weak market tone. lower prices .nd moor clearance, were features of the Wednesday morning Meadow street wholesale native fruit and vegetable trading center. Abundant supplies were on sale of beans, cabbage. cantaloupes, corn, egg plant, peppers, potatoes and spin ach. resulting in lower prices for most of these than on the previous morning.
 Tomatoes were firm. good packs usually selling for 50 cents bas- ket. Cucumbers were much f1rmer, the native crop being practically all sold out and shipped in cu- cumbers at wholesaler held for as
 much as $3 per busheL Potatoes held steady ard unchanged. sum mer squash was not as pIentlIul and at most trucks was selling for 50 cents per bushel.
 The latest United States crop es- innate by the federal department of agriculture, based on conditions September l, predicted that the po- tato crop for the whole country will be about 10 million bushels greater than estimated month ago. The new figure is little more than 337 million bushels compared with last months prediction of slightly more than 327 million. The outlook is for somewhat larger potato yields in several important surplus producing states, but the Maine es- innate was increased to greater extent than any of the other "A states listed. A month ago Maine was expected to harvest about 44.5 million bushels, this month the pre- diction is that the Maine crop will total little more than 49.5 million. The apple crop prediction was in- creased by a very small amount over a month ago.
