Unsettled conditions prevailed in
the fruit and vegetable markets the
first week of July. The advancing
price trend of potatoes continued
despite some Interruptions because
of increased arrivals in some mar
kets. Prices were irregular for
onions, cabbage, melons and toma-
toes. The produce market feels the
influence of higher prices in other
commodities, the better consuming
demand resulting from improving
wage and employment conditions
and the moderate carlot supply. 1t
responds also at times to the usual
liberal midsummer supply, bring
ing temporarily weaker market con-
ditions. In general, the price level
is higher than in early July last
year.
Higher Potato Prices
Potatoes continued the leading
feature in the vegetable market the
first week of July and sharp price
advances were quite general. The
potato market has responded more
vigorously than other lines of green
produce to the upward movement
of the general commodity market.
Prices are about double those of a
wear ago although shipments for the
past month were only few hun
dred cars more than those of the
same month last year. The market
continues strong and active in pro-
ducing sections and in Chicago and
other distributing centers. Prices
approached S. per barrell in the
Eastern Shore of Virginia and Mary
land. the heaviest shipping section
at present and the source of a part
of the supply of midwestern mar
kets. Virginia Cobblers sold at So
to $3.25 per 100 pounds in Chicago,
advancing sharply after the holiday.
Oklahoma Bliss Triumphs advanced
TO S2.75 and Cobblers from the Kaw
Valley of Kansas brought $3.50 to
S2.75, while barreled stock from
North Carolina sold at $3.50. In New
York supply is moderate, demand
good, but the market ranges shade
below the highest recent prices, al
though eastern Cobblers sell around
SIS per barrel for best stock. Old po-
tatoes appear to be practically out
of market.
The higher prices have encour-
aged early digging, which decreased
the actual yield because the potatoes
had not reached full size. Prevail
ence of rot in leading eastern and
midwestern producing sections
threatens further shrinkage of out
put if rainy weather continues. A
good yield is expected of the mod
crate acreage in New Jersey which
is next in line of the midseason
market supply.

HOSIERY-particularly silk ho-
siery-should be washed after
each day of use. Proper washing,
avoiding harsh homemade soap and
careless handling, will appreciably
lengthen the life of both silk and
woolen hosiery.
Suggestions for Washing
l. Make tepid or cool suds,
using mild. pure. white soap or
fakes. Very hard water can be
softened with a little borax.
2. Put silk stockings or socks
into suds and wash quickly by
swirling around and squeezing
suds through them. Finish quickly
do not soak.
Soak wooden hose in lukewaTm
suds for some time and after soak
ing transfer to fresh lukewarm
suds. Wash by squeezing suds
gently through fibers. Do not rub
hard.
g. Squeeze suds out without
wringing and put hose through
several lukewarm rinsings. Then
squeeze as dry as possible, with
out twisting.
4. Hang on line smoothly. to
prevent wrinkles and streaks.
