Onion Shipments Light
The onion carlOt movement con-
tinued light and demand slow al
slightly lower average prices in
some markets. There is little change
in the situation in producing sec
tions. Rrices average slightly be-
low 81 per $50 pounds in Michigan
and slightly above that level in west
ern New York, but demand is light
in both sections. Jobbing prices on
yellow stock in Eastern markets are
from soc to $1.15. Yellow stock of
only fair quality sells lower, down
to rs cents.
! Cabbage markets weakened a lit
tie after mid-December under influ-
ence of declining prices in Texas
producing sections. Range on bulk
stock in New York and Wisconsin
was $12 to SIS per ton with slow
demand. Eastern markets quoted
$40 to S22 by the ton and soc to 60c
per so pound package. Supplies are
increasing at Texas shipping points
and prices dropped to $50 per ton
in bulk. Price trend of South Caro-
lima cabbage has been downward and
recent sales ranged soc to $1.50 per
hamper. Virginia Savoy cabbage
sold at 75c to soc in Pittsburgh.
Eastern celery markets are slow
and nearly steady in price. Ship
ments are rather heavy with current
movement about 100 cars day,
mostly from California. Demand was
rather light at western New York
shipping points. Much of the eel
cry IN storage i'm that section is Ordi-
nary in quality but remaining hold
ings are considerably greater than
they were year ago. At present |
rate of movement most New York |
celery will have been marketed by |
the beginning of the year.
Eastern carrots have been selling |
at steady prices. Shipments are !
heavy from the increased California
acreage and western carrots have
been in good demand, showing a
slightly upward price trend this
month. Spinach has been selling
lower with rapidly increasing ship
ments from Texas. Norfolk spinach
has been showing poorer quality and
selling at low prices, ranging SOC
to 75c a bushel in northern cities.
Apple Supplies Liberal
Arrivals of apples are fairly large

PRODUCE Market NoTES

The carlot fruit and vegetabl
movement was increasing slight,
after the middle of the month al
compared with preceding weeks o.
with a year ago. Gains were mostl!
in shipments of cabbage, tomatoes
celery, spinach, beets and caulifiower
Apples, grapefruit, oranges, swee
potatoes and potatoes moved in abou
the same or lighter volume as com
pared with the first week of Decem-
ber. Total shipments for. the sea
son to- date are about one-sixth light.
er than last season.
Price trend on most lines of pro
duce was about steady or downward
under continued dull, slow trade in
the large consuming markets. Whole
sale dealers complained of disap-
pointing market conditions. A sharp
price decline on southwestern let
tuce was feature resulting from in
creasing shipments including much
stock Of ordinary quality. Such
staples as potatoes, cabbage and
onions sold very slowly and prices
tended to a slightly lower jobbing
range.
Draggy Potato Market
The action of the potato market
has continued rather disappointing
this month, despite a few irregular
recoveries in price and market
movement. Gains have proved tenn
porary and main trend of prices has
been slightly downward. The De-
cember 18th crop report, showing
increases of two to three million
bushels instead of decreases expect
ed by many in the trade, was an
other depressing feature of the sit
uatiOn.
Shipments were holding in about
steady volume, averaging somewhat
below 5000 cars week the first half
of December Shipments have lag
ged behind those of last season, ow-
ing perhaps in part, to increased mo-
tor truck shipments. The upper
Great Lakes region has been ship
ping very lightly and much of the
stock shows more or less injury
from freezing and it is unsuitable for
long-keeping. Further losses of
storage stock are expected with the
progress OF the season. Growers
were still reluctant to sell good stock
at current prices. On the other
hand, inquiries for potatoes in car
lots have been rather light.
Some sales of No. i sacked stock
were as low as 81 per 100 pounds
in northern Maine and prices at
mid-western and western country
shipping points averaged slightly be-
low the dollar mark. City markets /
report moderate supplies and slow
to fairly active demand. Chicago I
prices ranged 81 to $1.2O per 100 |
pounds by the carlot and eastern ,
cities sagged slightly to a general /
jobbing range of $1.60 to S1.75 on
Maine potatoes, and $1.5O to $1.75
on other eastern stock.
Sweet potatoes also show a slight
ly sagging tendency in the whole
sale markets, but changes are small.
Most lines of eastern potatoes sell
from 75c to $1.1O per bushel in east
ern cities. Shipments this month i
have been moving at the rate of $50
cars per week and are somewhat /

