Few sales of carrots have been
made in western New York pro-
ducing sections this season, but
large quantities are reported in
storage. The majority of cars that
have moved were billed to soup
factories and canning plants. Sack
ed carrots in carlots are bringing
55 to 60 cents per 100 pound sack.
Washed carrots in bushel baskets
are realizing about the same prices
as the rough carrots in sacks.
Apple Trade Dull
Despite the increased demand for
some kinds of apples, caused by the
selling activities of the unemployed
in large cities during the past
month, trading has been light in
producing sections, owing to the
falling off in the export demand.
Sales for domestic consumption
have consisted largely of fruit in
bushel packs. Baldwins from cold
sold at $3.50 for No. l stock
at western New York shipping
points. Greetings are in better sup
ply than Baldwins in eastern pro-
ducing sections and sell about Is
cents lower than that leading varie-
ty. Ben Davis in barrels ranged
from $3.50 to $475 in producing
sections. Shipments are decreasing
steadily, with recent average only
about 300 cars daily. Greetings and
some other varieties have been sell
ling a little higher in New York, but
general jobbing range in eastern
and middle western markets is still
S1.25 to $3.50 per bushel. Staymens
sell at $3.50 to 50 in Philadelphia,
and Washington. Eastern
ranged $1.25 to $150. The
commercial apple crop, according to
the December estimate, is about 40 /
above the 5-year average, but owing
to the lower level of prices the esti-
mated value is less than last year
by fully one-fifth. Production in
New York is estimated at 5,375,000 |
barrels of market apples, compared .
with 3,4O4,OOO last season. New Jer-
sey has $4,000 barrels, compared |
with 100000 and Pennsylvania, l.
100000 compared with 100000 bar
rels for the 1929 season.

party are understood to have reach ed an agreement then to maintain the status quo until Monday, when the ministers will take a more def mite stand, and probably will insist upon the retirement of the entire cabinet and the president.
 It was understood that the presi- dent himself had requested the min isters to wait before taking any ac ton and had promised to meet the cabinet at government house Mon day. Last nights clashes, and the nearly unanimous opposition of his own ministers. apparently presaged a memorable cabinet session on that date.
 Observers generally agree that the president, although reluctant to relinquish office, may be forced to do so by the steadily increasing press of events and the disaffection of his own leaders. The fatalities in last nights rioting are likely also to embitter public opinion.
 Police today took extreme precau- tions to prevent other reunions of students and manifestations which have been scheduled for today.

Urgent Appeal Issued

Santo Domingo, Sept. Pl-An urgent appeal for help was sent from this city today as it counted the toll of the hurricane which swept across the republic Wednes- day afternoon, taking an estimated 500 lives and leaving 90 per cent of the citys population homeless.
 There is immediate need here for food. clothing, medical supplies and temporary shelters, with untold suf- fering threatening the population not only of the capital but of most of the republic unless supplies are received. Capping a climax of hor- TOTS the water supply has failed and only limited fresh water is available.
 More than half of the capital city is a shambles. Roofs were lifted off Of buildings by the wind as if fas- tened by thumbtacks. The wind sometimes reached velocity ex- ceeding 150 miles an hour The American legation was unroofed and the building partly destroyed The great bridge across the Ozama river was destroyed, and all buildings of the American AirWays were blown to pieces.

Meteors Give No Trace
 Of Other Planet Life

Chicago, Sept. 5 R - Of 400 known meteors which have been dashed to the earth following cos mic catastrophes - meaning smashed up planets-not one has shown any trace of fossil remains to indicate life away from our own sphere, Dr. Charles E. Wylie of the University of Iowa said to- day. He is here for the American Astronomical society convention.
 Life may exist on distant spheres" said Dr. Wylie. but when a cosmic smashup occurs, the bits of rock that may event. ually find their way to earth may have come from the interior of the exploded world. The surface rock is so thin that it might be compared to the varpish on a billiard ball.
 Even if slab of surface rock reached us it would have been melted 50 in its descent as to obliterate any footprints of pos sible dinosaurs or human beings. A meteor falls at the velocity of 25 miles a second, or 50 times that of projectile shot from an artillery piece"

