Produce Market Notes
lNuMnMrMuMuMu,k ElsR1sl

Most kinds OF fruits and vege
tables show rapid gain in car load
ings with the milder weather this
month. Combined shipments in
creased about Is percent toward tbs
middle of March as compared with
early in the month and exceeded the
rate of shipments a year ago by
about One-third. The recent gain
was shared by most OF the import
ant lines.
The increasing supplies of produce
were the result of previous higher
prices, the movement of shipments
delayed by weather and roads and
the progress of the early crop sea-
son, especially In the west and CEN
tral south. Southeastern states were
also shipping early produce liberal
ly, but longer range prospects are
effected by recent frost damage
causing severe injury to tender
vegetables and light damage TO
Florida potatoes and early southern
strawberries.
The immediate prospect OF larger
supplies of produce from shipments
on the way weakened the general
market position, but current price
declines were not severe except for
potatoes which declined 10 to 40
cents per 100 pounds in the east
where the previous rise had been
greatest. and 10 to 25 cents in the
west and middle west. Onion mar
kets weakened a little in some mar
kets but position continued fairly
good with shipments under cOntrO.
and Texas crop delayed by weather
conditions. Sweet potatoes, lettuce
and apples even made further price
gains. Eastern cities reported fair
ly good demand, especially for
southern truck. Most city markets
report firm prices for apples with
decreasing supplies of good fruit.
The apple markets make q good
showing in all parts of the country
near the middle of March. Prices
are well maintained everywhere and
best lots of popular varieties sell at
fairly high prices. Most eastern
markets are steady. New York re-
ports sales u little lower on some
kinds. but general jObbing range is
unchanged with some tops above 81 /
on few varieties. Underlying pO-
sitlOn is strong. Shipments are de-
creasing and cold storage reports for
March show holdings below average |
and well below the holdings of a |
year ago.
Potato Market Weak
Rapidly increasing shipments the (
first half of March brought weaker |
potato markets throughout the |
country. Declines were especially !

severe in eastern cities and produc'
ing sections. Chicago carlot prices
have dropped about rs cents per 1OC
pounds from the highest point Ol
February. reaching an average
around $1.65. Maine Green Noun
tains continued to decline reaching
eastern jobbing range of $2-$2.35.
New York and Pennsylvania stock
sold $1.65-$2.
Prices of sweet potatoes have been
holding fairly well near recent high
er levels and some small gains were
reported in middle-western markets.
Maryland and Delaware sweets
ranged $I-$1.4O per bushel in east
above $l.75 in the middie-west. North
Carolina Porto Ricans were steady
at $l-$l.l0 in Washington.
The squirt of activity that devel-
Oped in the carrot market has been
diminished to point where the
market is dull and trading slow but
without much change in price. I'm
washed stock is selling at $l.20 to
$l.25 per 100 pounds in the Riches
ter district and bushel pack washed
at 95 cents. Supplies remaining
available for shipments are light
Eastern markets quote New York
carrots rs cents TO $3.50 per 100
pounds.
Truck receipts OF hothOuse cucum-
hers from the middle west have been
selling mostly at 81 per dozen in
Boston and other eastern markets.
Receipts of native hOthOuse cucum-
bers are increasing and total supply
was rather more than sufficient for
the limited demand. Blue Hubbard
squash from Ohio is a feature in
several eastern markets, selling
mostly at $50 to $22 a ton In bulk
Onions of the Spanish type from
China have reached New York and
other markets. Liberal offerings of
western asparagus brought lower

from South Carolina are about ready
for market in quantity. Southern
have sold considerably
higher this month, reaching l6 cents,

favorable for most truck |

WHY is 1T!

