Produce Market Notes

is about the top price for cold stor-
age stock. Holdings are some $4,000
crates more than they were a year
ago. After the trade requirements
for the Christmas season have been
satisfied, the demand naturally will
be light for some time afterward,
and competition from Florida in
creases around the first of the year,
besides the rather liberal supplies
in prospect from California. East
ern markets report moderate sup
plies and fair demand, with a down
ward tendency of prices and a job
bing range of $1-$1.25 per. crate, al
though Baltimore and Washington
quoted top of $15O in early Decem-
ber.
Apple Markets Firm
Prices on some varieties of apples
tended upward through November.
The increased British tariff rates on
American apple imports tended to
check the market enthusiasm, but
country markets in New York, Vir-
ginia, and West Virginia were steady
to firm. Similar varieties sell high
er in southern producing sections
this season than i'm the North. Stay
mans reached S1.15 and Yorks 81
per bushel in the Martinsburg dis
trict, compared with 80 cents for
Baldwins and Staymans in western
New York. Greetings from cold
storage brought 1880 cents in the
Rochester district. Common storage
supplies of Baldwins have been prac-
tically exhausted. Dealers quote as
high as $1.25 for Baldwins out of
cold storage, this variety being a
light crop. Cars of various varie-
ties. loaded in bulk, orchard run,
sold at mostly 55-65 cents per 100
pounds. Shipments for export re-
Gently have shown some decrease.
Standard varieties of apples were
selling in city markets in early De-
cember at a Oibbing range of 75c-
$1.25 per bushel. Market action was
irregular in early December with
out definite trend.
Milford chronicle., 1932-12-09
Cabbage Higher

Prices of cabbage tended upward
near the first of the month but mar
kets were unsettled in producing
sections. with top price of 81 per ton
for balk Danish stock in western
New York. Baltimore and Pittsburgh
advanced 81, other markets are
about steady at recent advances, and
the general jobbing range is $12-
SIS. Prices of southern cabbage
show slightly downward trend. Ship
ments are not heavy. The weak side
of the cabbage position is the in
crease in storage holdings compared
with last year or the average of re-
cent seasons, but a considerable part
of the large crop seems to have been
wasted or damaged by freezing
weather, according to local reports.
Size of holdings in storage indicate
rather. slow disposal to date.

Celery Market Weak

Heavy holdings and rather slow
demand have weakened the celery

Milford chronicle., 1932-12-09

The firm, sometimes strong, mar
ket action of such important vege-
tables as potatoes, cabbage, and on
ions near the first of the month was
encouraging to growers at a time
when some of the staple farm prod
ucts were still selling near the sea-
sons lowest points. Advances of
5-15 cents per 100 pounds on pota-
toes, 81 to SO per ton on cabbage and
s cents per bushel on onions, COM
pared with November's lowest,
means a good percentage of gain at
prevailing levels of farm prices.
The marked improvement followed
a long period of light shipments, al
lowing a sluggish demand to catch
up with supplies, although there are
indications that the price advance
will be followed by increased re-
ceipts at market centers. Most north
ern products are in winter storage
now and holders are less inclined to
ship during times of market weak
ness. Freezing weather in the South
has strengthened the price of some
green produce, despite the usual
downward tendency of such lines
with the progress of the winter
trucking season. Northern celery,
lettuce and sweet potatoes were
weak market features.
Fruit and vegetable shipments
have recovered to near the usual
rather light volume at this time of
year, running fully 1000 cars per
weekday. Much of the activity is
in the movement of Pacific Coast
produce, including apples, oranges,
grapes, cabbage, and lettuce. East
ern produce shipments are well
maintained and the movement of pO-
tatoes, onions, and apples from
Maine and New York was increasing
in early December. New York, as
usual at this season, ships literally
and inand in great variety, including
apples, potatoes, onions cabbage,
carrots, and celery. The heavy
shipment of apples from Maine is a
feature this year. Sweet potatoes
from New Jersey, Delaware, Mary
land and farther south amply sup
ply northern city markets. Greens
are moving in considerable quantity
from the Norfolk section.
Milford chronicle., 1932-12-09
Onion Prices Hold

