season the
market continued draggy for some
time, but more life has been evidenced
since the Easter holidays.

BY JOHN B. FOSTER.

N 7 EW YORK, January 21.-If
Ban Johnson, president of the
VI American League, has been
4 quoted correctly in his state
ment that his league held
nothing against Ty Cobb and iris
Speaker except incompetency as man
ayers, it will not be strange to see
both stars playing in the National
League in 1927, providing their terms
are within reason and they wish to
do SO.
Both Cobb and Speaker would have
been engaged by National League
clubs for the 1927 season except for
the fact that certain clubs anxious to
get them had been advised to go slow,
The Giants wanted Cobb and the Pi-
rates would gladly have taken
Speaker.
John McGraw would have under
taken to put Cobb on the New York
Giants if he could have succeeded.
McGraw was satisfied that Cobb had
another year of base ball, and perhaps
more, and there are others who. be-
lieve the same thing. Obtaining Cobb
TO play in New York would have given
the Giants a tremendous pull at the
gate early in the season. Rogers
Hornshy, at second base. and Ty Cobb
in the outfield would have packed the
