Produce Market Notes

Shipments of produce increased t
over 5000 carloads per day the
first two weeks of October This rate
is about as usual at the season. Re-
cent shipment gains are mainly In
potatoes and apples which are neal
the height of activity. Onions, sweet
potatoes and cabbage are active and
celery increasing.
Truck crops are doing well in
most sections. October reports show
ed gains in production prospects for
fruits and vegetables us compared
with the preceding report. Crop re-
ports apparently had little effect on
the produce market.
Most price changes so far this
month have been downward for po-
tatoes, onions, celery and cabbage.
Tomatoes and cucumbers advanced
sharply for good stock and receipts
of these vegetables from the south
and southwest are beginning to ar
rive. Prices of apples, pears and
grapes are holding about steady.
Apple Prices Hold
Market action of apples has been
fairly satisfactory. Shipments have
been active during the harvest sea-
son but city markets show little evil
dence of over-supply, indicating that
many of the receipts are intended
for storage. Demand is reported
from slow to fairly active. Jobbing
prices of standard varieties range
mostly from 81 to $1.35 a bushel but
higher prices up to $3.50 or more are
paid for choice varieties such as De-
licious, Mcintosh and Jonathan. Not
many of the Baldwins and Green
ings offered in city markets sell
above SIPS. Prices now do not vary
much in the middle west as cofnpar-
ed with the east. Considerable guam
titles of ordinary unclassified stock
from nearby orchards caused some
Varieties to be quoted lower In city
markets than in producing sections.
Most receipts are in bushel baskets i
and boxes. The barrel has nearly
disappeared from the market except |
for ungraded stock or for export ,
Carloads of bulk apples are report
ed on some markets mostly from |
Virginia, New York and Maine. |
These sell mostly 50 to $3.50 for
we'll colOred fruit.
Range of apple prices In produc- |
ing sections. eastern. southern, mid
western and northwestern. is mostly
81 to $1.35 a bushel on leading va
'rieties and grades. Baldwins sell at
$1.30 in western New York and
SIPS in western Michigan and Wine
saps at SLIPS in Virginia and West
Virginia orchard sections.
Cold storage space in the Shenan-
doah Valley is filing with apples
much faster than expected although
harvesting of the late varieties is by
no means past its height. Delicious,
Grimes and Jonathans have been
picked, also many Romes. Stay
mans and Yorks and some Winesaps.
The market for Yorks has been un-
but has improved some
what above the lowest of the season
and not many good lots seem TO be
offered below 81. other varieties ,
range from 81 to $1.35 and have
shown but little change so far this /
month. Range of prices is much I

WORDS
By Charles Bancroft

Sadness often comes from speaking,
When the quiet and silent way
Might for us win greater submits
Than we could by things we say.
Words may calm a troubled con-
science,
Words to great deeds oft inspire;
Words of bitterness and hatred
Only set our minds on fire.
Simple words are worth our choos-
ing,
When our hearts would be sincere;
Like those words that breathe for
giveness,
Angels cease their songs to hear.
Words Of comfort. words imploring,
Still today mankind repeat,
That disciples on the hillside
Heard while listening at His feet.

Onion Markets Dull

| OulOH MuEhCbb OulI
Demand for onions continued
slow. Good yellow stock in western
New York and western Michigan
producing sections is quoted around
Csc per so pounds. In the Rochester
district, 10-pound bags are quoted
around Ice. Eastern city markets
report moderate supplies and rather
slow demand at generally steady
price of 20 to S5c per so pounds.
Red onions sell little higher than
yellow in New York.
The cabbage market has continued
extremely dull everywhere. Prices
to growers declined 81 to IS per ton
for bulk stock in western New York
and some kraut factories paid only.
$3.50 in the east but prices in the
middle west are several dollars
higher. There is probably 500 more
cabbage in western New York this
season than a year ago and price
has declined almost steadily since
the middle of September. Shippers
are finding it hard to dispose Of
loaded cars at $6 to 81 per ton In
bulk. Eastern markets quote long
keeping cabbage at $40 to SIS per
ton in bulk and domestice cabbage
$40 to $12. Red cabbage has declin-
ed in New York but still brings $50
to $23 ton on the small quantities
required. Demand for carrots has
been light Bulk stock has been SELL
ing at $11 to $14.50 per ton in cas-
tern producing sections and bushel |

Much of the carlot demand has |

The celery market remains dull |
despite light shipments. Production
is generally lighter compared with
last year but there are increases in
some western states and California
celery is likely to compete severely.
Some New York celery is moving to
Most sales in the Rochester
district are around 75c per two

this stock slightly lower at 75c to

toward the middle of the month at
35 to SOC per highball crate.
Lettuce markets are on the whole
1 little lower for western stock as
with the week before and
general range is 50 to $3.25 per
rate. Eastern celery sells below rev

