The general range of prices is still
holding a little of the gain made dur
ing the past month or so.
Old Onions Scarce
Only a few carloads d al ! y
of old onions are being shipped this
month, mostAOf them from New York
and Michigan and the great bulk of
the market supply is from the i'll
creasing output of southern Texas.
Heavy supplies are expected from
that source as soon as the delayed
crop reaches market condition late
this month or during the first part
of May. Production in California
also is likely to be liberal this sea-
son. Although shipments of old
onions are light, there are still con
siderable quantities on the market
from various sources.
Condition of some of the long held
stock is not very good and a wide
range of prices is the result East
ern yellow stock sells as low as So
per 50-pound sack in Philadelphia
and a few other eastern cities and
the best lots bring 81 in Boston and
Washington, but there are not many
markets quoting higher than $3.50.
Sales at country shipping points in
the East went as high as $3.70 for
best lots near the middle of the
month. Local reports indicated about
so cars left for shipment in western
New York producing sections the
middle of April. Texas onions sell
close to the price of old stock pound
for pound, ranging 1925 to $4 per
crate in northern city markets. New
York yellow onions sell at 1925 to
$4 per 5O-pound sack in six large
markets. Chile onions follow job
bing range of So TO $3.50 a crate.
Western Valencia onions are quoted
at $4 per 5O-pound sack i'll Wash

Cabbage and Carrots Clearing Up

There is still a small supply of
northern cabbage on the markets
closing out at rather high prices.
The long keeping Danish varieties
have been selling at $1.75 to $2.25
per 100 pounds in eastern and mid
western cities. Shipments amount
to only a very few cars daily, all of
them from western New York. Prices
hold well on southern cabbage.
Texas shippers are getting around
$40 per ton, which is not far from
the price obtained by shippers of the
last remaining supplies of old north
ern stock.
A few sales of New York carrots
appeared in eastern market reports
at 81 per bushel. Some rather or
binary looking stock from Holland
sold at 81 per 100 pounds in Phila-
delphia. The old carrot season is
practically over in producing sec
tions. AS usual after a season of
higher prices, growers thought of
raising more carrots this year. The
southern crop also was rather light
and prices have been holding we'll
at So to $3.50 per crate in northern
markets. Shipments of few cars
daily were still being reported from
WESTERN New York in mid-April. -.
The market season for asparagus
has worked northward as far as the
Carolinas. Many carlots of spinach
and kale are moving from the Nor
folk, Virginia, district. Virginia
spinach of the Savoy type sells at
irregular prices, declining in Balti-
more and Washington but little
higher in New York and Philadel-
phia, and the general range is SOC TO
St.t5 per bu3hel. The southern
crop is gradually recov-
ering with development of new
blooms and fruit since the freeze.
Fairly liberal production is in pros
pect. North Carolina fruit of fair
quality sells at 20 to 80 cents quart
basis in northern markets.

Potato Market Firm

Nearly all the large markets re-
port moderate receipts of old pota-
toes, although holdings on track in
10 markets amount to about 1000
car loads compared with an average
of 500 to 800 earlier in the month.
But the current shipping movement
is not especially heavy. The proper
tion of new potatoes from the South
is light and it is hard to see where
any great quantity of southern pOta-
toes is to come from ust now owing
to the serious damage and delay TO
the crop in the second early dis
tricts. Prices of new potatoes tend
ed upward near the middle of the
month and Florida shipping points
quoted as high as $3.50 per barrel
compared with So earlier iii the sea-
son.
Markets for old stock seem to be
helped somewhat by the strong po-
sition of new potatoes and the price
trend is firm in most parts of the
potato belt. A range of so to rs
cents per hundred pounds still COW
ers most carlot sales in producing
sections. The range in the East is
from so cents in northern Maine to
cents, or even so cents, in western
New York. Haulings by the growers
in most sections have been limited
by poor condition of roads. Dealers
i'll western New York are paying
growers as high as SO cents a bushel
for best stock in bulk. In northern
Maine the gFpwHrsshave been getting
SO to IS cents per barrel in bulk
Various local estimates placed Maine
shipments for the season probably
somewhere near $4,000 cars, the
actual shipments depending as usual
considerably upon the price. This
total would require probably some
what more active movement than the
present daily output around $50 car
loads from Maine.
The demand for certified seed il
Maine producing sections has been
moderate and most of the inquiry
has been coming from northeastern
points. While the stocks of certified
seed are reported to be getting a lit
tie low, the market has shown little
tendency to respond to the lighter
offerings and 11-peck bags of certi-
fed Cobblers have been selling at
1.20 to 1880 and Green Mountains
at Csc to 81. Shipments of all varie-
ties of certified seed from Maine to-
tai a little under 1000 acres COM
pared with a total of 1,75S last sea-
son. Prices of table stock in the |
large city markets have been about |
steady during the second week of
April. The obbing price range of |
95c to $1.25 is to 10 cents higher !
than it was month ago. New York
Round Whites are about steady at |
90c to S1.15 and Pennsylvania and
Round White varieties sell
at so cents to 81 in New York and
Baltimore. The Chicago market is
firm at IS to 80 cents per 100 pounds
by the Carlot. but an irregular trend
prevails in other midwestern mar
kets. Tops of 81 per barrel for new
potatoes tend to strengthen the gen
sral position.
Shipments of sweet potatoes still
amount to from 25 to SO cars daily,
including rather liberal movement
from Delaware and New Jersey A
few carloads daily arrive from the
Eastern Shore district. Delaware
md Maryland sweets sell at 60c to
81 per bushel in eastern cities. Vir-
yinia white yams are quoted at 40
o so cents in Philadelphia and Bal
imore. New Jersey potatoes of the
Jersey type bring mostly 75c to $1.10. {