Prices of onions at eastern and
midwestern shipping points have
averaged about cents per so
pounds, compared with the seasons
lowest point The advances were
being quite we'll maintained in early
December and city markets also
show irregular gains. The general
jobbing price range is 40-60 cents
compared with 40-50 cents a few
weeks ago. Japanese set onions from
the Connecticut Valley bring $3.50
cents in Boston. The heaviest hold
ings of onions appear to be in New
York, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, and
Colorado, according to the Novem-
ber report, and rather more than
half the large onion crop produced
is still on hand, a condition which
indicate the slow trading which has
prevailed most of the time. Total
holdings are about double the light
stock on hand a year ago.
Carrots have not shared in the
firmer trend of the vegetable market
and top price by the carlot in east
ern producing sections is still about
80 cents per 100 pounds. New York
City market is steady at 65-75 cents.
Prices of western carrots are irreg-
ular but firm to steady.
Milford chronicle., 1932-12-09
Potato Prices Gain

Some further advances in eastern
potato prices took place near the
first of December but western and
midwestern markets were no more
than holding their own. The light
eastern crop gives some advantage
to eastern stock. Country shipping
points in New York and Maine quote
6O-6S cents per 100 pounds. Farm
ers in northern Maine are being paid
5000 cents per barrel in bulk, and
prices are now approaching the us
ual cost of production but strip
ments were increasing quite sharply
the first few days of December. Boat
shipments from Maine are active to
many distant markets along the
Southern Coast, resulting in some
agitation for lower freight rates by
competing western shippers.
Chicago top on northern potatoes
has held steady for a week past
at rs cents per 100 pounds by the
carlot. Price of Maine Green Noun
tain potatoes strengthened in New
York, reaching top of $1.25, which
was the ruling price in Washington.
Various other markets quoted Csc
$1.10 New York, New Jersey, and
Pennsylvania potatoes sold at a job
bing range of 90c-01 10 in eastern
markets.
Prices of sweet potatoes were in
clined to sag away a little in most
Markets, owing to small demand for
the moderate to heavy supplies on
hand. Declines were mostly on east
ern and southern stock. Virginia
sweets declined 15c in New York,
ranging S5c-$l per barrell, but the
basket pack was steady in most mar
kets and firm at Baltimore. Mary
land. and Delaware sweets were ir-
regular, declining in Boston but
fairly steady lsewhere. Prices of
New Jersey bushels held nearly un-
changed.

CAUTION MARKS
MOVES TOWARD
FARM RELIEF
Democratic Leaders in Con.
greSS Seem Unable
to Agree.
BY MARSHALL MNEIL
Times stan Writer

WASHINGTON, Dec. = Con
gressional leaders are moving cau-
tiously to meet the issue Of distress
on the farms, which will be drama
tized next week when the farm
marchers arrive from the midwest.
Their caution apparently is
caused by inability to agree upon
details of their program, the fun
damentals of which have been laid
down by President Elect Franklin
d. Roosevelt to the Democratic
leaders.
First Of these fundamentals is the
enactment of some measure Of farm
relief" presumably a variant Of
the domestic allotment plan.
The second is the enactment Of
legislation to refinance farm mort
cages. But whether this should be
accomplished by tinkering with the
federal farm loan system, the Re-
construction Finance Corporation
act, the federal farm board, or the
federal reserve system is unknown.
Mr.. Roosevelt is reported to favor
the domestic allotment plan as one
which will make the tariff effec-
tive" for agriculture; and farm
mortgage legislation to tighten the
growing burden of farm debt.

philadelphia Press)

Newton D. Baker made a
strong impression upon Demo-
cratic leaders in Pennsylvania
during the visit in Philadelphia.
As a result of his speech before
the Democratic Women's Lunch
con Club and his conference with
party leaders, it is possible that
the States delegation may swing
to the Ohioan after few ballots
at Chicago if the nomination is
not quickly decided.
This possibility will be in
proved if a majority Of Pennsyl-
vania's delegates are pledged to
Smith at the April primary.
Smiths popularity in this State
made him the logical choice Of
the party leaders who DO not like
Roosevelt. But the possibility
of Smiths nomination is remote,
while not only Pennsylvania but
several other states are already
considering Baker as an ideal
compromise candidate.
