DECLINE REPORTED
IN POTATO PRICES
Cabbage, Strawberries and
Onions Also Cheaper
at Wholesale.

Wholesale prices of potatoes, cabbage,
onions and strawberries, says the De-
partment of Agriculture, tended down
ward during early May. Onion markets
were very weak. Apples held about
steady at shipping points. but advanced
a little In Chicago. Markets were nrm
to higher for celery, lettuce ana tonna-
toes. The immediate supply of tomatoes
is lighter than a year ago, at least until
Rio Grande Valley shipments of Texas
stock become more active. Texas ex-
poets a heavy crop, and movement Is
now under way.
Unless Yields are greatly increased.
paintings of Summer cabbage indicate
a crop about the same size as last year.
Receipts of strawberries by train and by
truck were becoming heavy. Carlot
shipments averaged 240 cars daily last
week The season has been rather dis
appointing in some of the Southern
States. May is the biggest month for
strawberries. Movement of new potatoes
will soon exceed that OF old stock. The
Carolinas will soon begin shipping nota-
toes. Supplies Of celery were rather Inn
tied, but movement of lettuce from Cam
fornia was averaging ITS cars each day.
A wide range of prices prevailed on
asparagus. Most of the supply was
from Eastern producing sections.
Imperial Valley cantaloupe shipments
totaled 80 cars for the week. Standard
crates were jobbing at $40 to $l3 in the
East At this time last year no Cali
fornia cantaloupes had yet been
shipped. Movement of Texas carrots
increased to 140 cars, and similar
humber came from California. The sup
ply of cucumbers increased sharply
when Texas forWardings jumped TO 1875
cars. Though only 80 carloads came
from Florida. bushel hampers declined
at Florida points to S3-s3.60. California
was the leading source Of green peas
with $50 cars last week. Mississippi de-
creased to SIS, but South Carolina in
creased to 30 cars of peas. A sudden
decrease occurred in shipments of spin
ach Only 265 cars were reported, AZ
againlt 400 the preceding week. Vir-
GINA was down to 200 cars, and only x
or 80 each came from Maryland anc
Arkansas. Movement of Florida string
beans increased sharply to 800 cars
Texas dropped to a total of 20. but the
bean season opened in Louisiana. Swee'
potato shipments required only 1855 cars
Cherries were beginning to arrive
rather freely from California. About 81
cars were forwarded during the week
The season is earlier than last year
Movement of only 80 cars Of grapefruit
was in decided contrast 10 the heav!
output of 635 cars during the same pc
riod last season. Arrivals from Portt
Rico also decreased to % cars. Orang'
shipments totaled 1850 cars, all bu
seven Of which came from California
A year ago about also cars OF orange
moved Combined forTardings of q
leading fruits and vegetables increases
last week to 1925 cars, compared Will
2oe80 during early May Of 1929.

BOND PRICES EASE
IN DRAGGY MARKET
ConvertibIes Sell 0ff-For.
eign List Continues to
Show Gains.
BY F. Fl. RICHARDSON.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 8.-With every
thing fundamental in its favor, the
bond market today acted poorly and
went contrary to what had been expect
ed of 1t.
The market bulls" harder than any
surrounded by the same money condi-
tons in recent years.
Even the high grade issues, that might
be expected to become buoyant in 3
per cent call money market, sagged to-
day. notably the United States Govern
ment bonds and Treasury notes. The
long-term issues were considerably low
err in one instance nearly II point. High
grade corporation mortgage bonds were
also rather fiat.
An excuse might have been that the
stock market was again unsettled, but
the argument of bond dealers recently
has been that their market would i'm
prove only after stocks had had radi-
ral price readjustment. This has now
taken place but with it there has been
almost no sustained advance in bonds.
Prices move up little and then they
react
Life insurance companies have been
quite good buyers the past week, but
the withdrawal of savings bank de-
positS has temporarily taken savings
banks out of the market The fact that
they are able to obtain such excellent
equities in real estate mortgages has
also limited their purchases of corpora
ton issues.
Convertible bonds were heavy in re-
Spouse to the stock market reaction.
An exception were the Anglo-Chilean
rs. which advanced several points fur
Their in sympathy with the movement
in the stock. Junior rails were some
what lower and there was a secondary
reaction in the local fractions.
In the foreign list distinct improve
ment was shown in all of the Italian
and French issues, with some reaction
in South Americans. There is very
active daily discussion of the terms at
which the reparations loan will be Of
fered and what its reception will be in
this country The feeling is that If
the price and yield are right, there
will be no difficulty in selling it.
A considerable number of new tax
exempt corporation issues were offered
today. None of them carried any dis
tinctive features.

DANFORTH SCORES

Daring Stock Operator Has
Been on Right Side of
Recent Market.

