WEEKLY MARKET LETTER
BY NORTHWEST NEWS
SERVICE

-s9t ~ - Il ..4. . W. ) - \ 4 -
II was one 81 the quietest week
the Seattle produce market has evel
experienced.
There was a decidedly stronger
feeling in the potatoe market and
prices were slightly higher. Cold
weather in Yakima with difficulty in
loading was partly responsible but
demand was improved. F. o. B. prices
advanced to $45 per ton with $43 to
growers. Track sales out of cars
were made at $40 on ordinary
combination grade but some bust
ness was done on the basis Of $3.50
to $255, an advance of Is cents.
Apple prices are holding up well
both here and abroad. Apples are
considered to be good property es-
pecially in view of the high orange
prices. Citrus fruits market appears
to show no cracking, to Seattle job
bers, who state that shippers adj
wise continued high prices. This is
being reflected directly into the apple
market by reason of better demand.
Consumption was on heavy scale
during December and the report
shows storage quantities, both in
cold and common holdings, substant-
tally below the figures for January
LIST year ago.
A comparison of December /, and
January l, reports show reduction
in holdings of 2,17l,l73 barrels in the
country, The reduction in boxed
aples alone was almost four million
AS applied to the state of Washing
ton, the situation is even more en-
couraging than the national outlook,
as the markets are apparently rapidly
clearing of fruit that cannot be main
tanned in good condition until the
prices increase in the last few months
of the season. January and February
are heavy export months. That fact
adds to the generally optimistic out
look for strong closing of the mar
keting season.
SEATTLE PRICES: (To retailers)
Jonathans, extra fancy, lsos and
1875, 81; do fancy, So. do C. grade,
$l.50-1 rs; Spitzenburgs, extra fancy,
$303.25; do fancy, SITS; do &C. grade,

Butter prices on the Seattle market
for the last week Held an erratic price
trend, opening a week ago at "a
cents for 90 score 80 cents and 20
cents for standards and firsts, re-
spectively, but eased off the first of
the week to SO cents, 81 cents and
29 cents only to follow the lead of
other Pacific Coast markets and as
sumo ar upward turn advancing to
"a cents on extras or 81 score at the
mid-week at to SO cents on Saturday.
In all these moves, butterfat bids
closely followed the wholesale price.
While the butter market is con-
sidered to be in no way out of dam
ger from other recessions, there
is feeling among creamerymen
here that the worst is over. This
group of creamerymen are working
on the theory that when the selling
price of an article is below the act
ual cost of producing then there is
going to be change for the better.
The declines in the butter market
during the last 10 days and two weeks
are considered by some dairymen as
q distinct aid to producers These
producers feel that the low price
for fat will tend to weed out low
producing cows and stabilize the in
dustry. ft
Storage holdings are far in excess

AMERICAN LEGION
STARTS STATE AID DRIVE

Deciding that the weather was to
cold to undertake the long trip, men,
bers of John Linblad Post of the
American Legion concluded to aban-
don their plan to attend the Inter-
Post meeting at Naches Monday
evening and none Of them attended.
The following report of the meeting
was published in the Yakima Herald:
Pledging to assess each member
rs cents year, American Legion
posts of the sixth district, during
an interpost meeting here tonight,
made plans to start a statewide
movement to furnish non-compen-
stated veterans in the Walla Walla
hospital with tobacco. The pledge
was made after Carl H. Behnke,
commander Of the Yakima post, gave
a report of the investigation conduc-
ted to determine whether the dis
abled veterans are provided with the
small luxuries.
In giving his report, Behnke ex-
planned that patients and hospital
officials stressed the need for such
a movement. He also showed that
only the Yakima and Walla Walla
posts, the Disabled Veterans and the
Red Cross were now contributing to
the fund. The sixth district will |
present resolution asking that the
state department take up the move
ment, when the convention is held |
next simmer. ~
Because of the cold weather only
six posts in the district were repre-
scented at the meeting. Other speak
ers included Rudy Huettner, COM
mander of the Naches post, and
Andrew Carlson, state vice COM
mander Of the Disabled Veterans.
Arthur Toupin of Mckee City, dis
trict commander, presided. Enter
tainment was furnished by members
of the Yakima post and the Naches
auxiliary.

DRUGS WON'T DO IT

"No known drug or combination
of drugs when fed to poultry will
increase egg production" says DR.
H. E. Moskey, veterinarian in the
Food, Drug and Insecticide Admin.
istration of the U. S Department
Of Agriculture. 1914
"The Department he says, has
objected repeatedly, by warning
and seisure, to the use of any label
on drug preparations for fowls which
indicates the preparation will in
crease egg production. Veterinarians
agree that such claims are unwar-
ranted and consequently fraudulent.
The Department will NOT relax its
efforts to keep from the channels OF
Interstate trade all products for
which such exaggerated promises are
made to poultrymen."
Other preparations equally object
ionable, DR.. Moskey says, are these
sold to increase the fertility of eggs
and to improve their hatch-ability.
This is not within the power Of
drugs.
The Spokesman regrets that be-
cause its forms were closed
Thursday evening, it is unable this
week to give a report of the Com
Club meeting, full ac-
count of which will be published
next week.

