FLOOD
ALL LOCAL MARKETS
String Beans, Squash, Cabbage and
Tomatoes Arrive in Heavy
Shipments.

Glutting of the local market with
string beans, squash and other Vege-
tables is said by dealers to have re-
suited from ripening of the vegetables
in several States in the South about
the same time. This condition was due,
according to dealers, to the much
needed delayed rain visiting the sew
eral States about the same time.
1t was recalled by merchant this
morning that South Carolina grower,
taking advantage of what was reported
to be a strong market, drove his truck
load of string beans here, and he was
surprised when he reached North Caro-
lima to find pickers busy there. Some
of the North Carolina product arrived
here about the time of his arrival, and
he was disappointed at finding a much
lower market than he had anticipated.
Tomato receipts, especially from Mis-
siSsippi, have been unusually heavy
the past two weeks and prices have
been much lower than usual. It is said
by dealers that prices early in the sea-
son were lower than they had ever
known them before. Wholesale prices
dropped so low this week that some re-
tailers sold them at approximately 5
cents a pound.
Cabbage, both shipped-in and nearby.
is another vegetable that has been ex-
ceptionally plentiful and cheap the
past two weeks. Growers, in some in
stances, reported selling them to deal
ers as low as IS cents bSshel basket.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June 21.-The belief
of its founders that the operations of
the New York Real Estate Securities
Exchange would have a stabilizing in
fluence on the realty securities market
and materially aid toward changing the
general condition of these securities
from their somewhat frozen position
to one Of hquidity" has been borne out,
Charles G. Edwards, president, points
out In his initial report, reviewing the
first six months of operation of the ex-
change
Through the medium of the sex-
change many millions of dollars of real
estate securities have been afforded a
recognized market where they may be
traded in, and in providing a market
for these issues the only objection to
a good realty bond as collateral has
been removed" Mr.. Edwards declares.
In his report the fact is stressed that
the exchange in this, its period of In
fancy and development, is but follow
ing the early history of all recognized
exchanges.
The exchange has already assumed
national proportions through the list
ing of issues originating outside of New
York.

special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June 21.-"The pro-
nounced business upturn in May-as
measured by the large increase in cur
rency isSue-will change the whole COM
plexion of the stock and commodity
markets by the middle of August" ac-
cording to James G. Wilson, who has
just had completed a special study of
the effect of currency issue and gold
reserves on prices in the major mar
kets.
Mr.. Wilson says: "The pessimists,
who became so numerous this last
week, have completely overlooked the
one most striking evidence that Ameri-
can business has already hit bottom
and started to turn up. During the
month of May there was an increase
Of no less than $73, 900, 900 in our ma
tional currency-a fact that can only
reflect the demands of increased busi-
ness.
Moreover, this increase came after
a practically steady decline of $453,-
100000 in outstanding currency be-
tween November 80 of last year and
April 30 of this year. This long de-
cline merely reflected the ebb tide in
business activity-just as the recent in
crease reflects the turn in the tide.
We get still more light on the true
business SITUATION IL we compare cur
rency to gold reserves. On November
80 our total gold reserves were $4,366,-
100000, or some 1868 900 900 less than
our total currency. The currency dol
lar was actually backed by only 3d.
cents in gold. Compare this to April
80, when, co-incident with the drop in
currency, our gold reserves had in
creased $125, 100000, so that the cur
rency dollar was actually backed by 100
cents in gold for the first time since
1921"

the capacity for future expansion when
the opportunity for it is again pre-
Sented."

Street Car Firms
Are Planning War
On Traffic Jams
Utilities Men Declare Con-
gestiOn in Business
Centers Is Menace.
BY ]. C. ROYLE.

The electric street railroads of the
country are prepared to call for a show
down on the street traffic congestion
situation. This was learned yesterday
from executives of the companies, who
are now making their way toward San
Francisco, where the American Electric
Railway Association will meet Monday
The situation affects every city and
hamlet in the country, as we'll as the
street car lines, which operate some 30
per cent OF the urban public utility
transportation.
Downtown Parking.
Downtown parking is the foremost
problem. The street car men say the
time has come when streets can no
longer be used for motor car storage.
They are advocating free movement for
all vehicles. This question has threat
ened to stir up a controversy in Presi-
dent Hoover's street and highway safety
conference, but it has never been dis
cuSsed so openly and frankly as it will
be at San Francisco.
Arrayed on one side are the city
planners and public transportation men,
They insist all streets should be used
only for moving traffic. On the other
side are the motor car men and many
Of the merchants.
The first group asserts that the cost
OF new streets and widening of old
thoroughfares should not be placed on
taxpayers until existing streets are used
to capacity for moving traffic. They
insist that the whole problem should
be handled on city planning basis and
that the erection of Skyscrapers, which
figure largely in the production of con-
gestion, should be taken into considera-
ton. They cite highway accident rec
ords as an argument against haphazard
traffic control. While auto accidents
have increased, street car facilities have
dropped.
Charges Disputed.
The electric railway and bus men
argue that since they carry three pas
sengers to every one carried by private
autos, and carry them more safely they
streets.
The second group does not see eye
to eye with the street car and bus men.
Automobile men say they are doing
everything possible to prevent accidents
They say that if parking space is not
available at curbS, the cities should
build downtown garages and provide
free parking service. Street widening
and the building of new streets are
inevitable, they declare.
Many merchants believe abolition OF
street parking would hurt their trade
They would rather see one car parked
before a store than dozen rolling past.
despite assertions that Chicago mer-
chants have found abolition of park
ing help to trade. A Chicago survey
showed 1.06 per cent of trade came from
parkers.

Political Gestures

Widespread comment has followed the recent declar- ation by Democratic leaders that they will not seek to ob- struct the Hoover administrat- ion in it's efforts to solve the country's present economic problems, nor oppose other beneficial legislation. This of fer of cooperation has been ac- cepted by the Republicans, and now we shall see what we shall see.
 A great deal depends, of course, upon just what pro- posed legislation the Demo- crats will consider beneficial. Besides, it is obvious that the ,eaders of neither party will be able to control the actions or votes of their colleagues who are in the habit of showing in- dependence of party authority.
 That the Democratic leaders have signified their willingness to waive party advantage in the interest of the common good is commendable enough. How this idea will work out in practice remains to be seen.
 Both parties have their eyes on the presidential election of 1882, and it is hard to believe that either will voluntarily re- lenquish any advantage that may be taken by reason of the others mistakes.
 Politics is politics, and real cooperation by opposing part ies is so rare that the average citizen is justified in taking the recent statements. by both sides with the proverbial grain of salt.
