Produce Market Notes

Eastern produce markets are still
under the influence of the freezing
weather and storms the first half of
February, but the effects have been
gradually wearing off since the mid
die of the month. The reduced ship
ments and the rise i'm prices enabled
a few holders of potatoes and onions
to get 5 to 20 cents per 100 pounds
advance from preceding low prices.
Northern cabbage has nearly doubled
in value in some producing sections
and gained $2-$5 per ton i'm city
markets. The rise in onions and
cabbage has held better than for
potatoes. Apple prices did not change
much, the supply in cold storage be-
ing sufficient for the slow demand.
Potato markets the third week of
February lost part of the advance
and the tendency of southern vege-
tables was to recede from top prices
reached, although the freeze in Tex
as and the Gulf States threatened
to reduce shipments to northern
markets for the present.
Florida truck crops escaped Sc
we're injury. Shipments of fruits and
vegetables fell off to about 1900
cars daily for time but are recov-
cring to more nearly usual volume
because the higher prices stimulated
northern and western shipments.
Sweet potatoes are in light to
moderate supply in eastern cities
and demand slow to fairly active.
Prices show no little change. East

Virginia white yams bring 50-G5c

North Carolina red yams bring 6Oc

lima Puerto Ricans are reported at
60-75c in several markets. South
Carolina stock ranged 75-S0c per
bushel in Pittsburgh, and sold above
81 in some midwestern cities. New
Jersey sweets were about steady
and sold as high as $1.25-$1.35 in
Pittsburgh the third week of Feb.
Cabbage Higher
Reports of serious damage to the
large acreage of early cabbage in
Texas added considerably to the
mid-February strength of the cab
bage market. Holders were asking
much higher prices in northern pro-
ducing sections and there were adj
vances of S2-$S per ton in eastern
city markets.. The position was
somewhat strengthened by new re-
ports showing very severe damage
in some Texas producing sections.
New York cabbage brought $17 for
best lots i'm New York and Philadel-
phia the third week of February and
reached top of $23 far sacked stock
in Cincinnati. Red cabbage was firm
at $50 per ton in New York. Ship
ments from Texas were light hut
Florida pointed cabbage was in good
supply and inclined lower in few

S15,00,0DO SOUGHT
FOR NAVAL PLANES
SO, ,362,0 900 Would Be Spent
for 290 Ships to Compile
ment New Vessels.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Navy is recommending a $15,-
100000 expenditure out of public works
funds for new fighting planes.
The sum of 50 1862 900 would be spent
on 290 planes for complementing the
new 32-ship construction program an
nounced by Secretary Swanson. Off,
cials explained earlier information that
the s238, 100000 shipbuilding fund
covered necessary planes was erroneous
In addition to the planes for the 80
new ships, the Navy is asking $1,000, 600
for additional planes.
In the new ship program, already ap-
proved by the President, there win be
two aircraft carriers of not exceeding
10000 tons, which will operate about 90
planes each. Also there will be four
cruisers which will have plane COM
plement.
Rear Admiral Ernest King, chief OF
Naval Aeronautics, said one of the cruis-
ers probably will be a hying-deck
cruiser. operating approximately 80
planes
All the planes requested would be in
addition to the f1ve-year program Of 1926
calling for 1000. The Navy explained
the 290 would be essential for the 80
new ships, and that others are needed
because the f1ve-year program did not
cover the new 8-inch-gun cruiser re-
quirements, or the Ranger, a 13,200-ton
carrier now under construction.
The planes have been assigned to COM
plement these new cruisers and the car
rier, leaving other branches Of the naval
air service under the original five-year
standard