REPORTS TO CLUB
BY w. ]. Jenkins

At the last meeting of the Town
send club, the club president, Kenneth
Grant, and Martin O'Brien gave very
interesting report of the Townsend
club convention held at Kennewick, to
which they were delegates. DR.. Erling
who gave one of his interesting and
powerful addresses here some few
weeks ago, was the principal speaker,
and both Mr.. Grant and Mr.. O'Brien
were very enthusiastic in their praise
About 1000 Townsend supporters and
club members were well repaid for
their attendance.
The membership of our local club
is still growing, seven members having
been enrolled at this last meeting. w.
j. jenkins read paper entitled "Du-
ties Essential to Townsend Plan Sue
cess" emphasizing a common charac-
teristic of human weakness to think
first of our rights and privileges than
of our obligations and responsibilities.
F.. NJ Hensley also read an interest
ing paper on Townsend work.
Plans are being made for local
Townsend club picnic to be held in the
near future.
The next meeting of the club will be
held at the White Bluffs Grange hall
Friday evening, July IL. A paper will
be read by one of the members ap
pointed by the president.

nittee which had investigated differ
ent buildings in the valley, and their
findings were reported to the meeting.
The most favorable locations, they
reported, are the Boie building in Han
ford and the Stephenson building north

tual location will be determined by the
official who investigates the project.
Under the constitution and bylaws
of the group, there will be approx

tive. At least seventy-five per cent Of
these must be individuals who are on
relief or who may be in need of relief

ton and there will be no voting by
proxy.

THREE INJURED IN
WRECK AT YAKIMA

Serious, though not critical injuries
were sustained by Loretta Grifiths,
Carl Allwardt and Weston Raessler on
the evening of the Fourth when the
car in which they were riding crashed
into coupe at the corner of First and
Race streets in Yakima.
The three young people were driving
west on First avenue when the car,
driven by a Negro, who was evidently
intending to make left turn, came
out onto the highway from Race street.
Allwardt was unable to stop his car
soon enough and the two cars crashed
together, turning Allwardt's over and
badly wrecking both. Raessler was cut
on the head and throat, the latter cut
narrowly missing the jugular vein, and
one ear was badly cut. Miss Grifhths
was badly stunned but was uninjured
except for bruises. Allwardt received
a severe cut on the arm and a head
injury.
All were unconscious for several
hours, and were treated for their
injuries at the hospital. The Negro,
whose name was not learned, was badly
stunned.

COT HARVEST rs
ON; PEACHES TO
BE PICKED SOON

With picking of Tilton apricots
scheduled to begin in small way the
last OF this week, offers of $35 per
ton are being made by canneries. This
quotation was also the ruling price on
Moorparks, although some offers Of
$50 were reported.
Picking of the earliest varieties Of
peaches has already started and other
varieties will be moving soon. The yell
low Transparent apple harvest is vir-
tually completed, most local growers
having received $50 per ton for the
first picking in Jugs. Reports from va
kina list the quotation on Transpar-
,erts at $40 per ton at present.
The potato market was slightly
stronger this week, the price having
advanced to $l2 a ton Tuesday, but It
is said that there is little demand at
this figure Digging of early potatoes
in this valley has not yet gotten well
underway, most of the spuds being too
small as yet. Some growers, however,
are shipping few, and lower valley
points are moving a number of cars.
The livestock market is continuing
strong, scarcity of fat hogs having
advanced the Yakima quotation on top
stuff to $9.75 hundred Seattle quo
tations on good to choice $50 to 210
pound hogs are $40 to $1025 hun
