 Storrs, Local Representative)


 Wednesday, March 4-There was weaker tone evident for live poul- try than at this time last week. Fowl prices were down Pc or Sc per pound and broilers were quoted lower by SC or more per pound. Leghorn fowl sold for 200 per pound when in good condition and less when not up to top grade. Colored kinds went mostly for 22c to 25c. Broiler prices ranged between 33c and 38c per pound for the bulk of offerings. Leg horns were from 33c to 35c, Reds mostly around 35c and Rocks from 35c to 38c per pound.
 Dressed poultry remained firm and unchanged. Offerings of dress ed broilers were light and prices moderate in supply and held steady. The supply of dressed chickens was made up mostly of western stock from storage where heavy birds weighing from to 6 pounds were available, smaller sizes of native dressed bullets being available to some extent.
 Offerings of apples from nearby sources continued to decrease and out of state sources were supplying a larger proportion of the total on 1oAS' III dudAtAou tO tu0 WcSLcEH boxed varieties offered by wholesal- CTS larger receipts from such nearby states as New York came in during the past week of Baldwins. Higher prices resulted due to increased cost of transportation and dressed supply. Demand for Baldwins was holding active western boxed kinds were not meeting with buyers favor except to a limited extent.
 Eggs remained firm and unchang- ed fresh (which now make up near ly the total supply of westerns), but natives were barely steady to weak. Unless otherwise stated quotations are based on sales of good mer- chantable products to retailers OF similar buyers, delivered.

Utilities in the Last Hours Went Up From 1 to } Points Indus trials
 Were Off Fractions to a Point Railway Shares
 Started to Come Back !.
BY ELMER C. WALZER GInffnH Droee navrAol Exltfr


 New York, March 4-(UP)-Ad- journment of congress was the sig nal for a rise in utility shares on the stock exchange to-day and the whole list met support after a wide break in railroads had undermined confidence.
 Near the end of the fourth hour utilities were up fractions to nearly 2 points with Standard Gas leading at 83 3-8. American & Foreign Pow CT rose to 43 IA up 1 IA; Consol- idated Gas 99 1-2 up 1; Electric Power & Light 55 3-4 up 1 1-4; United Gas Improvement B up 1-8; and National Power & Light Al 3-4 up 1 5-8.
 In the industrial list prices were. off fractions to more than a point 200 mark against a previous close Of 204 3-4. U. s. Steel held just un- der the previous close and more than a point above the low. Other leading issues met support.
 Railroad shares also came back
 To-day's grist of dividend changes included some large com panies. Chi cago. Rock Island & Pacific reduced the dividend from $7 to $5 annual ly; Lehigh Valley from $3.50 to $2.50; Youngstown Sheet & Tube AAOhi 70 Ic @fp 6ChSIdl <hIuSILCdH Tank Car omitted the regular stock dividend of per cent annually; Southern Porto Rico Sugar and Fed era1 Screw Works eliminated divi- dends.
 At the same time U. s. Tobacco raised it's annual dividend from $4 to $40 and regular quarterly divi- dends were declared by American Water Works. Kansas City Southern Railway, Auburn Automobile, Con- gress Cigar and Phelps Dodge.
 Several companies omitted divi- dends yesterday, including Reming- ton Rand, Phillips Petroleum and United Carbon. These issues togeth- CT with today's group, reacted sharp ly.
 Fear of dividend changes was the principal incentive for selling rail- road shares.
 The street interpreted bullishly the news from India that the British and Gandhi factions had agreed upon a truce. This was expected to bring out better demand for cotton and to help the price of silver. The latter

CANTALOUPE CROP DOWN
STATE SURVEYED BY EXPERT
HARRY S.GABRIEL OF EXPER-
NIENT STATION, REPORTS
285,OO0 Yearly He Says-In-
dustry is Expanding

The University of Delaware Ag-
ricultural Experiment Station has
published a pamphlet by Harry S.
Gabriel in which he gives the re-
suits of survey made of the mar
keting of Delaware cantaloupes
and makes number of sugges-
tions to increase their sale. The
writer declares that many stores
charge more for western than for
eastern cantaloupes and the major
ity of homemakers are unable to
select a good quality cantaloupe.
1t is declared that cantaloupes re-
ceived by many restaurants are
too green or too ripe. The prices
charged for servings of cantaloup-
es, 18 cents in restaurants and 25
in hotels is sufficient to guarantee
a good quality, the survey indi-
Gates. The total value of the crop
in the United States is given as
$20,000,000 and the Delaware crop
is worth $285,000 The industry is
expanding in the west but not
growing in the east. The yield per
acre in Delaware is less than in the
United States as a whole and the
price is less than for the Maryland
and California cantaloupes. It is
declared that most of the canta-
loupes grown in Delaware go to
large cities. Most of the growers
show little care in the selection of
seed. 1t is pointed out that
strain of cantaloupes should be Sc
lected better adapted to meet east
ern needs. A large acreage might
be planted of maturing varieties to
spread the season over a longer
period. Farmers should stop pick
ing immature melons for the pur-
pose of getting the earlier markets.
1t would also be well to reduce the
number Of different sized pack
ages, Mr.. Gabriel asserts.
