Apple Shipments Moderate

Carlot shipments of apples are
now running below 500 daily and
supplies are not so excessive in
some eastern markets, but there is
still considerable local fruit Of var
liable quality which cOmpetas with
carlot receipts and sells at very low
prices. A few varieties sell COM
paratively high. Greetings bring $4
to Sc per barrel in New York and
Mcintosh $3.50 to $3.50 but general
range of good fruit of standard va
rieties is G5 cents to SIPS per bush
ell.
Apple markets in producing sec
tions are dull and quiet but hold
generally the recent level of prices.
York, Staymans and Black Twigs
sell at $2.25 to $2.55 per barrel in
the Shenandoah region and bushel
packs of the York ruled near IS
cents at the end of the month. In
western New York, some varieties
are being held back in hope of
higher prices but the general run
of common storage stock is being
sold readily at prevailing levels. Ex-
port movement is light. Consider
able quantities of low-grade fruit
are being used for local manufac-
ture.

Potato Markets Quiet

Moderate supplies and limited de-
mand are the rule in eastern potato
markets, and there was not much
further shifting of prices in late No
vember. CarlOt shipments are only.
s 500 to 600 cars daily and nearly all
shipping sections are falling behind
in carlOt figures compared with a
year ago. Few sales are reported
from western New York shipping
points but prices are about steady at
the preceding weeks slight decline,
with a range of 65 to 20 cents per
( 100 pounds which is about the same
price that is reported from western
Michigan producing sections but
: considerably higher than in north
ern Maine. Demand is slow and
haulings light in the Presque Isle
district and there were some sales
Nas low as 40 cents per 100 pounds
during the last half of the month,
while bulk Green Mountains ruled
{only 35 cents. Maine Green Noun
tains wered fairly steady in eastern
jobbing markets at IS cents 10 $1.05
but there were tops of SIPS to $3.50
in Washington and some southern
markets. Long Island potatoes
were steady in New York at 81 toi

Produce Market Notes

After the wholesale produce mar
kets had been supplied for the hol-
iday trade, there was the usual ten
dency to. seasonal dullness. Carlot
shipments of fruits and vegetables
are not much above 1000 daily
which is a little less than the num-
ber moving during late November
last season.
Price changes are comparatively
few and moderate but most of the
gains of the week before are main
tanned. Cabbage and onions have
shown an upward trend for some
time, but there are few new devel-
opments in these lines at present.
Potato and apple markets are fairly
steady although there was a rather
weak tone in evidence at eastern
shipping points.

Pixlee will be particularly

are seven reliable men on hand
for these berths. Walter Slaird,
Barney Hale, Bert Bagranoff and
Charlie Chestnut are veterans
from last year. Others pressing
these four are Nielsen, Asher and
Edmonds. 1t is possible that one
and Bagranoff, together with one
more of these seven, will be
assigned to the guard posts.
Bagranoff was used at guard and
fullback last year.

Head Coach Curley Byrd is
devoting much of his time to the
second and third stringers, as
next week he will nominate those
who will perform for the varsity

have been eased up but they will
have heavy work next week.

BANKS BOOST

Arbitrary Hike ArouseS
Much Discussion.

Arbitrary increase of the interest
rate on temporary loans for the
Indianapolis school board from 2%
per cent to per cent by Indian
apolis banks caused much discus
sion today among members of the
school board.
In answer to its advertisement for
a ninety-day loan of $150,000 to
meet current expenses, six Indian
apolis banks offered a joint bid to
the board at an interest rate of 5
per cent with premium of $12.
A. B. Good, school business man

the money was needed to meet the
pay roll the bid was accepted. Banks
joining in the offer are the Mer-

Permission to use national guard

sought today by Mayor Harry Ow-
ems of Clinton and G.. E. Bingham,

chapter, who called at the Cover
nor's office.

Clinton township alone are COM
pletely destitute and dependent

tition to Governor Harry G. Leslie,
Prolonged unemployment has
rendered the situation there des-
perate the Clinton authorities said.
Facilities provided by law have
been overburdened and are broken
down, and now only inadequate
charitable relief is available to the
sufferers.
Vermillion county was cited in the
1881 general assembly as the states
worst section from the standpoint
of suffering because of unemploy-
ment.
L. O. Chasey, secretary to the
Governor, wrote Major-General
Dennis E. Nolan, Fifth corps area
commander, asking permission to
lend the kitchens to the Clinton
officials.
The equipment used by the ma
tional guard is owned by the war
department, and can not be trans
ferred to civilians, Chasey ex-
planned, by state officials alone.

the store executives to arrange an
other sale of them. Friday a similar
event will take place and it is ex-
pected that 1000 more brooms will
go out to local homes to aid house
wives in maintaining clean homes.

CONGRESS TO
Reject DOLE
SAYS WATSON
Predicts Domestic Relief
Funds Will Care for
Needy.
OPPOSES TAX INCREASE
Drastic Federal Economy
Solution to Deficit,
Says Senator.
By soripps-Horoard Newspaper Alliance

By Scripps-Hotoard Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON. Aug. 27.-sen-
ator James E. Watson of Indiana,
Republican leader, has begun dis
cussion of the Congressional pro-
gram with President Herbert Hoo
yer and senate leaders.
ut is my opinion" Watson said,
that congress will definitely re-
ject all proposals for a dole for
the unemployed, but I believe that
if when congress convenes it is
clearly shown that people in the
United States are in actual distress
that sufficient funds to prevent
hunger will be voted for distribu-
ton through Red Cross and other
recognized agencies"
Watson shares with President
Hoover the hope that the relief
drive beginning Oct. 10 will pro-
duce sufficient private funds to
eliminate the need for federal APP
preparations.
Tariff Law Dormant
"There are three things which I
believe the next congress will not
do" he continued.
First: 1t will not attempt to re-
wise the tariff law.
Second: 1t will not enact a dole
law.
Third: 1t will not increase taxa
tion.'
A plan to boost income taxes in
the higher brackets is being spon-
sored by Senators Couzens of Mich
igan and La Toilette of Wisconsin,
Republicans, while Secretary An
drew Mellon is understood to favor
certain upward changes.
II believe" Watson said, that
taxes can not be increased .suf-
f1ciently to balance the budget. It
is my opinion that the deficit will
have to be reduced through drastic
federal economies"
The next congress will, Watson
believes, enact legislation to:
Further regulate railroads and
authorize their consolidation.
Increase the powers of the inter-
state commerce commission to super
wise all forms of transportation, in
Guiding BUSES and airplanes.
Revise the banking laws to per-
NIT stricter supervision over banks
to reduce bank failures"
Congressional committees have
been studying railroad and banking
legislation, and Watson predicted
their reports will be acted upon
when congress reassembles.
Opposes Debt Cancellation
Watson and other senators have
been informed that Senator Ven
denberg (Rep., Mich.) will introduce
a bill providing unemployment in
surance through use of the federal
taxing power and that Senator
Steiwer (Rep., Ore) will champion
a bill declaring a moratorium on all
debts owed by farmers to the farm
loan banks and other federal agen-
cies.
Il will oppose both measures"
Watson said, "as each will start
endless chains of federal financing
and lead to complications. I feel
that both will fail of passage"
Watson announced that he will
sponsor a bill authorizing the FIVE
day week on all federal construc-
ton work.