JAPAN EXPECTED SHOW
 MORE CONC|L|ATORy
 SPIRIT ID THE LEAGUE

GENEVA, Feb. 25. (P)-The dele gation to the League of Nations Council threatens to take most drastic action against the Japanese at the forthcoming general assem- bly, session of the Far East conflict.
 The delegation spokesman said they would invoke punitive sane tions and economic boycott pro- vided under Article XVI of the League covenant, unless the Japan ese show a more conciliatory spirit.
 Article XVI never has been in voked in the history of the League, so there is no precedent for it's ap- plication. Many League officials consider it should not be invoked by the individual nation, but by the assembly, giving 1t authority of 52 nations.
 Such action would be taken only after every other means of arbi- trating the temporizing conflict had been exhausted.

JAP OFFENSIVE IN WEST K|ANGWAN
 COLLAPSED. SAID GUESTS AT HOTEL IN NIGHT CLOTHING GO INTO
 PUDDLE

SHANGHAI, Feb. 25. P)-U. s. warshipS in the Whangpoo River and U. s. citizens in the Interna : tional Settlement were in line of the Severest bombardment of Shanghai warfare, when the Chin csc artillery in Chapel opened fire on the Japanese fleet.
 A huge railroad gun at North Station and Chinese artillery bat tery nearby shelled the water front two hours, dropping high explosives near the Japanese flagship Id zuma and the Italian WarShip Libia. The U. s. cruiser Houston and several destroyers were within range, but the shells dropped short of their positions. The fire was directed at the Japanese Consulate which narrowly escaped damage.
 Shells from the North Station screamed over the Settlement and crashed along the waterfront, spreading fear among foreigners in the district, especially at the AStor Hotel where guests huddled to- gether in night clothes expecting the building to be destroyed.
 The bombardment ceased early in the morning after the Italian Consul General protested to the Chinese. The railroad gun was re- moved, but the Chinese continued to resist strongly the Japanese at- tack along the Chapel and Woo sung front.
 At Kiangwan, where the Japan csc claimed they had pushed thru within two miles of Tazant, strat- egically important village west of Kiangwan, the Chinese fought back desperately and the Kuo Min News Agency announced that the Jap anese offensive had collapsed.

 FROM HOME

SHANGHAI, Feb. 25. (P) - The Chapel district yesterday was but a mass of flames as the result of fires started in that area and of such extent that nothing could be done to keep them from spreading.
 It is said that the Japanese have started all these fires with the hope of keeping the Chinese troops from becoming too active before the Jap aneSe receive endorsements from Japan. The fires continued to spread over a large area.
 The Chinese, it is understood, will use their guns to prevent the Jap anese endorsements from landing when they arrive and it began to look as if the Chinese intended to clear the area before the arrival of these achievements to the Japan csc forces.
 The Chinese said that they had successfully resisted the Japanese onlaughts so far and leaders said they would continue to do so until the last man"
 A number of hand to hand en- agreements were reported along the front of hostilities but major ac- tivity was carried on in the air. The Japanese have launched a great aerial attack on the Chinese and in one locality dropped 30 of the big bombs alone.
 The Japanese also bombed one of the Chinese railways. They in flicted considerable damage to the track and the roadbed of the rail- read which is an important com munication line to the Chinese forces.

 They attempted to encircle the village and tore gap in the line which the spartan Chinese held. These posts were firmly held, though surrounded as the Japs pressed to the west.

 Large numbers of Japanese dead and wounded were brought back; officials said most of these would not be picked up until the battle ended.

JAPAN TOLD F CHANGED ONE TREATY, MAY NEED

WASHINGTON, D. O., Feb. s. The United States transmitted a note through Secretary of State Stimson to Japan, warning the lat ter that if she does not consider the sovereignty of China that the United States may be forced to re- consider her agreement as to linn itation of Pacific battleships.
 According to an agreement prev iously adopted, the United States and Japan agreed that the Pacific forces of the two countries should be on a ratio of five to three with the United States agreeing that she would not make any further fortifi- cations in the Philippine Islands and Guam.
 The United States informed Ja- pan that If she was desirous of changing the Nine Power Pact that the United States might desire to change the Washington Naval treaty.
 The United States, in making these overtures to Japan as a peace move, is undertaking this as a means of protecting the future of American business as China is one of the Far East's richest markets and holds even greater possibilities for the future.