BROUGHT
 DISASTER ID FOX
Auto Crash Removed Him From
 Office at Critical Time

New York, March 27 UP)- Two crashes-one in a motor car and the other in the stock market brought financial strife to the huge movic-making and theater- owning business that William Fox devel- oped.
 On a July day of last year Will liam Fox and friend were riding in q Rolly Royce along old Vest bury road on Long Island when the car struck a small sedan. The big machine shot into ditch and turn cd over. Fox's chauffeur was killed and the theater magnate injured severely. He was treated for con- cussion of the brain, underwent a blood transfusion and recovered.
 Out of Oficc Two Months
 But he was out of his office for two months. They were more than ordinarily critical months because just prior to the accident Fox had been engaged in a mammoth pro- gram of expansion.
 Not only had he bought more and more thcaters, but he had engineer ed a deal to acquire a large block of stock in LoeW's, hitherto lead ing competitor, and had arranged to
New Britain herald., 1930-03-27

acquire the British-Gaumont inter- ests abroad.
 To finance these deals it was ne- cessary to resort to short-term loans in other words he borrowed money from bankers, agreeing to repay within few months. There seemed not the least danger. True, the government had instituted &C., ton against the Loew merger but in the main Fox was inclined to be bullish.
 There was one good and sufficient reason: the talkie. The American public liked sound pictures and was storming the Fox theaters as well as those of his competitors. Record yearly earnings were being made at the box offices.
 Stock Market CraSl,
 Then came the second crash. In the stock market where FoX's se- curities had been pyramiding, there occurred an upheaval that erased millions of dollars in valuations and a. great part of FoX's personal for tune.
 Fox has never revealed the extent Of his losses. Perhaps half of his wealth disappeared, perhaps less. He was reputcdly the richest man in an industry that has made many rich men and, as one indication of his wealth, he carried insurance for $6,400,000 on his own life.
 Fails to Raise Money
 Soon was presented all economic paradox. The Fox companies were making more money than ever be- fore and yet Fox did not have the estimated $91,000,000 to pay off the short term obligations. This was announced early in December and on the sixth day of that month Fox, who had always gone it alone, con- scented to the formation of a trustee ship consisting of himself, Harry l.. Stuart and John E. Otterson, rep resentatives of two major creditors. This was WormWood to the man who had built from practically nothing a structure that raised him to a pinnacle of fame and riches. Later he was to write to stockhold- CTS that he had been warned the gods of Wall street had practically proclaimed my doom and that noth- ing on earth could prevent this great money machine from moving me down."

This series of demonstrations aging director remained the whole time, an interested spectators; and several other customers joined the audience.
 Meanwhile excitement spread quickly among the assistants, all of N Nhom knew Jacqueline.
 Upstairs in the "model' room half g. dozen girls sat around in white silk slips and irrcproachable black silk stockings. Dorothy Dal- ton burst into the room.
 What's happened, girls?' she screamed. They say Jacluelne Grey is in the showroom ordering Papa Dell about as if he was a walker"
 "Ycp,' replied Coralie Compton, blowing alleged smoke-rings from al illegal cigaret. ''Jacquelinc Greys come into a million, and is buying frocks as if they was cheap as spring onions; and Emily Gibbs is doing the Gaby slide in the very frocks that Jacqueline was wear ing a week ago herself. Emily been up here four times for a change, and she's madder than a Persian pussy with q flatron tied to it's tail. And Papa Dell is just as mad, only more so.''
 Coralie was beautiful young goddess whose humble birthplace was somewhere east of Aldgate Pump. Outside business hour her name was Eliza Jones.
 Jacqueline, having enjoyed her self for a full hour. and, she CO., sidered, squared accounts with Papa Dell and Emily Gibbs, eventually chose three models, which had ai- ready been altered to fit her Whc:.

she was herself mannequin.
 Where would you like these scnt, madam ?" inquired Mr. Dell ,n bis silkiest manner.
 "1o Miss Jacqueline Grey at the Majestic hotel"
 Even Mr. Dcll had to admit that she played her part perfectly, and spoke as to the manner born.
 "So much for Byrams' Jimpor- iUm," she sighed happily, as she drove away Tn another taxi. "I wonder how soon you'll be baci; there, my child. If ever you do, lcol1 out for Papa Dell and for Emily Gibbs, especially Emiiy Gibbs"
 But these were troubles of the future, and Ja1quelnc lived for the day-lille a bird-and perhaps she vas happier for ii.
 She saw P. C. Rogers, who had put her five pounds on Prinkipo and lest it. He was on traffic duty out side Byrams, and stopped her taNl with an imperative hand. She like r. C. Rogers, and she wanted very much to lean out of the cab anl tell him of the good fortune which 1 had ovcrtakcn her; but she realize ] the obligations of her new position in society.
 So she passed out of the old life at Byrams into the new life which the possession of check book and bank balance had already brought her in two or three days. Copyright, 1880, Richard Starr)
