That the theme of the crucifix-
cion is one that has appealed to
many composers is evinced in the
number OF works which have been
written through the centuries on
the subject of the Saviour's last
hours on earth.
1t is this music which will be
sung by the Choral society in its
concert March % and which will
trace the development of Easter
music from the eleventh century
TO the modern anthems.
The subject of the resurrection
has been the motif for many folk
songs and noted composers have
arranged many of these beautiful
melodies into two, three, four, six

Shipments by motor truck hav
been quite heavy from the Easterl
Shore section of Virginia and Mary
land. Some of the local strawberr,
shippers have stated that probabl,
rs per cent of the crop will move b,
truck this season.
Supplies of watermelons show
( fairly rapid increase in northern
markets, but arrivals have not beer
heavy enough to compete much wifi
strawberries. Prices have been de.
| clining but at the beginning oil
June, shippers in Florida were get
| ting the equivalent of about &c
cents per medium sized melon and
northern markets were selling them
at so to rs cents wholesale. Ship
ments of melons and cantaloupes
are increasing with the progress of
the season but the cantaloupe move
ment has been lighter than it was
a year ago. Supplies of early varie-
ties of peaches from Georgia are eX-
pected soon but the crop in Georgia
and CarOlinas is greatly reduced
from the large production of year
ago. The southern Georgia crop is
reported particularly light, possibly
not more than One-siXth of the 1881
production.
Potatoes Lower
Most eastern potato markets
tended toward lower prices at the
beginning of June, owing mainly to
more liberal supplies of southern
potatoes, but shipments of old nor
thern stock still comprised about
half the receipts. Midwestern mar
kets were holding much better than
eastern. Maine was shipping heav-
lily to eastern cities and prices de-
clined to new low levels ranging
75c to SIPS ON jobbing sales. al.
though a few. southern markets
still quoted tops of $1.50.
South Carolina leads in current
output of new potatoes and supplies
are moderate as yet, but demand is
slow and most price changes in late
May and early June are downward.
South Carolina cObblers sold at
$3.25 to $425 per barrel in northern
cities and North Carolina potatoes.
of similar grade followed close to
these prices. Conditions are quiet
in most southern producing sections
and price changes are downward,
with sales around So per barrel at
North Carolina shipping points.
Cabbage Market Irregular
Prices of cabbage have been hold
ing better than those of most other
and general average is
higher than it was a year ago. Much |
stock was selling then in northern |
markets at so to IS cents per 11a- !
Dushel hamper compared with the
recent range of 81 to $1.25 on cab
page from Virginia and the Caro-
mas, but some lots are selling be-
ow 81 in a few markets.
Milford chronicle., 1932-06-10
Produce Market Notes

Many lines of green produce shar-
ed the weak and unsettled general
market conditions prevailing in car
ly June, and prices like those of
many other commodities tended
mostly downward. Supplies of fruits
and vegetables scarcely could be
termed excessive. They tend TO in
crease as usual with the progress
o. the season but carlot movement
is 20 per cent less thaI it was 4
year ago. Lower prices seem to le-
suit mainly from the limited de-
mand. Strawberry markets suffer
from the irregular and variable
quality of the crop. Lower grades
of the fruit have been selling at
some country shipping points at
about the cost of shipping and pack
ing. Much the same is true of po-
tatOes selling in producing sections
for about enough to cover harvest
ing and marketing expenses. Most
products are selling lower than they
were a year ago One exception is
cabbage, which has been in nOder-
ate supply for some time and holds
prices well at double the quota
tiOns of a year ago in some mar
kets.
Strawberries Selling lower
Shipments of Strawberries were
increasing in early June from the
mid-seasOn sections and prices have
reached extremely low levels in
some districts but were holding
fairly well in others because of
light local production or because of
premium on desirable quality and
choice varieties. The berry crop |
was delayed somewhat in the sec
ond-early states on account of wea-
ther conditions but seems to have
fully caught up with last year by
this time, and the supplies were
reaching the market from as far
north as New Jersey the first week
of June. Present rate of shipment
is greater than that of early June
last year as might be expected from
the larger production in the mid
season and late sections. Most of
the markets, including the large
eastern cities, report liberal sup
plies, moderate demand, and irreg-
ular course of prices. A range of
to. 10 cents quart basis seems to
cover most sales to the iObbing
trade, $I.25 to $4 per 32-quart crate.
Maryland and Delaware fruit sold !
at 7 to II cents in Boston and low
er elsewhere. Virginia Eastern
Shore MissiOnarys sold at to 10
cents in several markets. Not much
fruit fro mthe Norfolk section
brought more than z cents. Similar
prices were quoted in mid-western
cities on fruit from other sections.
A year ago, general range of job
bing price was to Is cents.
