Trade
EXCEEDS CONSUMPTION

Montreal-(UP)- domestic
production of liquor In Canada Is
greatly in excess of the domestic
consumption causing the supplies
on hand to pile up to high levels,
according to the department of ma
tional revenue.
The quantity of domestic liquors
In bond is about 100000 gallons.
This is Scotch, rye and gin. The
annual domestin consumption of
domestic liquor is about $50, 900
gallons.
The relaxation Of enforcement of
the 18th amendment in the United
States pending repeal, has had an
effect on the Canadian exporting
business, but is not as beneficial as
some expected. When beer was le-
galized in the United States, this
act had the automatic effect of re-
moving the ban on the Canadian
export of beer of equivalent
strength, and, at border points, a
certain quantity of 1t is going. over.
The export of Canadian liquor
via the st Pierre router-the base
of the American rum row-sini-
larly has undergone some transfer
nation. Early this spring 1t de-
clined amazingly. Now it is coming
up again, but generally Is below
normal. This Is taken to indicate
either that the United States is
using the home liquor product, or
importing more through the West
Indies, or else is able to Quench its
thirst with the light legal beer.

displayed for the edification of the
reader who has been cordially in
vited to attend the shopping festi-
val as the guests of the cooperating
merchants.
There is only one point being
stressed by the merchants in stag
ing the Dollar Day at this time
and that is, that the prices on
nearly every purchasable article
are rising steadily in huge jumps.
1t is urged, therefore, that the
shoppers take advantage of the
prices that are being asked in this
Dollar Day, because their level will
never again be reached.
AS one merchant stated today
there's bargains galore in every
store with nary thought of
profit. The day is one day above all
others when the shopper can come
into his own and really get; two dol
lars worth Of quality for q one dol
lar bill. There are innumerable
bargains to be offered the public
tomorrow and it, is suggested that
those who. are contemplating par
ticipating in the event, be on hand
early when the store doors are open
for the day.
The Chamber of Commerce re-
ports that the stores as far as is
known will not remain open after
s o'clock tomorrow evening so
that the shopper win have but the
hours of 8 in the morning to 6 in
the evening to chop where in past
years the. stores were open until 8
O'Clock.

With this foundation stock,
plans were made for circus to be
held at the county fair grounds

the full endorsement of business
and professional groups as had
the Little Theater plays.

~ Played Capacity Houses
The two night stand played to
capacity houses. The receipts paid
for circus equipment which had
been purchased by. the individual
performers and for costumes which
the performers had bought.
Before the memories Of the cir
Gus had been dimmed by time
plans for other seasons were made;
sThe next season the county fair
building gave way to a big top
q canvas tent with flags and rib
bons blowing in the breeze One
rig, grew to three; two trick mules
led a dozen or more; high school
horses, bareback riders and clowns
were numerous. ~
The third season was in part
repetition ofsthe first two, only tht.i
local engagement was, longer. and
the management was swamped
with requests. for bookings at
enighboring towns. None of these
were accepted, however, because
the performers were unable to
leave their businesses, I, offices or
school rooms.
This year, with three years of'
experience, the. circus travelled 30g
miles by special train to the state
capital at Austin for al Fourth Of
July show, and played in nearby
Texasc and Oklahoma towns. 3

The circus came into being four
years ago when the closing of a
theater threatened to dissolve the
Gainesville Little Theater which
was one of the most widely known

demand. Eastern Shore, Norfolk, and
North Carolina fruit ranges mostly
&c to SC quart basis. .
Haulings were heavy in eastern
producing sections the last week of
May, demand slow, and tone of the
market weak. Sample price ranges
per 32-qt. crate were 81. to SLIPS in
the Onley district, and $1.25 to $1.50
at Oakhall and Hallwood, Pa, and
in the Princess Anne and Pocomoke
districts of Maryland. Large. choice
berries sold as high as $2.25 in. the
Marion district.
Peaches Coming
Growers of early peaches were in
terested in reports of considerable
increase in production of Georgia
peaches as compared with last sea-
son. although this years crop is ex-
pected to be moderate. Elbertas
show heavy increase, and $500 car
loads are expected to be available,
compared with about 1000 carloads
last season. First receipts of early
Georgia peaches sold at $$1 per car
rier in New York. Prices of south
ern melons declinedarapidly after the
first receipts owing to the extremely
slow demand at the high opening
prices. Warmer weather has in
creased the trade movement to some
extent lately Prices are down to
range of 35c to 75c in eastern mar
kets for medium TO large melons.
Huckleberries and blackberries are
arriving from the Carolinas at some
markets, but quality is poor as yet
and demand Indifferent. | - '''''
Apple Markets Dull

are holding fairly well in most mar
kets. Best lots of Winesaps still
bring $1.50 per bushel, and top of
$1.75 is quoted for Virginia Pippins
in New York.
Supplies Of asparagus are heavy
in eastern markets and prices low,
ranging 75c to $3.50 per dozen for
Maryland, Delaware and Pennsyl-
vania receipts in New York, Phila-
Pittsburgh, and other mar
kets. Hot house cucumbers are
steady at $2.75 to SO per crate in
Washington and other markets.
Green peas are abundant from Vir-
ginia and the Carolinas, but sell
low in eastern markets at SOC to 75c
d bushel. Spinach from Maryland,
Pennsylvania, and New Jersey is
quoted at zoe to 60c bushel in sew
eral markets. Sweet potatoes are
in small qualities and de-
mand is slow at S5c to $3.50 per
