Yesterdays cooler weather was well
coined by wholesalers, enabling them
to close the weeks market under more
favorable conditions. The lower tenn
perature put additional life In the
market and probably increased the out
put TO the extent Of enabling dealers
to get rid Of most Of their supplies Of
perishable foodstu11s.
Fancy fruits and vegetables found
ready sale, while some Of the inferior
products received from distant places
were sold for song or discarded to the
garbage heap. An improvement In the
condition Of fruits and vegetables re-
ceived for the week end trade was re-
ported and as the season advances
average receipts are expected to improve.
Close Of the weeks business found
increased output reported. while the
butter and egg situation was about the
same as It had been most Of the week.
Meat prices continued so high that
consumers. according to reports, made
heavier purchases Of vegetables.
Municipal Fish Market dealers re-
ported receipt Of q smaller variety OF
fish during the week, direct result of
hot weather conditions, but supplies
were ample to meet demands and the
quality Of offerings was not to Be dis
ing the week came from Boston
shippers.
A continued scarcity and advanced
prices Of soft crabs was attributed to
the fact that the number of commercial
crabbers has decreased and sales are
being made direct to hotels and con-
sumers along the Chesapeake Bay and
tributaries.
Summer hotels consume great guam
titles Of the soft crabs during the heated
term, suggested q market dealer, and
occupants Of bungalows and cottages
along the water front are continually
demanding crabs to serve their families
and guests.
These demands, according to dealers,
greatly interfere with shipments to the
city markets. Prices for primes re-
manned around 81 o dozen most Of the
week, while some Of the smaller stock
sold as low as $i.2S. Demands for the
crabs by anglers to use as bait Is said
by dealers to have resulted in taking
many of them on the market that
otherwise would reach the dinner table.

The opening was firm at an advance

evidently promoted by nervousness over
the further progress of the crop and
private reports Of increasing boil weevil

ton to the cables and the advance soon
extended to 1877 for December, and

represented net advances Of % to 81

This was evidently suficient to. at

rains in West Texas over the week end.
The official forecast, however, called

A good part of this loss was recover

PORTO RlCAN SUGAR CROP

Fall in Price.

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, P.-Final
figures On sugar production for the sea-
son now ending are expected to show
q crop reduction of more than IS per
cent for the whole island as q result
Of damage done to growing cane by the
San Felipe hurricane of last September.
One central which has already finished

per cent from last yeas. In money the
decrease will run into many millions

Last years sugar harvest exceeded
$50, 900 short tons, while the present
crop, according to An estimate Of the
Sugar Producers Association, probably
will not exceed $4,000 tons.
In addition to the reduction in the
size Of the crop the price so far has
averaged about 70 cents . hundred
pounds under that received in 1928.
Immediately after the hurricane es-
Inmates Of Sggar cane loss were fixed
