Produce Market Notes

Eastern produce markets in early
January were moderately supplied
with the leading lines of northern
vegetables. Price changes were moi
numerous and general market leve
was holding most of the slight re.
coveries which occurred during the
previous, month. Potato prices were
steady to firm at country shipping
| points and nearly unchanged in the
city markets. Cabbage held near
recent price levels. Onion markets
were dull, near the prices prevail
| ing for some time past. There was
little change in the apple market
position. Southern vegetables are
increasing in supply, especially the
shipments from Florida and Texas,
and prices tend downward as usual
at this time of year,
Potato Market Steady
Recent small advances in potato
prices were fully maintained during
the first week of January. but few
further gains were reported. Sales
in northern Maine. western New
York, an dthe Great Lakes region
are at nearly steady prices. Ship
ments from eastern and central New
York have held up fully to average
quantity near the first of the year.
Prices at shipping points range from
G4-69 cents per 100 pounds com
.-...zl ,..4I, obo,,t &c oanfa in 11opfh-
ern Maine. and from 45-55 cents in
the middlewestern producing sec
tions. Dealers are not buying ac-
lively, partly because many of the
growers will not sell freely at prices
offered. New York producers are
getting mostly 27-30 cents bulk per
bushel, and those in northern Maine
from $3.50 cents per barrel bulk,
Many of the growers in Maine ap-
pear to be holding their stock for
81 per barrel but others are ready
to increase haulings at moderate ad-
vances from present level. Maine
shippers report q slightly increased
inquiry from city buyers. Maine
carlot shipments comprise about
onethird of the total from all sec
tions. Shipments have been made
into New England, New York, and
points along the Atlantic Coast.
Boat shipments from Searsport
the last week of 1882 were nearly
one-third of the entire movement,
and for the season the boat move
ment has been about One-fourth OF
the total. Prices on jobbing sales
of Maine potatoes in eastern mar
kets still range $1-$1.25 per 100
hounds sacked. Bermuda potatoes
are quoted on the New York market
at $6-$6.5O per barrel. New York,
New Jersey, and Pennsylvania round
white stock ranged 9Oc-$l.l5 III |
eastern cities. The Chicago market
is about steady at 1880 cents per
100 pounds by the carlOt.
Sweet potatoes continue in mod
crate supply and slow TO fairly |
good demand. Prices weakened
little in New York and Baltimore in
early January but firmed a little In
Pittsburgh, and the general eastern |
range was about as before at 5O-9O
cents per bushel for Eastern Shore
stock. Virginia and North Carolina.
red vans brought 50-75 cents In
New York. New Jersey potatoes OF
the Jersey type followed an irregu-
lar price trend of G5c-$l.lO per |

Federal Guarantee
For Bonds Forecast

Washington, March 2S.-(R)-presi-
dent Roosevelt's farm mortgage re.
lief program will propose that the
government guarantee interest pay
ments on bonds issued for the re-
financing Of farm obligations.
This was learned Tuesday Is his
advisers fastened preparation OF the
measure the chief executive hopes to
lay before congress this week.
In tentative form, the bill proposes
extensive mortgage refinancing dur
ing the next two years with funds
to be raised for the purpose by the
sale Of bonds as well as the exchange
Of bonds for mortgages now privately
held.
The bonds would not be . direct
obligation OF the government nor will
the payment Of their principal be
guaranteed as several farm organixa-
lions have recommended. but pay
ment Of interest would carry the gov.
ernment's definite guarantee.
It was said In competent circles
that administration leaders feel that
q government guarantee Of interest
would greatly increase marketability
Of the bonds.
