The recovery and continued
strength of the potato market was
the feature of the produce trade the
first half of July. Prices again
reached $5 per barrel for best lots
in the Virginia producing sections,
and the city markets reported still
higher prices reaching $3.50 in Chi
cago. The market eased off little
from the highest points near the
middle of the month. Active trad
ing prevailed in producing sections
of the East and Middle West. De-
mand for potatoes continue good in
producing sections and city mar
kets. A moderate demand prevailed
at shipping points on the Eastern
Shore of Virginia. Philadelphia and
Pittsburgh dealers sold best lots of
Eeastern Shore potatoes at $5.25 per
barrel, but poorly graded stock from
various sections ranged 81 to $3.50
per 100 pounds.
The unexpectedly light production
of potatoes forecast in the report of
July 10 gave the markets further
support after that date. In the group
comprising Maryland Virginia, Mis-
souri, and Kentucky. the mid-seaSon
crop seems likely to turn out one
fifth smaller than indicated in June
or as compared with the light crop
of last season. 1t is not more than
half the five-year average. The fig
ures confirm the reported crop
shortage resulting from hot dry
weather in June and early July, and
81. % Il
age combined with low yield per
acre. Virginia and Maryland, lead
ing sections now, have the very
moderate yield of 125 to 1876 bushels |
per acre. The higher prices prevail |
ing this season and the recent fur
ther advances caused the growers |
in North Carolina and Virginia to |
dig their crop before it was fully |
matured. thus tending to reduce the |
output per acre. The Eastern Shore |
price opened at S2.75 per barrel in
early June, dropped to S2.25, ad-
vanced to 81, weakened again to So
near the end of June, then moved
up rapidly this month to tops around
S5. The much higher prices this
season seem to be partly the result
of the advancing trend in other COM
modiites and the somewhat better
demand Potato shipments the past
month or so have not varied greatly
in total quantity moved from the
figures reported year ago.
Supplies of cabbage are moderate
in all markets, but demand is light.
Many eastern markets quote as low {
as 80 cents to so cents per bushel
for general run of receipts and 20 {
cents to 81 for 112 bushel hampers.
Truck receipts are fairly liberal at
all markets, and the carlot move '
ment amounts to only about 10 car {
loads daily.
Northern cucumbers are now in |
liberal supply in the large markets. ;

is opened. In fact the can is often
the most convenient container in
which to keep the food. Food
spoils no faster and no slower in
the open can than in any other
container. You can leave food in
the can just as safely as you can
leave it in a dish. But Of course
you have to use the same care to
keep it cool and covered"
Foods which stand in a warm
place or in a refrigerator where
the ice supply is low are, Of
course, not safe in either a dish
or an opened can.
The Department Of Agriculture
goes on to explain that some acid
foods like fruit and tomatoes,
when stored in an open can, do
tend to dissolve iron. This may
give the food a slightly metallic
taste that is not harmful

Produce Market Notes

80 cents to 70 cents per bushel in
New York. Sweet corn follows a
wide range of prices in city mar
kets, but small yellow varieties
brought $1.50 per bushel in New
York. Tomatoes are in liberal sup
ply in eastern markets; demand
slow, and prices inclined slightly
downward near the middle of the
month. Receipts from Virginia and
the Carolinas sell in jobbing way
at 81 to $3.50 per ObX. Some from
the Eastern Shore of Maryland
reached $1.75 in New York.
Fruit Supplies Moderate
Apple shipments have been rather
light from the West and moderate
from eastern producing sections.
City markets were about steady the
second week of July, but the range
of prices was wide according to con-
ditiOn and variety. Transparent
sold generally at rs cents to $3.50
per bushel. Fancy stock of some
varieties exceeded 50 in several mar
kets. Apples of small size and poor
quality brought very low prices. The
apple crop prospects are better than
they were last season but consider
ably below average. Main shortage
is in the central region. Other ap-
pie sections are fairly close to aver
age from present indications. Most
of the recent damage was from hot
dry weather in the Middle West and |
Southwest.
Peaches are in moderate supply |
and demand in the central markets |
and prices well maintained. The |
bulk of receipts are from Georgia .
producing sections together with .
fairly liberal receipts from North I
Carolina. Georgia Hileys in six
basket carriers are quoted S2.75 to
$3.50 in New York. The price trend
was slightly upward in mid-July.
Moderate demand is reported in
sections. Shippers quote
Hileys S1.35 to $l.75 per six-basket
carrier.
Good demand is reported for mel
Ons in Georgia producing sections
at $40 to $3.50 per carload according
TO sizes. New York quotes Florida,
Georgia and Carolina melons, med
um sizes, mostly $3.50 to 1926 per
,arload.
Supplies of berries are liberal in
northern markets and prices gem
.rally low. Blueberries and huckle-
berries have been selling at 10 to IA
,ents per quart in New York, but
iome cultivated blueberries brought
20 cents or more. Blackberries and
,urrants sell to cents per quart
n the large cities. and raspberries
to 10 cents a pint. Gooseberries
we're quoted in New York at Z to 13
ents per quart in mid-July. Sour

COAL PRICE RISE
NOT JUSTIFIED

Increases N the retail price of
bituminous coal under the pro-
posed code for the industry will
not be justified, the MIRA Con-
sumers Advisory Board has
warned the pubic.
At the same time, Washington
coal merchants claim that boosts
in prices will be forthcoming only
from those firms which have been
cutting deeply under market quo
tationS, as the general effect of
the code will be merely to
stabilize prices, rather than raise
them.
However, certain of the retailers
believe that increased labor costs
at the mines might affect the
amount paid by the consumer.
In answer to this conjecture, the
MIRA group states that half of the
retail price goes to the local mer-
chant, less than a third to the
railroads, and only about 20 per
cent to the mines, which would
mean that even if mining COM
panies raised prices 100 per cent.
the effect on the retail price
would be but 20 per cent.
Meanwhile, the code for the
industry is geing readied by the
NRA for public hearings next Mon
day. Coal dealers were specifi-
cally exempted from the master
retail code already in effect.
