Although the widespread flood

Although the widespread flood conditions were causing railroads much transportation difficulties, the effects upon local supplies of most lines of fresh perishable products were not serious enough to result in any serious hortasge or price advance. Supplies of few of the southern green vegetables were ar- irving slower and showing small price gains, but this was not true of more than two or three items in this class. Receipts of western dressed meats, butter, eggs and fruits were plentiful enough to enable wholesalers to continue sup- plying retailers ata unchanged prices.
 Spinach was firmer and high Fri ( /, selling 10 or IS cents a bushel more than early in the week. Po- tato prices averaged a little higher locally, although the general price level of Maine Green Mountains in carlots was practically unchanged since Monday. The bulk of U. s. No. 1 grade Maine potatoes were selling around $2.10 per 100-pound sack, equal to $l.26 per blshel. Egg prices remained practically un- changed from levels which were prevailing the fore part of the week..
 Shipment of certified seed pota- toes from Maine has not been as heavy thus far this season as last according to the weekly seed pota- to repoi. from Presque Isle, Maine, with figures based on the end of last week. At that time 1853 cars of certified seed stock had been shipped, at the same date last year the total wa 22,532 cars. The final total last year was 3,962 carloads from Maine. The report stated that demand and trading for certified seed tock during the past week was very good and prices practically advanced daily and closed the week in quite a strong position. Ship ment last week were mostly to Vir- ginia, Long Island, with New Jer- sey appearing in the picture to some extent. A few went to Ten nessee and Ohio.