BY w. w. McWhan
Oh, can you answer, stranger.
And tell the reason why
The worthless pass through danger
When the useful often die?
Why yonder drunkard reeling
Along the crowded street.
Devoid of hope or feeling
Deaths reaper cannot NEE?
Why is it, stranger, tell me,
Death loves a shining mark,
When he could just as well be
Extinguishing the spark
That burns within some creatures
Whose lives with evils TEEN,
Engraved upon whose features
The brand of Cain is seen?
Why does death seek the bowers
Where choicest blossoms grow,
And pluck from thence the howers
That do most beauty show?
Is is that his dread portals
More cheerful may appear?
That we poor. trembling mOrtals
In passing may not fear?
Why are young men taken
The aged left behind?
Some weary and forsaken,
Some wretched, halt and blind!
Why should our young men perish
Ere they have reached their
prime?
Why those whom most we cherish.
To whom we most incline?
Our hearts are filled with sorrow.
Our eyes o'erfOw with tears.
As we think that each tomorrow
viii blend into the years.
And yet the well-loved faces
That did our presence cheer.
Within their wanted places
viii never reappear!
All! Often have | pOndered,
And asked the questions DER.
Until in thought I've wandered
To the Galilean shore.
And then the lesson taught us.

that the corporation franchise tal
should be studied to ascertain whal
changes should be made to prevent
the loss of revenue caused by the
scaling down OF the taxable value
of shares in Delaware corporations
II is further recommended that II
bonds are issued they should be in
serial form and callable at q small
premium: that definite provision for
annual debt service on any bonds
issued should be made: that all
estate and inheritance taxes over
$l00.0O0 each per year should be
used to retire the bonds.
Estimate $9i,Oli Deficit
Professor Daugherty's report set
! out that the cash deficit in the gen.
eral fund June 30, 1884, will be $94,-
0iI and that on June 80. 1885 this
deficit will have amounted to $751;
3S3. For the year 1885 normal rev.
enues will be $l,336O0O compared
with expenditures of $2.75O.000 but
this deficit of $l,iI 1000. or over 80
per cent can be met by transferring
money from other funds. However.
the report states. this policy can
not be continued and the revenues
and expenditures of this fund must
be balanced in the near future.
To give the legislators informa-
tiOn to guide their plans TO meet the
deficit in the general fund and on
the transfer of moneys the report
sets out the condition of the sinking
fund. the highway fund and the
school fund as follows:
The Sinking Fund: The cash
balance in the sinking fund is esti-
mated at $l,37l.7l6 on June 80, 1884,
and $l.l72,09I on June 80, 1885.
than sufficient funds will be deposit
ed in the sinking fund In future
years to meet all outstanding high
way bonds at maturity. None of
the funds now in the sinking fund
are, therefore. required for this pur-
pose. Most of the money has come
from the inheritance and estate
taxes. Whether the Assembly is free
to withdraw any or all of these funds
is legal question.
Governors Recommendation
THE Highway Fund: The Gov
ernOr recommended in his message
to the Assembly that county high
way bond maturities, amounting to
about $2S5,O00 annually, be retired
from highway funds. The present
budget of the StHte Highway De-
partment shows that $l,144.966 can
he spent for new construction from
revenue. Adjusting the Highway
Department budget to include the
payment of these bonds, funds avail
able for new construction from rev.
enue would be reduced to $SSS.467
for year ending June 30. 1884 and
i59.Gl7 for year ending June 80.
1855.
THE School Fund: For the year
'nding June 30. 1885. we estimate
IN operating deficit OF $ll4,535 in
his fund. Expected revenues are
'3.49l,325 compared with current !
expenses of $4,000. $3.50. This does /
lot take into account $90O.0OO of an
lual depreciation which should be |

God bless the girl who works!
She is not too proud to earn her own
living, nor ashamed to be caught at
her daily task. She smiles at you
from behind the desk or counter or
printers case. There is a sweet
memory of her in everything she
touches. She is like the brave
mountaineer already far up the
precipice-climbing, struggling, re-
joicing. The very sight of her is an
inspiration. II is an honor 10 know
this girl and to be worthy of her
esteem.
Lift your hat to her, young man.
as she passes by. She is a queen in
the realm of womanhood. She's a
princess among the toilers. Her
hand may be stained by dishwash-
ing, sweeping, factory grease. or
printers ink. But it is an honest
hand. 1t stays misfortune from the
home: It supports the invalid loved
one, maybe; it is the moving, potent
shield that protects many a family
from the wolf that sniffs at the door.
All honor to the brave toiler! God
bless the girl who works.
