Carrot Market Firm

Prices Of carrots are holding at
the higher level reached during the
past few weeks. Shippers in western
New York estimated only 100 10 1926
cars remaining in that section, and
some Of these were owned by soup
canning companies and stored for
shipment Holders were in no great
hurry to sell even at the higher
prices now quoted at $3.50 TO $40
per 400 pounds.
Y Washed stock in so pound sacks
and bushel baskets brought $3.50 to
$$1.55. Prices at shipping point
were only moderately lower than
jObbing prices in city markets. New
York carrots ranged $275 to $3.50
in New York and washed stock went
as high as 50 a bushell in Boston.
Carrots are moving in considerable
quantity from California and Texas,
but prices on the new crop have been
well maintained
Milford chronicle., 1932-03-11

The recent sharp rise in onion
prices, based on light remaining sup
plies, was still a leading feature OF
the vegetable market in early March.
Cabbage, carrots, and apples, also a
few kinds of early southern produce,
shared slightly in the upswing. Po-
tatOes failed to respond, owing to
liberal track holdings in cities and
the renewal of heavy shipments.
Combined forwardings of fruits and
vegetables have increased to about
the same number of carloads moving
at this time last year. The markets
are well supplied with most kinds of
early fresh produce, especially
southern green's and western lettuce
and celery. The strawberry season
is progressing much faster than
usual

Onions Higher

The onion markets began TO show
strongly the effect of decreasing
stocks held in storage. Prices ad-
vanced sharply in late February and
have been fully maintained, so far,
this month. Tops of So per 5O-pOund
sack were reached in few eastern
markets. Supplies were reported
moderate in nearly all eastern mar
kets. Track holdings in II leading
markets average little heavier than
last month, but new shipments are
light, hardly more than so carloads
daily mostly from New York, Michi-
gan and Indiana. New York yellow
stock followed II iObbing range Of
S2.25 to SO per so pounds in eastern
and wid-western markets. Top price
for Canadian onions was S2.75. Chill
can onions of the Spanish type adj
Vaneed about 10c per crate the llrst
week of March. Some large Spanish
type onions from the State Of wash
fngton brought $3.50 in Pittsburgh,
which was top price for most i'm
ported Spanish stock. Foreign on
ions have not been able to compete
much as yet owing to tarin restrie-
tions, hut the price level is becoming
of interest to importers of Egyptian
onions, some of which are available
for shipment. The crop in that coun-
Try is reported little larger than
it was last year. Present arrivals of
foreign onions are mostly from
Chile and Spain. They sell close 10
present rising values Of native
stock.
Sales in the western New York
producing section were above SZ.bJ
per 80 pounds. Prices were well
maintained, but demand was quiet.
Values were still rising III some
mid-western producing sections. One
carlot in the Grand Rapids district
brought $2.70 per 50 pounds, but
most sales We're around $3.50. The
limited holdings Of northern onions
seem likely TO have the market to
themselves for Il month to come or |
until Texas onion sections begin TO |
ship in moderate way during April. |
Northern growers are reported max
ing plans for next seasons crop. and |
there is talk of increased acreage in |
some districts.

HOME FINANCING
TO Be DISCUSSED
U. S. Building and Loan
League Will Face Problems
at French Lick, Ind.

