Potato Supply Moderate

Carlot shipments of potatoes still
average under 300 daily, although
there is a slight tendency to increase
with larger receipts from New Jer-
sey, now the leading shipping sec
tiOn.
Sweet potatoes are one of the few
lines of vegetable maintaining usual
volume of shipment so far this sea-
son. Prices have continued to show
a weak trend since the middle of the
month. North Carolina sweets of
the Jersey type sold mostly at As to
65 cents in eastern cities but some
reached 81 in Pittsburgh. Virginia
sweets of the Jersey type were quot
ed 35 to rs cents.
Cabbage shipments so far have
been about one-third short compared
with last season, and the carlOt
movement continues light but in
creasing from such late State as
New York, Michigan and Minnesota.
Liberal supplies from the late crop
are in prospect since the indicated
production is not much below the
heavy crop of domestic cabbage in
1851. new y OIk CdDDdSe VI TIE ear
ly round varieties sells at SIS to $22
per ton bulk in eastern cities. Vir-
ginia cabbage was firm around $1.25
per 100 pounds in Washington.
Steady prices were quoted for New
York cauliflower at $1.25 to $1.75
per crate in New York. Eastern
celery appears in increasing guam
titles jobbing unchanged at mostly
81 to $l40 per two-thirds crate. New
York peas are steady at rs cents to
81 per bushel. Spinach from New
York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and
Maryland brings 80 cents to 81 per
bushel in the large markets. New
York tomatoes are steady at so to
rs cents per lug box. New York let
tuce is irregular but general range
has continued about the same since
the middle of the month, with job
bing sales at 25 to 60 cents per crate
in eastern markets and little high
er in some midwestern cities. Price
declines were mostly in the Middle !

Produce Market Notes


West and there were slight gains in
some eastern cities.
Fruit Selling Low
The whole list of native fruit has
been selling at low prices, although
production generally has been mod
crate. The lat crop seems to be
turning out better than the early va
rieties. Demand has been too light
to maintain the high prices which
ruled at the beginning of the season.
Peach shipments from California
and the competition of other fruits
have brought prices down rapidly
this month and a large part of the
receipts have been selling between
so cents and $1.25 per bushel crate,
although there was a tendency in
some markets to advance after the
middle of the month owing to light
shipments from most eastern and
midwestern producing sections. East
ern marekts report moderate to lib
eral supplies. A few choice peaches,
mostly of the Hale and Elberta va
rieties, reached tops of So per bush
ell in several markets. There were
many sales of North Carolina Ell
bertas from 81 to $1.75. Delaware
and Maryland Bellies brought 75c to
81 pc rbushel in Philadelphia.
Apple shipments are moving in
somewhat lighter volume this sea-
son at a rate about in keeping with
the estimated reduction in the crop.
Eastern apples, as well as those
from California, are rather promi-
nent in the markets of many sections
of the country. New York, Pennsyl-
vania, Delaware, Maryland, and Vir-
ginia early varieties sell at nearly
steady prices ranging 40 to rs cents
per bushel. Some of the midseason |
varieties sol dabove this range at rs |
cents to 81. New York Duchess was
quoted at 60 to 20 cents in Pitts
burgh.
The northern varieties of grapes |
are selling rather low throughout |
the country, generally from Is to %
cents per twO-quart basket for job
bing lots in the large cities. New
Jersey and Delaware grapes were
quoted as low as 25 to 40 cents per
l2-quart basket in Philadelphia
Prices of New York Clapps Favorite
pears tended lower at rs cents to
S1.25 in New York, Pittsburgh and
Melons and CantalOupes
Shipments of watermelons in
creased around the middle of the
month due to greater activity in Vir-
sinia and Missouri producing sec
ions. Melons are one of the few
ines showing higher price levels
han in late August last season,
because daily carlot totals
re about three-fifths those of the
time year ago. A
rice range of 25 to 35 cents whole
ale is quoted in several markets for
Medium sized melons of leading va
ieties. CantalOupes are in moder-
tie ii liberal supply in most markets
'ut rather light at New York the
bird week of August. Prices of
EASTERN Shore cantaloupes and re-
eipts from Delaware tended higher
4 several eastern markets, reach
lg a range of 40 cents to 81 per
tandard crate. Midwestern canta-
)upe markets were mostly un-
hanged.

