Onion Markets Firm

A few carlots daily of old onions
are still moving to market but Texas
stock comprises about nine-tenths of
the supply. The California crop is
beginning to move out of producing
sections. Nearly all markets report
light supply of old onions but de-
mand is good and prices have been
we'll maintained at 1925 to S4 per
50-pound sack Some stock sold as
high as $4.15 in Philadelphia while
$3.50 was the prevailing range for
the few sales reported from Balti-
more. Texas onions have been bring
ing prices rather satisfactory to
growers an ddemand has been active
at country shipping points. Trend
of prices was slightly upward the
third week of April at shipping
points and in northern markets.
Eastern cities quoted Texas yellow
stock at $3.50 to $4 per crate. Cali
fornia brown stock topped the mar
ket at $3.50 per 5O-pound sack in
few midwestern markets.
Milford chronicle., 1932-04-29
Apple Trade Slow

Demand for eatern apples has
been rather slow since the middle of
the month in the large markets and
in producing sections. Prices hold
about steady. The reports from
western New York indicate selling
range on Baldwins of $1.10 to $1.15
per bushel per No. l stock and occa-
sional carloads of fine quality and
condition bring as high as $1.20,
while some poorer stock was quoted
$1.05. These were being mentioned
as U. S. No. but may have been be-
low grade. Truckers are active and
because of their operations it is hard
to reckon the number of cars that
will move from the State during the
rest of the season. Some local esti-
mates place the quantity of apples
yet to be shipped at between 700 and
900 cars. AS usual at this end of
the season, the market quality of the
apples is quite variable.
Most of the eastern apples now
moving in carlots are from New
York and Virginia but there is much
local activity in truck loads. The
large markets report apple supplies
moderate and demand slow at most
points. New York Baldwins follow
ed an irregular price range in east
ern markets the third week of April,
but general range was nearly un-
changed at 81 to $1.25 a bushel.
Some Staymans brought $1.65 to
$1.75 in Philadelphia and Baltimore
but most markets quoted $1.25 to
$3.50. Eastern Yorks sold mostly at
$1.25 to $1.50 and Winesaps at $1.25
to $1.75. Barrel stock of various
standard eastern varieties ranged So
to $4, eXceut Newtown, which
brought above $5 and Mcintosh
which sold above $S in New York
for best lots.

Produce Market Notes

Liberal supplies of most fruits and
vegetables and fairly steady prices
have been the rule in the produce
market since the middle of the
month. Shipments of strawberries
and some of the tender vegetables
are beginning to increase again
Combined daily average shipments
of produce are to 10 per cent
larger than they were a year ago.
Southern potato receipts have not
yet shown the full effect of the
freeze and the reduced acreage this
season. Old potatoes are maving
actively and total potato receipts
are ample in eastern and midwestern
markets. Northern onions, carrots
and cabbage are scarce and high and
the southern crop finds good mar
ket. The last part of the apple crop
is being marketed rapidly for the
time of year and prices are well sus-
tanned at recent higher levels.
Greens In Liberal Supply
Carload shipments of spring
greens are active. Receipts from
the Norfolk section this season have
been about double those of a year
ago and at present about two-thirds
of the supply of greens. except spin
ach, is from that part of the coun-
try. The season has moved north
ward as far as New Jersey, which
ships a few cars of miscellaneous
greens daily. Kale paintings in Vir-
ginia were only about two-thirds OF
last seasons acreage and the yield
per acre is also estimated nearly
one-thiTd less this season owing to
injury by freezing, which, of course,
did not kill this hardy vegetable but
made considerable trimming neces-
sary in preparation for shipment.
The spinach crop, which is far
more important than kale in the
general market, shows an estimated
production decrease of about one
third in four second early States
Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania and
ATkansas-because of reduction in
yield as we'll as in acreage. Ship
ments from the Norfolk section are
increasing just now but much lighter
than they were at this time a year
ago. Virginia spinach of the Savoy
type has tended slightly upward
since the middle of the month in New
York, but other eastern markets
show little change and price range
is still 80 cents to $1.25 per bushel,
mostly around 81.
Peas and asparagus are coming in
moderate quantities from South
Carolina as we'll as from more dis
tant sections. The price on South
Carolina peas is $1.75 to 81 per
bushel in northern markets. South
Carolina asparagus sells in six mar
kets at S1.25 to 50 per dozen buches.
Large stalks bring 25 to so cents
more than medium sizes.
Southern Strawberries are in bet
ter supply since the Louisiana pro-
ducing sections have gradually re-
covered from the March freeze. The
fruit now being shipped is of better
color than recent supplies and de-
mand should improve. There is
every reason to expect abundant
shipments of southern berries when
delayed producing sections are
ready to enter the market. Alabama.
Mississippi, and Arkansas are begin
ming in small way. but the Florida
season is about over.
Milford chronicle., 1932-04-29
Potato Prices Hold

Shipments of potatoes have shown
tendency to increase krom some of
the States since the middle of the
month but the daily average, north
ern and southern together, is well
below 1000 cars. Combined receipts
are little larger than they were in
late April last year. Prices in some
midwestern markets, including Chi
cago, have sagged back nearly to the
level prevailing before the March
freeze but eastern city markets still
show 5 to 10 per cent gain compared
with six weeks ago and have shown
little further change since the mid
die of the month.
Maine Green Mountains still fol-
low jobbing range of 95 cents to
$1.25 per 100 pounds, although a few
southern markets quote sales up to
$1.50. Western New York potatoes
sell from 81 to $1.10 and Pennsyl-
vania Round White varieties from So
cents to 81. Midwestern markets are
fairly steady but the tone was
slightly weaker at Chicago on ac-
count of liberal receipts and slow
demand. Eight carloads from Nova
Scotia and Prince Edward Island
reached Boston but prices on Canad-
ian stock were ready.

