PRODUCE MARKET NOTES

Further sharp price advances in
potatoes the first few days of April
brought the level to a range varying
from 1925 per 100 pounds for sack
ed stock in Minnesota and Wiscon-
sin to about So for Burbanks at
Rocky Mountain shipping points.
These prices compare with range
not far above 50 at the lowest dur
ing March. Carlot shipments have
tended to increase moderately since
the rise began, with average daily
output exceeding 800 cars and espe-
cially heavy from Maine, Minnesota,
Wisconsin, Colorado and Idaho, but
reserve holdings in most sections,
except Maine, seem to be getting
light. Recent local estimates place
remaining holdings in Idaho at 1900
to 25OO cars. A wide difference of
opinion seems to prevail among the
dealers as to number of cars left IN
western New York, but the majority
seem to think that 600 carloads will
include holdings in the western part
of the State. Close estimates are not
feasible, because potatoes in New
York State are grown and stored Dy
the growers in some 40 counties.
Demand continues active in the Ro-
chester district for shipments to the
southeast and to points in Ohio. The
price range for the grower has not
advanced so rapidly as the prices
the dealers have been receiving.
Most growers were being paid $1.10
to SIPS per bushel early in April.
Prices f. O. b. shipping point ranged
$3.50 to $2.55 per 100 pounds in wes-
tern New York and $3.50 to $2.45 IN
northern Maine, on sacked stock.
Rad condition of roads hindered de-
Iiveries in both sections but demand
was good and trading active. New
York Round White varieties sold IN
Baltimore at $3.50 per 100 pounds IN
early April and Pennsylvania Round
White varieties at $3.50 to 50 III
various large eastern markets.
Sharp advances continued to tea-
+ure the onion market during early
Anril. Sales in the Rochester dis
trict of New York reached top OF
s2.75 per 100 pounds which was a
higher price than the best stock
quoted in the representative eastern
city markets. Range of sales II
early April for New York stock IN
philadelphia, Baltimore and New
York was S2.25 to s2.65. Onions oi
inferior grade sold at So or lower
Fancy midwestern stock brought as
high as 1925 in a few markets. Most

CAPITAL SUPPLY AND DEMAND

The 1929 income of the American
neonle is estimated to have Deen
something in excess of $95,O0O,OOO'-
600. compared with SS4,OOO,OOO,OVO III
the immediate pre-war days. Out Ol
+bis. amount our net savings and ad-
ditfons to permanent capital-our
surplus after paying all operating
exnenses. taxes and living expenses
probably totaled $4,000, 100000. This
compares with approximately $5'-
75O. 600 900 before the War. Owing 10
the vast increase in our national
wealth and income through capital
istic processes, the proportion saw
ed out of earnings annually mas
grown from about II per cent IN
pre-war times to nearly Is per cent
at present.
This capital supply, our saved sur
plus available for future production
met demands of a great variety
About $1,75O,0O0,000 found its way
in 1929 into savings accounts 10 DO
diverted into short and long-term
loans to individuals and business
concerns. More than $10,000,OOO,OOO
representing the surpluses OF lnol-
viduals. corporations, associations
and other sources of capital SUPPLY
went into stocks, bonds and notes 10
satisfy the long-term requirements
of business and governments mere
and abroad. More than S2,5OO,OOO'-
900 was paid out in life insurance
premiums to be again invested ana
reinyested. Another enormous por-
tion was placed in small mortgages.
A large sum became the working
canital item of business and indus
try. A small percentage was placed
in old socks and hid behind loose
chimney bricks. But practically eV-
cry penny of our enormous surplus
went to work to meet the caplIal
demands that come to us from al
most every part of the world.
The secret of our stop within
few generations from country tnat
cried for capital to a country Win
canitaI in excess is written largely
in our savings habits. Between 19OS
and 1919 our national income show
ed an increase annually in excess oi
one billion dollars. Within the last
seven years, allowing for the IN
crease due to price advances "e
have boosted the rate of increase
again and again, until at the end OF
+his wear we shall have above W.
600 900 900 more to spend. That ac-
complishment is the result OF a
practice which began early IN TINS
Country, the practice of saving 70

