TRUCK HOLDING
AT FAIR PRICES
Cabbage Hits Low Level;
Other Commodities In
Strong Demand

Potatoes this week joined the VAL
ley vegetables moving in straight
carloads with from one to three cars
moving daily. and indications of a
heavy movement next week. The
price to growers has ranged from
S4.25 to $500 per hundred pounds.
The demand has been heavy and is
expected to continue for some time.
The grade is averaging up well, with
all potatoes shipped by the associa-
ton members going under U. S.
grades.
No optimism was expressed Satur-
day by Valley shippers with respect
to the cabbage situation. The move
ment the past week exceeded 100
cars daily. The market opened fairly
strong Monday at SIS per ton to
growers, but Thursday slumped to
$40. Saturday quotations were So
per ton, with or two points Of
fering SO. Reduced loadingS, the
result of the low price, may result IN
a more stable market next week.
All records for beet and carrot
shipments were broken, with 1872
cars shipped during the week, and
the market holding an even leval
despite heavy loadings. Prices for
carrots, in the field, averaged from
Is to 80 cents per crate. BeetS were
bringing Is to II cents in the field.
The beet and carrot movement has
exceeded any former year, and the
price has held very uniform with a
steady demand in the larger centers.
Green beans, which have been
moving out in small shipments the
past two weeks, are expected to n
ter the straight car stage next week.
Prices have ranged from $3.50 to 81
per hamper, and are expected to
hold around So to $3.50 next week.
The demand is firm and steady.
The crop will be short, due to un-
favorable weather conditions.
Anise, broccoli, onions, parsley
and escarol are moving in straight
cars at very profitable prices, with
no indication of a slump in the de-
mand. Anise is bringing the grow
ers from 25 to 40 cents per crate,
and broccoli, which is in .~avy de-
mand, is proving a very profitable
crop at rs cents to 81 per crate.
Shippers report an ever increasing
mixed car inquiry. The mixed car
movement the past week totaled 284,
the mixtures containing practically
every vegetable grown in the Valley.
Establishment Of the new mixed
car rate interstate, which is expect
ed to be announced in the neal flu
ture, will further stimulate the mix
ed car demand.

the first to reach here, landed five
miles from the international line
on the American side today. MeXi-
can leaders said it would supple

afternoon.

week. which will cut down bank
balances, and at the same time will
begin to pay off its ~overdraft at
the reserve banks, which has had
the effect of easing credit this week.
The fact that time money had
reached 8 per cent even for longer
maturities, the highest rate in
years, is indicated as a barometer
Of the credit situation.
The days business news included
still another increase in copper me-
tai prices, carrying the price for
domestic shipment to 81 cents. and
still higher prices were talked of
iii the trade. 1t was pointed out,
however. that consumption of the
red metal will soon reach its sea-
sonal peak, and much of the re-
cent feVeriSh buying has been re-
garGed as an effort to beat" price
advances rather than for current
requirements.
CopperS and oils displayed out
standing group strength. Anaconda,
Chile and Kennecott reached new
high ground. Willie Greene Cananea
sold up over 8 points, nearly dup
Heating its previous top, and calu-
met and Arizona mounted nearly
z points. In the oils, which have
been stimulated by production con-
troll developments, Standard of Cal
lfornia mounted more than 8 points
to a new top.

1000 ARE
WITHOUT SHELTERS

CEMETERY HILL, Ala, March
16.-R)-Most of the 1000 refugees
from Elba and environs brought
here by national guardsmen to-
night were huddled together on a
knoll, without shelter and in most
cases, without adequate clothing,
while guardsmen pushed to COM
pletion a temporary roadway over
which automobiles will take the
flood victims to Troy. A caravan
of 100 cars was used in the work
of removal and it was estimated
that all Of the refugees would be
in Troy soon.
While some of the guardsmen
were working on the road, others
were pitching tents for women,
children, the aged and the sick.
Other guardsmen distributed ra-
lions and assisted physicians and
Red Gross workers in fighting dis
ease. No person was allowed to 60
to Troy without inocculation.
Several boats worked between
this camp and Elba today. bringing
in the stricken citizens of the flood
ed towns. Other craft moved on
to isolated groups which had found
refuge of sort away from the town,
carrying food and supplies to them.
Around campfires refugees stood
in long lines waiting their turn for
the two meals a day.
Guardsmen believe it would be
several days before Elba is fit for
occupancy again, although the wa
ter was going down steadily. T..
Most Of the food was dropped
froom planes. j. H. Hamm, a ref
ugee, was slightly injured when a
package from the air struck him,

Early Action On
Farm Relief Bill
Asked By McNary

WASHINGTON. March 16.-tP-
Enactment of a farm relief bill early
enough in the forthcoming extra
session to make it applicable to the
l929 crops was proposed today by
Chairman McNar.- of the senate
agriculture committee in issuing a
call for the opening of committee
hearings March 25.
The senator declared he intended
to get a new farm measure into
share in time to have it presented
by the committee to the senate on
the opening day Of the session, April
IS. He said he would then press for
immediate consideration of the bill.
1t is believed the bill introduced
last session by the Oregon senator
ultimately will become the base for
the new legislation but McNary has
invited discussion before the COM
mittee Of all proposals hitherto pre-
Sented to congress.
While indications have come from
democrats that they again will pro-
pose the equalization fee plan for
raising funds to market surplus
crops. republican majorities are not
expected to lend support to such q
move in view of the decision AGAINST
it by the republican national conven-
ton.