Reserve credits. Government recon-
striction programs in which the home
financing institutions are included and
adoption of the building and savings
i,Ian on a wider scale will be consid-
cred at the convention of the United
States Building and Loan League at
French Lick. Ind, September |, 2 and 8.
The convention. to be attended by
delegates from building and loan in
stiutions in all sections of the coun-
try, will mark the fortieth year OF the
leagues operation.
Many Are 40 Years Old.
In this connection, 1t is reported that
3.70O of the countrys building and loan
associa tions are 40 years old this year.
william E. Best Pittsburgh, president
of the league, finds that practically
every State is represented in this list
and that more than 400 of the associa-
tions have passed their 50th annlver-
sary and that some are still Older.
He sees in these reports witness to
the stability of the associations whose
business is based on monthly repay
ment mortgage plan.
The French Lick convention Will
have as one of its chief objects the
paving of the way for another 40 years
of sound and safe operation for these
long existing associations, as well as for
those which have been founded during
the last 40 years Our job at this con-
vention is not only to bring home credit
into wider use, but also to make 1t pos
sible for all who want building and loan
mortgages on sound security to have
them. This involves thorough discus
sion of reserve credits, Government re-
construction plans in which the home
financing institutions are included and
the development of the building and
loan savings plan among those who
have not yet acquired the thrift habit.
All of these subjects will occupy pri-
mary places on the convention program.
Made Greatest Growth.
1.-THE greatest growth in the building
and loan business has taken place in
the 40 years during which the United
States League has been in operation as
their central organization. The total
assets of the associations are now close
tc $4,000 100000. as compared with
s473oOO, 900 in 1898. This gain was due
not only to the formation OF new aSSocl-
ations. but to spectacular growth dur
ing the last 40 years the part of the
Individual associations whose charters
antedated the leagues organization.
Our list of 40-year old associations now
includes 35 of these, with assets of more
than s1O,0OO,OO0.
Entries in the national speaking con-
test, which will take place at the United
States League Convention, now include
six from the States of Louisiana, New
York, Illinois. New Jersey, Massachu-
sets and Missouri.
Meetings of the special divisions have
been assigned places on the three day
program, including the appraisal dlvl-
sion whose chairman is Edwin Elm

WIRED FOR ELECTRICITY

More than two-thirds of the homes
in towns under 10000 population are
wired for electricity, according to a
compilation recently made by the
Household Magazine, based on data
gathered by the Department of Com
merce.
This figure 6743 per cent in towns
OF under 10000 population, is slightly
higher than the national average of
66.77 per cent of homes wired On the
other hand. in cities over 10000. more
than out of 10 homes t91.68 per cent?
are wired for electricity, while only
1892 per cent of farm homes were SO
equipped. The figures are for the year
1890.
Wide variations in the percentage of
homes wired in different regions are
revealed. The Pacific region leads in
the percentage of homes wired in cities
OF over 10000 and is second only to
New England in the percentage OF farm
homes wired, approximately half of
the farms being wired in each Of these
regions. The regions in which an
aboveaverage percentage of homes in
towns of under 10000 were wired were
New England, Middle Atlantic, East

city's taxable basis for the next year
may drop to $2000.000. 900 or below,
the smallest figure since 1923, accord
ing to unofficial forecasts at the City
Hall.
The basis for 1882, in round figures,
is s2.127, 100000, approximately S97,-
100000 below that of 1881, which was
almost s2,25O,OOO,OOO, high-water mark

Up to and including 1881 the city's
taxable basis rose year by year, al
most doubling in decade. The basis
for the current year, instead of con-
tinuing the upward movement, regis
tered a decline. Last year l cent on
the rate was figured as producing s12O.-
0U0; this year l cent on the rate is
calculated to produce $4,000.
Next year l cent will produce con-
siderably less. How much less no one

NEW INDUSTRIES
AID REALTY SALES
Expansion Expected for BuSi.
ness Projects Started Un-
der Economic Stress.

The economic conditions prevailing
today have caused considerable num-
Der of new industries to come into be-
ing to promote ideas of cheaper manu-
facture and to produce articles for
public consumption at lower costs. ac-
cording to Louis B. Beardslee of Chi
cago.
This has helped to create a market
for small properties throughout the
country, and many of these operations,
develop into sizable operations which
will require larger plants in the fu-
ture, he told members Of the indus
trial property division of the National
Association of Real Estate Boards at
the convention of realtors last week at
Cincinnati
During the past several years in
dustry has committed itself to a pro-
gram of utilizing one-story buildings
to such an extent that there are more
one-story plants erected at the pres
ent time than any other type" Mr.
Beardslee said The one-story build
ing, therefore, has become the more
readily marketable of any class of in
dustrial property. While it is true that
industry has not been prone to invest
money IN properties, II mas Deen Wiling
to increase its plant efficiency by ac-
quiring available one-story plant
structures that promised economies OF
operation.
Plants that have expanded, ard
then had to retrench, have found
themselves with considerable areas of
floor space for which they had no i'm
mediate, or perhaps future use. This
has brought into the market a factor
of competition that has resulted in
many plants acquiring excellent pro-
pertieS at low cost and low rental. Due
to the extreme retrenchment of indus
try, many branch plants have been
permanently abandoned. Failing some
times to dispose of the property by sale
the owners have offered the properties
for lease at very law rentals, especial
ly on short leases. Industry has
been quick to avail itself of such oppor-
tunities."