VICTORY FOR

didate the Democrats have named
for this high office in the memory
of anyone living. This in spite oi
the fact that he supported President
Roosevelt loyalty.
This unpOpularity began shortly
after his election, which, by the
way, came about through a split in
the Republican ranks and a third
ticket for Congress. He openly quar-
relied with three of his party's re-
spOnsible eaders-National Com
mitteeman James NJ. Tunnel, Ma
tional Committeewoman Mrs. Mar
guerite Bodziak, and State Chair
man John Biggs, Jr.
This quarrel over patronage,
which smouldered for months, fin
ally broke out in the open, and
Adams popularity took a sharp
drop. Dormant for more than a year,
it broke out again in a particularly
bitter fashion at the State COnven-
tiOn.
There, every conceivable "ffOrt
was made by those who pull the
strings to thwart Adams ambition
to be the party's Senatorial nomi-
nee. His opponents even attempted
to force Hugh NJ. Morris, former
Federal judge, to accept the nomi-
nation, but the distinguished former
jurist declined to be a party to 1t.
Even after Adams agreed to with
draw in order to make Morris nom
nation unanimous, the latter fatty
refused to enter the fight.
With Morris out of the picture,
the convention went out of hand.

The leaders in that revolt now are
back in the harness and pulling
their share of the load in Sussex
and New Castle counties. Their re-
turn to regularity should make more
certain a full Republican victory on
November 6.

have made an analysis of the home
accident cases treated in their clin-
les with some surprising results
Over a period of nine months the
Delaware, Homeopathic and Will
mington General Hospitals have re-
ported a total of 374 accidents. The
types of injuries resulting are as
folls; Falls; struck by falling OBJ
jects; striking against objects;
handling, lifting or carrying OBJ
jects; burns. scalds and explosions;
asphyxiations and suffocations; fire.
arms; poisons; cuts and scratches;
and miscellaneous.
3 When it is recalled that the ma
jority of these hospital clinic cases
are not pay cases one of the real
burdens to the hospital and to the
community caused by these needless
home accidents is evident.
Nationally the measure of the
home accident seriousness can be
roughly called one-third of the
whole accident problem. Last year
there were 29,50O home accident
deaths recorded out of a total of
10000 fatalities. The division by
type of accidents is as follows:
1900 or about one half are caus-
cd by falls 1913 of these accidents
happen to people 65 years of age or
over).
$500 burns. cOnflagrations and ex-
plosions (principal cause of child
home fatalities).
1900 pOisOns; 1.2O0 asphyxiations;
500 firearms; 800 mechanical suffo-
cation and 5000 miscellaneous.

The Forty was rocky and barren,
No crops in its soil would grow
Yet the farmer continued his plow-
ing
And continued his grain to SOW.
They say that hope springs eternal
Yet how can man be so rash?
Then the government stepped in and
told him:
Cut it out and we'll pay you in
cash"
The farmer winked and smiled
smugly
AS he cashed his government
check.
Il told you that Forty would pay me
And here's evidence of it, by heck!"

Michigan. There is good demand fol
red varieties in the east, particu.
larly the Baldwin, but not many
sales have been reported. The Bald
win crop, long the leading eastern
variety, is light this season because
of winter injury in New York State
and apparently many of the trees
will not recover. Such varieties as
Mcintosh and Delicious are quoted
as high as $1.40 bushel in eastern
and southern producing sections,
which is close to top prices reported
from the Pacific Northwest. q.
Not many Bartlett pears remain
in storage. Kieffers are now promi-
nent in orchard sections of the East,
South and Upper Lakes region and
selling at prices ranging from so to
75c a bushel basket at country
shipping points. Table varieties sell
at $1.25 or more in producing sec
tions and from $1.25 to 50 in the
large markets. Demand is rather
light.
Prices of grapes show but little
change. Reports from the Finger
Lakes Section in New York indicate
that probably 1879 of the grapes are
harvested. Demand for juice pur-
poses has been fairly good but pric-
es have been somewhat disappoint-
ing in view of the short crop. Stan
dard juice varieties have been. SELL
ing at $50 to $35 ton in most parts
of the country. Table Concords sell
around 25c per IL quarts in the mid
die west and around 30c in the east
at country shipping points and from
35 to 45e in city markets. Shipments
of grapes from New York State
have been only about one-third those
of last season.
Potato Market Weak
Tone of the potato market has
continued weak through the digging
season owing more to limited de-
mand than to any extremely heavy
shipping movement. Local supplies |
by motor truck have reduced the |
trade in carlots. Prices in producing |
sections range from so to zoe per
100 pounds for sacked stock in wes-
tern New York and in Wisconsin.
Michigan and 1aho. Northern Maine
quotes about 45c. Growers have
been getting low prices such as 20
to 22c per bushel in bulk in wes-
tern and central New York, which
Is about half the price prevailing
year ago although the countrywide
corp as reported in October is only
average or little less. Nearness of
many of the best crops to the large
markets helps keep the price down.
Growers are dissatisfied with prices
,ut are selling freely enough to pro-
ride all that the present market will
AXE. Digging is general. Storing is
Ictive. Loading is moderate and de-
nand slow. Suitable commercial
forage space may be scarce in some
ections.
Sweet potatoes sell at nearly
teady prices at jobbing range of
0c to $L15 per bushel for Nancy
Ialls. Virginia Jersey type brings

Grain crops in many localities Of

recent rains favored straw growth.
Pastures are making . rapid come

hay will produce average yields.
Sugar beet stands in general are
reported good. Corn Is slightly below
normal. Potatoes are very promising.
