Produce Market Notes

Eastern produce markets were
showing a stronger tone by the
! second week at February, although
the price position was unsettled.
Northern sources of the fruit and
vegetable supplies had been cutting
down shipments because of bad
weather and roads. There was some-
thing like growers strike In parts
of Texas where the low prices had
made shipments Improbable, but the
freeze of February and 8 was ex-
pected 70 change the southern sit
uation considerably owing to extern
sive crop damagage reported from
California eastward through almost
the entire winter shipping region.
City markets still reported ample
supplies of most kinds of produce at
the rate of about 1000 carloads per
week day. Cabbage. apples. potatoes.
sweet potatoes, and a few of the
southern vegetables sold u little
higher in city markets. Others still
showed weak, unsettled trend. On
ions continued to sell near lowest
levels. The cabbage and potato sit
uatiOn seemed TO be Strengthening in
most producing sections.
Sweet Potatoes Irregular
Market conditions are rather un-
settled and irregular for. sweet po-
tatoes. Prices have been holding
better In the Middle West than in
The east. Supplies are moderate, !

Cabbage Market Firm.
Cabbage market strengthened a
little during the first ten days of
February because of lighter ship
ments from Texas, the possible effect
of freezing weather In that section,
and the reduction of shipments from

southern shipments. Trading was

tlons, but tone strengthened with the

They. Say Lefty,s Slipping


 One of the most interesting items gathered by the intelligence dspart- ment concerns Lefty Grove. the re- nowned speedballer from the hill country.
 At the writing, Grove has done no better than break even in six engagements, and anyone who has followed the box scores the last five CT six years knows that isn't at all like the As southpaw Why, two seasons ago, the real hot weather had passed and a blanket was be- ginning to fsel comfortable before Lefty lost his third game.
 At any rate, the report is that Lelty's fast ball isn't quite what it used to be. The batters, we gather are oegining to see it before it evsn reaches the plate.
 Somehow, it's a little difficult to believe the Lonsconing Lefty al- ready is beginning to get frayed around the edges Hes built to last a lifetime on the mound, tall and lean and wiry as a rawhids whip. He's never known what sore arm felt like.
 There's just possibility that Groves poor start hasn't been en- tirely his own fault. The As short stopping has been pretty ragged and uncertain most of the spring, and there's nothing will sap a pitchers confidence quicker.
