limited supplies to come and holders
show rather confident attitude.
The March report Of intentions to
plant shows about three per cent
probable reduction IN acreage. Even
II yield per acre is normal in CON
slant to the light yield last year, the
production would still be somewhat
smaller than last season.
Sweet potatoes have not felt any
special stimulation from rising prices
OF white potatoes. General jObbing
range IN eastern markets is still
mostly Csc TO S125 per bushel.
Onions Fairly Steady
Prices Of onions have not shown
much change since the sharp declines
OF previous weeks. General jobbing
range Of eastern stock is soc to SOC
per so pounds in city markets. There
is little demand in producing sections
except for the best lots and many
carloads are being shipped on con-
signment. Quality is mostly Ordi-
nary and poorer stock Is hard to sell.
The market for cabbage continues
dull and weak. Very few sales are
reported in northern sections. Re-
naming holdings are showing poor
quality and are likely to be shipped
mostly by motor truck. New York
weakened a little at a range of SIG
to SIS per ton bulk and most sales
Of so pound sacks ranged near zoe.
Southern cabbage is fairly steady at
recent low prices. Texas growers
are getting only 81 per ton bulk and
many fields are being plOwed under
and planted 10 cotton.
Carrots find dull weak market with

IN several markets. Mcintosh and

Produce markets have been show
ing more price losses than gains
since the middle OF the month but
some further advances for potatoes
helped Offset the barely steady or
weaker trend for many other lines.
Increasing fresh supplies tend TO
weaken the general market position.
CarlOt shipments are fully 10 per
cent more than in mid-March last
year, owing especially to greater out
put OF potatoes and Texas green pro-
duce. Southwestern asparagus and
lettuce and Florida tomatoes and
strawberries are increasing in ear
lot supply.
Strong Potato Market
Further scattering advances in pO-
tato prices since the middle of March
have given the general potato mar
ket a strong appearance. Heaviest
gains have been in eastern carlOt
shipping points. Recent sales at
$3.50 per 100 pounds for sacked No.
Green Mountains In northern
Maine. $1.23 for western Michigan
round whites and $1.1O for idaho
Russets compare prices near 81 in
all these leading shipping sections
two months ago.
Meanwhile city markets have ad-
vaneed from Toe to zoe. Chicago
holds near $3.50 for Wisconsin stock
by the carlot. Eastern markets re-
port moderate supplies, fairly good
demand and steady to strong tone.
Green Mountains sell at S1.S5 TO 81
and other eastern stock $3.50 TO $1.75.
Long Island potatoes and some west
ern stock sell above 50.
Shipments are still moving at the
rate Of about 1000 cars per week
day, about One-fifth heavier than the
movement In March 1885, but much |
OF the output from Maine and some |
central States is seed stock which |
is moving actively after the delays |
caused by weather conditions. Flor /
ida potato shipments are much light
er than year ago and prices show /
trend in producing sections
where $3.50 per bushel is quoted for
best stock. Much OF the supply
shows poor keeping conditions re-
snlting from excessive rains. Yield
and quality of the crop seems to have
been greatly reduced in southern
Florida but the crop in the Hastings 1
district is reported doing we'll, also
crops a little farther north. although
the harvest will be one to three
weeks late. Reports from various

NTERsTELLAR FIGURES

Astronomers use baffling figures
when they calculate that light tray-
els 569, 100000 miles an hour. We
try to compare that with our As
miles an hour In an automobile. and
we still don't comprehend il.
A recent computation by the
washington Evening Star puts the
astronomers to shame. It showed
that on March 81. 1917. the federal
debt was $l.2S2.044. S46: on March 8.
1898, Il had risen to S20,937. 1856, 1854,
because Of the war-hangover; on
March IS, 1886, it was S3i .859. 600,
900. There just isn't anything we can
compare that with to make It intel
ligible.
