GOOD WEEK SEEN
FOR FRUIT SALES
Frost Has Yet to Determine
Supply of Vegetables
for Canning.

During the usual Monday lull whole
sale produce dealers were today pre-
pairing for what they expect to be an
other banner fruit and vegetable week.
The length of time intervening from
now until frost will determine how long
vegetables will be available for canning,
and housewives are speeding their ef-
forts to replenish their larders while
the local produce is available. String
beans and sound, ripe tomatoes are
scarce
Fresh and cured meats, as we'll as
butter and eggs, remained today at the
same prices prevailing during the latter
part of the week. Chickens must even
pected that eggs will advance again be-
fore cold weather. Meat prices are
thought by dealers to be about as high
as it is possible for them to go in times
Of peace and so-called national pros
perity, they said today.