 Governor Roosevelt informed the Red Cross that San Juan would be the best base near the stricken city for supplies and personnel. In answer to requests for money the American Red Cross at Washington forwarded s15,0o0 for the first emergency relief.
 A staff of eight government phy- sicians, carrying a varied assortment of first aid supplies, will leave here by fast plane for Santo Domingo at 8 a. m., as Cuba's first move to ex- tend aid to the hurricane-wrecked metropolis.
 Medical Equipment Sent
 Port Au Prince dispatches said that two truckloads of medical equipment with Haitian physicians had been sent to relief of its strick- en eastern neighbor, and that others would be sent as quickly as they could be assembled.
 From fragmentary dispatches reaching here it can be assumed that the hurricane took a heavy toll in the leeward islands and the lesser Antilles. Martinique and Guadeloupe apparently escaped the storm, but the little island of Do- minica, a British possession, suffered heavily. There were reports of from two to 20 persons killed. many in jured and heavy property damage there.

Washington Offers Aid

Washington, Sept. PNA surge of relief at word that the hurrican. danger to the American coast seemed over. frightened today the sorrow brought to the capital by the deso- lation of santo Domingo, while aid was dispatched to its suffering pop ulation. The weather bureau reported the intensity of the tropical storm brok- en by the high mountains of the stricken island and Charles L. Mitchell, Washington forecaster. said the only danger to the United States lay in the remote possibility that the storm might gather new speed after crossing a portion of Cuba.
 The Red Cross. keeping forces at , work through last night to scan the meager reports coming from Santo Domingo, prepared to back up it's preliminary measures with large scale relief work as soon as the sit uation was sized up clearly. An in- itial s15,0o0 was dispatched to American Minister Curtis in the De- minican republic yesterday; Captain Antonio Silvia. manager of the Porto Rican chapter was ordered to the scene of the disaster by airplane and Governor Roosevelt of Porto Rico was authorized to spend s10,o00 i'm mediately for emergency medical supplies. These will be shipped from San Juan aboard the S. S. Catherine, of the Bull Insular line which was placed at the disposal of relief forces. The destroyer Grebe was en route from the Virgin Islands under orders from the navy department D pick up 30 doctors, nurses and med ical assistants at San Juan and take them immediately to Santo Domin- go.
 San Juan Headquarters
 Temporarily San Juan was made Red Cross relief headquarters
 The breaking up of the hurri- canes intensity was announced by the weather bureau on the strength Of reports from ships and land sta tions in the vicinity of the storm which indicated wind velocities had dropped sharply.
 Mitchell said the storm might re- form and become dangerous in the distance from Cuba to the Florida straits. but added that from pres ent indications this was unlikely.
 He added there was little likel- hood of the storm shifting its course

 In 1885 MT. Goodrich moved to New Britain. He had secured a job in the P. & F. Corbin factory, as polisher. and as there were no troll leys nor automobiles at that time, he did not relish driving a horse from New Britain to Rocky Hill every evening, and back to New Britain every morning. It was more convenient to move here, and he moved.
 For Al year. he worked at the Corbin factory, the last four years being a gate tender, but was pen stoned seven years ago and has talk en life easy since then.
 Mir. Goodrich is philosopher. He bought an automobile about ten years ago, and learned to drive t, but was refused a license on account of his age. T suppose they think when a fellow gets to be 75 years old he ought to be wheeled around" he said today. Some people get funny ideas"

 His son, Stephen W. Goodrich wants to give his father a ride in an airplane, and MT. Goodrich has almost decided to take one ride, just to see how it feels"
 MT. Goodrich likes the movies. He gets a real thrill out of adventure and action pictures, but "can't stand those silly love pictures"
 For more than 50 years Mir. Good rich has attended the annual re- union of the 7th regiment. There was no reunion in 1928, but he at tended the 1929 meeting last Sep tember in Hartford. He has pot heard when the 1880 reunion is to be held, but intends to go to Hart ford if it takes place. The present membership of the regiment is be- lieved by MT.
