seed.
Sweet Potato Supply Moderate
The crop of sweet potatoes was
estimated only per cent above the
average production but IL per cent
below the very large crop Of 1882.
The shorter crop and higher prices
this season seem likely to raise the
value Of the crop rs to 80 per cent
above that of the preceding crop.
Recent market trend has been up
ward but prices became somewhat
irregular the third week of January
with few declines of to 10 cents
bushel in eastern cities while mid
western markets were firm. Della
ware stock ranges 75c to $1.25 per
bushel in. eastern markets. North
Carolina Red Yams sell near $1.15 in
New York. North Carolina Porto
Ricans were steady at 20 cents a
bushel in Washington.
Apple Markets Firm
A firm trend has prevailed in the
domestic and foreign apple markets
this month, with some further price
gains. General iobbing range of
eastern bushel packs has been most
ly 81 to $1.75 for good fruit. The
larger part of the graded apples in
the Shenandoah Valley region is re-
ported held in storage by few deal
ers. Condition of the fruit in that
section continues good, only occas-
ional lots showing scald, bitted pit
or excessive decay. Common stor-
age stock has been mostly sold. Most
of the fruit exported is being ship
ped to the mainland of Europe, sizes
being not so well adapted to demands
of the English trade. Carlot sales
of Rome, Stayman and Black Twig
ruled $3.50 barrel and $3.50 a
bushel with large sizes so to rs cents
higher per barrel
Most of the apples being shipped
from western New York are moving
from cold storage. Prices are firm
with Baldwins S125 bushel, Green
ings $1.25 to $1.35. Much fruit is
moving out under lower grades at
lower prices. including Baldwins at
20 to 30 cents. Ben Davis are firmly
held at $3.50 to $3.50 a barrel for ex-
port. Many shipments of fruit from
this section have been made to mid
western markets. Eastern city mar
kets hold prices firmly. Best Green
lngs reached top of $1.65 a busheI
in New York and some Staymans
reached $1.75 in Philadelphia. Bald
wins followed a wide jobbing range
Of as cents to $1.4O.

Produce Market Notes

Fruits and vegetables began the
second half of January under infiu-
cnce of rising prices. in the January
commodity markets, but the erect
was offset by fairly liberal supplies
in most lines Of products ana the
price trend became irregular WIN
some declines from the high levels
ruling early in the month. Fresh
produce is coming to market IN
about the same quantity as during
the second half of January a year
ago. CarIot movement of rs products
amounts to about $500 per week
day. Potato shipments have been
heavy and comprise One-third OF the
carlots. Onion movement continues
active but supplies Of old cabbage
are tapering off.
Prices of cabbage and some kinds
of southern produce tend lower with
gradually increasing supplies. Po-
tato and onion receipts are liberal
but prices hold up fairly well,
especially in the middle west. Spin
ach has been selling lower than 1t
sold last season, under competition
with other greens. Lettuce and cell
cry sold lower after the middle Of
the month. Florida lettuce sells
poorly in competition with local sup
plies of hothouse lettuce and ample
receipts from California. Apple
prices are fully maintained, despite
good and low price southern straw
berries and fairly large supplies of
oranges.
Potatoes Fairly Steady
Although potato markets have been
irregular this month, the general
average of price has held up surpris-
ingly well under the liberal supplies
shipped during the first three weeks
of January. Prices are steady to
firm in eastern producing sections
and slightly lower in some eastern
city markets. Mid-western and west
crn producing sections and central
markets have again tended upward
since recent cold weather. New York,
Pennsylvania, Delaware and Mary
land potatoes have been nearly
steady in price in eastern markets
at jobbing range of $1.60 to $1.S5 |
per 100 pounds.
A heavy movement of seed pota-
tOes is expected from northern Maine !
the second half of January. Price |
for selected cObblers recently ad- |
vanced from $2.7O to $2.95 per 10 |
peck bag. Certified stock sold at a
slight premium over sales of selected |

eral under The leadership of Senate,
Edw. Costigan, Dem, of Colorado

lative program including the anti
lynch bill.
To Push Anti-Lynching Law.
He intends, he said, to press for
enactment Of the Wagner-Costigan

off in the seventy-third congress with

vides punishment not only for Off
