quote SLIPS to So per two-thirds
crates and sales in producing Sec
tions range $1.10 to $1.i5, with a
slow, weak market. Prices of Mich
igan celery also tended slightly low

Supplies Of lima beans have been
fairly liberal and show little sign of
recovery from recent low prices.
Quality as well as price varies wide
ly. Receipts are decreasing from
New Jersey. Pennsylvania and Con-
necticut. Prices range anywhere
from Csc to SLIPS a bushel. Good
lots mostly bring so to 75c in cas-
tern markets. String beans have
been in liberal supply from Mary
land. Virginia, Pennsylvania, New
jersey and Connecticut, and show
wide range of quality and condi-
tion. Bulk of sales range from so to
85c per bushel. Wax beans are most
ly of only fair quality and such
grades sell at rs to 75c bushel but
fancy lots bring 81 or more.
Apple Shipments Liberal
Carlot shipments of apples are
about one-third larger than those of
last season to date because of the
early activity in western producing
sections. Eastern apple movement
is increasing but total so far is only
about two-thirds that of year ago.
Carlot supplies of eastern apples at
present are mainly from New York,
Virginia and West Virginia. Most of
the supply is of early winter varie-
ties, including Jonathan, Greening
and Mcintosh. Prices show declin-
ing trend as shipments increase but
price level continues higher than
that of a year ago. Many eastern
and southern apples have been sold
in midwestern markets where prices
average higher than in eastern cit
ties. Chicago reports sales of Green
ing, Mcintosh and Jonathan at $125
to $1.50 a bushel. Michigan produc-
ing sections quote Rhode Island
at $1S0 compared with
SIPS in western New York. Prevail
ing range of good fruit is 81 to $1.50

and northwestern pro-
iucing sections range mostly from
81 to $1.35 a bushel. Market cOndi
ions are unsettled in Virginia and
West Virginia and few advance or
lers are being booked. The early
demand from the south has been
good and more shipments than US
Ial have gone to New England and
he middle west because of light
ocal production. On the other hand.
he export outlook is not very bright
md domestic buying has been af-
ected by the labor troubles in the
nill section. Cider apples started

pounds in the Martinsburg district.

lat very few carlots of grapes will
love from the Chautauqua-Erie or
lie Finger Lakes District of New
ork this season. The crop is rath-
r short in both sections and de-
and from the juice plants is quite
ctive. The movement from the
hautauqua-Erie District is just
arting. but movement from the
niger Lakes District will not be-
,me heavy before the last week of 4