product of it's application that capi-

r The same method is the logical

In the Stock Market
CBy Thomson & McKinnonl

NEW YORK, July 23.-Not, for
a long time have we been favored
with such a favorable array OF
weekly trade statistics.
Increased carloadings, better steel
operations, liberal wheat exports,
and unusually satisfactory oil sta
tistics give us the most encouraging
indication of a changing trend in
business that we have seen for some
time.
Even more gratifying are the ex-
cellent earnings reports coming
from our larger corporations, con-
sidering what had been expected.
Rumors are persistent that the
United States Steel Corporation
may decide to declare an extra divi-
dend at the coming meeting. 1t is
to be recalled that declaration OF
a small extra by the steel corpora
ton brought about a definite turn
ten years ago for the better in bust
ness generally and security markets
in particular.
Similar action at this time would
no doubt do a great deal to acceler-
ate the recovery i'll business.
Allowing for the usual normal
periods of hesitation, we feel the
stock market trend is definitely to-
ward higher prices.

STRIP DANCE IN
COURT OFFERED
4 Don't Care Says Judge
in IndeCenCy Arrest.

ITO strip or not to strip" is the
question which Miss Mildred Wood,
26, of 412 Irving place, must decide
before she appears in Judge Cliff
ton Cameron's municipal court
three this afternoon.
Charged with public indecency
for her alleged strip dance at a
downtown burlesque theater Tues
day night, she will appear in the
costume she wore at the theater if
necessary" Charles I. Cursor, the
alter manager, declares.
II don't care" Judge Cameron
commented this morning. "She can
appear in her clothing if she wants
to-"
Sergeant John WEIGH, who made
the arrest, claims several yards of
ribbon and handful of pompoms"
were her sole bodily adornment after
she had completed the strip dance
Tuesday night.
Sergeant WEIGH was sent to the
theater after repeated complaints
to police. He says the dance started
with Miss Wood covered by, ma
terials heavier than the conven-
tional veil of the oriental dancer,
but that, in response to calls from
the audience, she dropped, one by
one, the wearing apparel.
Major Herbert Fletcher declared
police investigation shows children
have been admitted to the theater
and that theater managers have
been ordered to clean up" their
shows.
Judge Cameron indicated he
would not ask for a court per-

CORN FUTURES
AT new HIGHS
ON MOVEMENT
December Option Up 3
Cents at One Time; Wheat
Firms Up.
BIZ United Press

By United Press
CHICAGO, July o. Wheat
closed with a small rally for fair
gains on the Board of Trade today
after an unsettled and rather quiet
session. There was a noticeable lack
of hedging pressure. Strength Ill
corn and Canadian rust reports led
to some buying, but the market was
easily influenced and varied up
ward and downward most OF ths
day. Corn showed exceptional
strength, December at one time be-
ing more than cents higher and
at a new high on the movement.
Oats was firm with corn.
At the close wheat was IS to -
cent higher; corn was rs to 3ia
cents higher, and oats was 4 tG
IS cent higher. Provisions were
steady.
Liverpool remained about steady
during the latter part of the session
and closed L to Is cent lower. There
was little export business in hard
winters worked overnight, in addi-
ton to the fair volume at Winnipeg.
Cash prices were y cent lower. Re-
ceipts were 348 cars.
Prospects for return of hot and
dry weather and the failure of
heavy rains to materialize in Sec
tions where no rain has yet been
received gave corn a strong tone
during the morning and at midses-
sion prices were more than / cent
higher led by December. The cash
demand was again good. The adj
vance brought few offers from the
country Trade was very active
early. Cash prices were 4 to
cent higher. Receipts were 1873 cal6y
Oats shared a part of the strength
in the other grains and scored frac-
tional advances during the early
morning. There is very little grain
moving from the country as the
farmers are holding oats for feed
ing purposes until the outcome OF
the corn crop is assured. Cash prices
were 4 cent higher Receipts were
| 20 cars.