and the various preparatory meetings
or seven years have been precisely
nothing.
Lausanne Conference.
One comparatively bright spot in
the sombre picture of the dying year
was the international conference TAX
ing place during the summer at the
Swiss city of Lausanne for the pur-
pose of deviSing some way OF getting
rid of the German war-reparatiOns
problem which had proved one of the
principal causes of a general eco
nomic crisis. The powers actually did
agree to abolish their PREPARATIONS
claims on condition that the United
States readjust the European war
debts.
That condition has not been full
filled. and the war-debts question
now as the year GIBBS away is more
acute than at any other time. At
the present moment it appears as
though the European debtors have
come to the conclusion that it will
not be possible to deal with America
until after the inauguration of Frank
lin D. Roosevelt as president, and thus
the year takes leave of one more un-
solved international problem of con-
siderable scope.
Important Elections.
Prominent among the events of the
passing year were the election of Gov
ernor Roosevelt as president of this
country, and the reelection of Paul
Won Hindenburg as president Of the
German republic. The American
election was preceded by an unusually
acrimonious political campaign, and
the events following Won Hindenburg's
reelection in Germany spelled failure
to Adolf Hitler's and his fascist
party's ambitions. They also spelled
doom to German democracy, for auto
cratic Chancellor Franz Won Papen
dispensed with parliamentary advice.
and his successor, Kurt Won Schlei-
cher, has followed his example, only

Washington, December 2S-It ap-
pears that the United States Senate
proposes to take its time in handling
the beer bill sent over from the House
last week. The holiday recess which
ends January provides the legisla-
tors with an opportunity to check up
on late sentiment in their home states.
Voters change their minds frequently
and it behooves their spokesman in
Congress to keep abreast of the
switches i'm public opinion. The Sem
ate will consume more time in it's
consideration of the beer measure
than was permitted i'm the House. AS
indicative of this intent, the Demo-
Gratis have insisted that two Senate
committees should study the House
beer plan, the Senate Judiciary sub
group to examine the constitutional
features and the Senate Finance Com
mittee to report on the revenue items.
Overshadowing the concern about
the Senate hurdles, the attitude OF
the President is uppermOst as the
"wets" could not muster twO-thlrds
vote in both Houses to set aside Pres
idential disapproval. Referring the
bill to two committees is unusual yet
it may avoid an enormous waste of
time and energy. There is always
the danger of haste making waste in
legislative intentions. Even the more
conservative advocates of beer taxes
| and of eventual repeal of the eight
| tions taken to avert a catastrophe in
the form of an adverse decision OF
the Supreme Court. The Judiciary
| committee of the Senate is expected
to make the Senate bill court proof
Then, too, reorganization is given to
the temper of state legislatures to
tack on another tax in a desperate
effort to raise revenue for the COM
monwealth, steps which may effect
ually postpone the free flow of the
beverage.
A general sales tax program will
| be kept in reserve by House leaders.
In event the Senate or the President
block the raising of revenue through
this plan they must turn to emer-
gency revenue measures. The Treas
ury Department has stated that If no
revenue bill is passed the deficit in
the fiscal year of 1884 will be at least
$780,, 100000 and probably one-half
billion dollars. The Congress is plac-
ing the Federal departments on re-
stricted diet with cuts in their appro-
priations. The feeling is growing that

OF only a few days. Mr.. Nielsen.

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
Continued from Page u


One plan which looked rather more
hopeful than most of the others sub
mitted, originated with the govern
ment of the United States, aiming at
general reduction of from 25 to
33 1-3 per cent of the armies and
navies of the respective countries. but
even this failed when England felt
she could not afford to limit her
naval program. One lesson taught so
far, remains at the end of the year
unchanged: Britannia still rules the
waves, as she has always done, and
while to come.
Disarmament work was handl-
capped by the lack of will to redeem
the pledges which the Allied powers
had given when they signed the Yer
sailles peace treaty in 1919; at that
time they insisted that vanquished
Germany must remain unarmed-or
practically sO-while the signatOrieS
themselves were to take definite steps
in the direction of actual disarma-
ment. Germany charged that the
World war victors, despite their SOL
emn pledges, had done nothing in this
direction, thus committing breach of
treaty agreements; logically it fol-
lowed that Germany could do the
same, and so she informed the world
that since nobody was willing to arm
downward she insisted an arming up
ward as it would be too dangerous for
her to remain unarmed in a world
bristling with arms.
AS the German claims we're not
generally accepted, Germany with
drew from all disarmament negotia-
tions, but there are now some indica-
tions that she may resume her part.
However, the direct and practical
results of the disarmament conference