Scotia and Prince Edward Island
reached Boston but prices on Canad-
ian stock were ready.
Shipping Points Firm
The markets in eastern producing
sections showed a firmer trend as
compared with the large cities. The
advance of the week before has been
we'll maintained. Haulings by grow
ers are still light owing to condition
of the country roads but these have
improved considerably in some dis
triets. Growers are receiving around
80 cents per bushel in bulk in west
ern New York and dealers sell sack
stock at 80 cents per 100 pounds.
While many other eastern sections
have been tagging in shipments this
season New York has shipped more
than the total for the season before
by some 600 carloads.
Shipments are increasing from
northern Maine owing partly to bet
ter road conditions, also because of
slightly higher prices and the need
of marketing some of the stock which
becomes little soft during the last
part of the season. Maine shipments
have already passed the 10000 car
mark. Some local dealers are esti-
mating that shipments during May
might run as high as 5000 to 1000
carloads. No doubt there are po-
tatoes available but actual movement
must depend greatly on the course
of the market. Shipments during
May, 1880, amounted to about 5000
cars but market conditions then
were more favorable than at present.
The country markets in northern
Maine have been one Of the firm fea-
lures in the potato market during
the third week of April.
The higher prices for new potatoes
have had a steadying effect on the
market for old stock when Florida
potatoes sold at $3.50 per barrel in
sections and at $3.50 in
northern cities. The storage stock
from Maine became more. attractive
to buyers an dthe effect was to hold
or to strengthen the price range.
Some lots were selling at go cents
per lUU pounds at shipping po1nCS
compared with top of 55 cents the |
middle of the month. Prices at mid
western shipping points show little
change.
Shipments of sweet potatoes still |
average about 25 carloads a day |
and considerable Delaware, New |
Jersey, and Tennessee stock is still
reaching eastern markets. Della
ware and Maryland sweets of the I
Jersey type are steady in eastern
at so cents to 81 per bushel.
The wide range of prices is partly a
natter of condition at this time of
,ear. New Jersey stock is quoted
1t 81 to $1.25 for the best, but some
OTIS sold in Pittsburgh around so
,ents. Tennessee Nancy Halls sell
1t rs to IS cents and North Caro-
ina Porto Ricans in Philadelphia
ind Boston at 65 to so cents.

BRAND BY MAYOR NEFF
OF Mt. STERLING

Mayor c. M. Neff, widely known
chief executive of Mt. Sterling, has
forwarded to the U. S. Post Office
Department at Washington, d. c., a
petition, signed by nearly 100 mer-
chants of Mt. Sterling, Harrisburg
and Derby, demanding an immediate
and satisfactory adjustment of the
mail delivery situation in the three
villages.
The three towns are now receiving
first class mail by freight over the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad which re-
Gently was granted the right to re-
move the morning passenger train
that had served the villages for many
years.
Mail for the three places now
reaches the merchants from two to
five hours 'ater than when the pass
enger service was maintained and the
business men and women are up in
arms over the delay, claiming that
the delayed service is costing them
thousands of dollars and that they are
facing financial ruin unless the mail
service is improved
The petition and personal letter
were sent by Mayor Neff to Congress
man Charles Brand, of the Seventh
Ohio district, for the post office de-
partment, the mayor outlining in de-
tail, the poor service afforded the
protesting villages.
1t is stated that the mail on the
freight seldom reaches Mt Sterling
before noon and that the rural carriers
are not able to leave for their routes
for an hour later.
Mt Sterling is thriving village in
the corner of Madison county and
within sight of Franklin, Pickaway
and Fayette county residents. Har-
risburg is in Franklin county and
Derby is in Pickaway county. i

according to recent announcement
in the press. This is the corporation.
which has undertaken to stabilize
prices of major agricultural products,
such as wheat and cotton. In the
processes of stabilization it pur-
chased 329,000,000 bushels Of wheat
with public funds at prices about
twice those now prevailing and also
purchased about 100000 bales of
cotton at prices nearly three times

has less than 30,00O,v~J bushels of
wheat on hand. Some of this has
been hquidated at the rate of 5,000,

Mills Silent on Prohibition

The really outstanding feature OF
Mr.. Mills speech was his utter fail
ure to mention the prohibition issue.
At the Republican convention in Chi
cago, the secretary was the leading
fighter for the vague and pussyfoot-
ing prohibition plank which the con
vention adopted. He is regarded as
having spoken then at the direct re-
quest of President Hoover When
he charged Governor Roosevelt with
vagueness last night, he was well
aware that Governor Roosevelt III his
acceptance speech had come out whole
heartedly for repail of the Eighteenth
Amendment. Yet Mr.. Mills, while
calling for courage in facing national
problems, quit cold on the issue last
night. Providence, r. l., NeWs-I1ib-