Special Dispatch to The star.
NEW YORK, May S.-William r.
Danforth, 4S, whom the fellows call
BILL" is generally regarded as the big
gest stock market bear since Jesse Liv-
ermore was in his prime.
Since the recent stock market smash
took place. his name is heard more fire.
quently in Wall Street than that of any
other leader. Few men have smashed
into Wall street so spectacularly. I'm
known even year ago to the leaders.
he has bloSsomed forth as the most
powerful and vigorous bear of the trad
ers, although it must be said that at
times during the last year he is known
to have traded on the bull side of the
market, although not for any long
period.
Mr.. Danforth's past is stepped IN
mystery. Little is known about his
early career. One close friend of his
said that five times he has pyramided
81, 900 into 500 grand" only to lose 1t
again on a casual "hunch.'
But even those who are his close
friends on the Street know him only in
business way Few bankers know him,
either in this city or in Boston.
With no financial background, he Is
supposed to have made somewhere be-
tween $5.000,000 and $4,000, 900 in the
bear market of last Fall. Among the
stocks in which he was supposed to have
been a heavy seller are International
Combustion. 10000 shares of which he
is reported to have sold short at so and
covered at Is. holster Radio was an
other. Radio, Columbia Carbon. Mar
mon Motors and United Corporation are
others he is believed to have dealt in.
Primarily, this Boston stock trader
has always been interested in speed and
still more speed He likes the thrills of
life. Already an adept at flying ne
uses an airplane for frequent trips from
his Cape Cod estate to his Brookline
home. One report is that since he made
his cleanup "he has been brushing the
tree tops every week end on his pill
grimages via airplane between New
York and Boston"
But as one interested in sports and
speed, he likes prize fights and fast
boats. He plays the market for the
thrills he gets out of 1.-THE money he
makes is secondary. He has been known
to lose S250000 without batting an eye
lash and then play a good game of golf
Iile same d1IelhooI "AViiouV VNeh AeAeA
ring to his loss
Last Summer, before the big break, he
was playing a game of golf on the
Westminster Biltmore Country Club
with John Drake. The side bet was
5000 a hole. He is no master golfer
and he lost, but this was merely an In
cident in the days sport, another evi-
dence that it isn't money, but the real
JOY of the sport that centers his interest.

INVISIBLE EXPORTS
REACH BIG TOTAL
imports of Same Character
Are important in Bal
anCe of Trade.
By JOHN F. SINCLAIR.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May S.--Inport and
export figures are usually published
without including invisible" items
an inexcusable omission.
American economic experts recently
have been studying the trade balance
sheet between France and the United
States France has always bought more
goods from the United States than she
sold to the United States. Hence
France is supposed to have been a
debtor of the United States during all
these years.
But these items never included So
called "invisihles credits being
the largest item. With these included
France shows that she has had a
favorable balance of trade with the
United States over the last 19 years
of about 100000.
So American tourist trade. which last
year was reckoned at $50, 900 900 in
France, cannot be ignored, 1t is a
vital part of the business between the
two countries.
France sells to the United States, be-
sides her mountain scenery and her
hotel rooms. manufactured goods,
lingerie. clothing, silk and perfumes.
The United States sells to France
raw cotton, cotton waste, crude and
refined mineral oils, gasoline, copper,
steam and other machinery.
French exports to us may look much
more delicate and refined than our
exports to France. but France is very
wise. She knows our weak points and
how to take advantage of them-com-
mercially.
No nation has taken Frances meas
ure in international trade since the war.
Again William F. Green, president OF
the American Federation of Labor,
champions the fve-day week to help
correct unemployment and create an
opportunity to use the goods and COM
n1odities which industries produce"
Investigation reveals that more than
500 900 men and women in the United
States are working on the flve-day-week
schedule. About two-thirds of this
Number are union members. But why
a five-day week?
Let Mr.. Green answer: Machinery
and power make it possible, and hu-
name and spiritual reasons make 1t
necessary. We have come to I'M
Outstanding as never before that 1t is
not enough merely to create the power
to buy. but we must create the oppor-
tunity to enjoy and use goods and COM
modities." -.
In word. it's not long hours, but
sustained purchasing power. that pro-
duces good times and high living stand
ards.

RADIO FOUND CHEERFUL
TO DESOLATE HOMES
Many Without other Entertain
ment Find Source of Pleasure
in Broadcasts.

NEW YORK CN.A.N.A.) Much has
been said and written about the way
radio carries the voices and the music
of the city to the lonely farm houses
and to the dwelIers in the wild, waste
places of the earth. Much could be
be said about this function of radio as
it relates to the metropolis itself.
Humble homes and shops in the five
boroughs Of this city may be only
mile or two from the palatial hotels
and halls where the pick af the worlds
music and eloquence centers, but in
sense they are just as far removed and
isolated as tenants of a ranch in Arr
IONA. They lack price, clothes. time
and even assurance, for venturing into
the places which so much of the Nation
looks upon as being New York.
So 1t Is pleasant to find, in dropping
into some dingy hole of notion store
on one of the city'S innumerable back
streets, that the radio orchestras de
luxe are playing there. too, or that the
message of some statesman is being
absorbed by family group around
the stove, or that they are eagerly
following some sport event and probably
getting more pleasure out Of it than
many patron in an expensive seat
down front. The radios a bad actor
when in bad company across the apart
H1ent house court, but it certainly cheers
some of the people who need 1t.