Boost Demand

KANSAS CITY, March 16.-(P)-
Omitted States Department Of Agri-
culture)-Livestock trade around
the IL market circuit during the
week under review was marked by
sharp price fluctuations on both
hogs and fat lambs. Hogs opened
the week higher, declined on mid
week sessions, and then scored an
other sharp advance. Meager re-
ceiptS was the strengthening influ-
ence. Closing values are 75M95c
higher than a week ago, with the
closing top at st. Louis of $3.50,
a new high mark for the season.
Total offerings were around $780,
700. a decrease of 121 700 from last
week and a shortage of $4,000 from
the same period a year ago.
Moderate activity prevailed on
most classes of cattel, medium
weight and heavy steers proving the
exception. Choice steers of weight
closed firm to slightly higher, but
the less desirable grades r steady
~ easier. Other killing classes are
unevenly higher with light weight
steers and yearlings generally show

TAKEN IN VERA CRUZ

MEXICO CITY, March 16.-(P)-
President Portes Gil today ordered
federal authorities in the state of
Vera Cruz to free all rebel pris-
onerS below the grade of lieuten-
ant colonel. 1t was understood
that these prisoners numbered
about 80. Three generals and
three colonies, including Simon
Aguirre, brother Of General Jesus
Aguirre who led that section off
the revolt, have been executed in
Vera Cruz.
The leniency toward all soldiers
and junior officers is expected by
the government to cause wholesale
desertion by rebels.
The president today ordered the
release of Gneral Jesus M. Fer
riera, former chief of military
operations in Chihuahua, arrested
here last week and charged with
treason. He attempted suicide while
in prison. Not only were the rank
and file of the Vera Cruz rebels
set free, but they were given passes
to their homes.

BREAK RECORD
FOR LOADINCS
Movement From Valley For
Past Week Averaged
200 Cars Daily

An average of 200 cars of vege-
tables and fruit per day, including
Sunday, was loaded in the Lower
Rio Grande Valley for the week
ending Friday night, March IS. The
reports of the Valley railroads
showed exactly 1400 cars moved dur
ing that period.
The average daily movement of
the week is believed to have broken
all former shipping records. A high
er daily loading record was attained
last year when over 300 cars were
loaded in one day, but shippers and
rail men state that at no period
have the loadings been so heavy for
seven consecutive days.
Cabbage comprised almost so per
cent of the loadings. totaling 645
cars, and mixed vegetables ranged
second with 284 cars. Beets and
carrots supplied 1872 cars of the
total, the heaviest movement of
those commodities on record.
The highest peak attained this
season was reached Tuesday when
232 cars were loaded, Wednesday
loadings being only two less Satur-
day and Sunday loadings totaled 245
cars, Monday Isl. Thursday 251 and
Friday 191. The decrease in the
Friday loadings was attributed to
the slump in the cabbage market.
The high peak of cabbage load
ings was attained Tuesday, when 152
arS were reported. and Wednesday
was a close second with 1876. Fri
day loadings Of this commodity were
the lowest in three weeks going
down to 81 cars.
Fruit shipments showed some in
crease over the previous week. a to-
tai of SIS cars moving. A heavier
shipments are expected during the
next two weeks, as under the terms
of the limited embargo all fruit
must be off the trees by March %.
The season total is 1857 cars as
compared with 11,731 to the CORE
spending date last year. The 1929
total represents 1888 cars of fruit
and 10,419 vegetables. Last season
Lat cars of fruit and 1885 cars Of
vegetables had moved to this date.

that federal cavalry under Gen.
eral Almazan had reached San
Pedro, 80 or 40 minutes by auto
mobile from Torreon.
There still are conflicting claims
by federals and rebels which make
a little confusing the latest re-
ports Of the military campaign.
Rebel leaders at JuareZ, in north
ern Soonra, say their troops have
captured Aguas Calientes, far
south Of General Gales former
headquarters at Canitas, and deny
that federalS have taken Durango
City.
They still insisted yesterday that
the federals were really far away
from Torreon and said that out
break of revolt in various central
Mexican states menaced the rear
of the Gales army. Their capture
Of Aguas Calientes had cut the
federal line of communications with
Mexico City, they claimed, and
many federal soldiers had been
killed or captured in the battle
there.
Six hundred rebels cut through
a wire fence on the international
boundary line east of Nogales,
Ariz., to obtain water from a rench
on the American side. The soldiers
returned to Mexican soil and as
serted they had not realized they
were crossing the border.
The first three Of twenty new
airplanes ordered in New York by
the federalS have been completed
and will be flown to Mexico City
Monday by Mexican army aviators.
