Produce Market Furnished by Connecticut Department of Agriculture,
 B. P. StOrrs, local agent.)

The first potato crop estimate for the io30 late states based on July ist conditions released by the United States Department of Agri. culture predicts that the crop for the United States as whole Will be 70 million bushels less than last year. Most of this reduction in the first estimate is for eastern and middle western states, Rocky Noun. tain and Pacific coast StaetS are ex. pected to have about the same yields as last year. Maine and New York state are expected to harvest some- what larger potNto crops than last year, but this increase is more than offset by decreases estimated for Virginia, New Jersey and PennSyl- Vania. Minnesota and Nebraska are expected to suffer c loss below last years final total of almost 10 mil- lion bushels, about ii millions less in Minnesota and nearly s million decrease in Nebraska being predict cd. Tho total crop is expected to amount to 3ib,36o,000 bushels com. pared with last years final revised estimated total of 366, 06,000 bushels.
 The first apple crop prediction also indicates Q much smaller crop for the country as c whole and for New England in particular; the to- tai United States yield expected this year being placed at i03,2i4,00o bushels compared with last years final figure of i0e,406, ,000 bushels. Tho Connecticut apple crop this year Is expected to amount to 730,. GOO bushels compared with last years total of e06,000. Other New England states are expected to show c greater percentage reduction be- low the lD3b total than this state, The New York state apple crop this year ig estimated ct 0,000,000 bush- els, last years crop l0,87D, 900. These first estimates of the season point to c continuation of present high potato prices and probably higher apple prices than last fall.
 Tuesday morning ct the local farmers market native tomatoes were increased in supply and sold lower, mostly around e3.76 per bas- ket. Squash was lighter in supply and sold out early, mostly el.O0 Q bushel. Sweet corn and native cucumbers held steady and showed small price changes.

INDIA TO WIDEN
 RADIO SERVICES
Nine New Transmitting Stations to Be Con.
 struCted at Delhi

Delhi (UP) - Immediate con- struction of radio chain of nine new transmitting stations, located In various parts of India, is rec- ommeded in @ report to the gov. ernment made by II. l.. Kirke, di- rector of the British Broadcasting Company's research department.
 Construction of an elaborate radio system is In keeping with Viceroy Lord Linlithgow's announced policy to make the fullest possible use of radio. This medium will be used ex- tensively In 1ndla's new campaign of rural reconstruction.
 Kirbe has just completed an In. tensive study of broadcaSting prob- lens in this country.
 He recommended that the first consideration must be- distribution.
 To carry out this program he rec ported medium wave retranSmitting stations should be established in various parts of India. These Bta- tons should cater in language end program material for the province in which they are located.
 Kirke's report indicated India offers G large field to the maflu- facturer who can produce cheap, simple receiving sets. At present Japanese sets are about the only ones on the market. British firms have, according to the report scarcely touched this field.
 At present virtually oil broad- casts are made from Delhi, Calcut- to and Bombay, Empire short- wave programs are rebroadcaSt foi English listeners.
 Considerable research work Is tt be undertaken immediately to er' able maximum benefit from large sums of money the government plans to spend on radio broadcast | ing.
 Indian universities and thret scientific institutes already have started work on various radio anc broadcasting problems.

Refunding of distressed mortgages by the Home owners Loan Corpora ton ended ct midnight on June i2, in accordance with provisions of the Home Owners' Loan Act of 1883. No more loans are to be made by the corporation.
 Up to May 28, the corporation had closed l,0i0,142 loans throughout the country and its territories for Q total of sS,0Sl ,8o3, ,B60. Virtually every eligible application for relief received, an announcement said. was completed as @ loan. Original past-due mortgages of the borrow CTS were taken up by the corpora ton through exchange of It's bonds with the mortgage holders.
 12 Years to Pay
 To some 2o0,000 borrowers, the ar. rival of June 13 meant that they would be required to make monthly payments of principal and interest on their loans, instead of interest only. Their mortgages were made in the early months of the corpora. tion's work, before Congress repealed the part of the act which allowed borrowers an optional moratorium on principal payments until June

The effect of over- allowances for used cars on profits of automobile dealers is brought out in Q report published by the Bulletin of the Ma" tional Automobile Dealers Asso" ciation.
 Based on figures submitted by o3i representative dealers who handle all makes in all sections Of the country, the report states that, al. though these agents earned on ag- grcgate net profit of $S,008,866 from all retail departments in 1885, there was an aggregate net loss of $l,73l,- 874 for the year on their combined new and used car operations.
 The dealers paid out S4,278,27l more for secondhand cars than the vehicles brought on resale, the ar- ticle says, and in addition there were other substantial costs. Used car losses amounted to $76.14 per new car sold, while combined new and used car selling expenses ex- ceeded total gross margins, reSult- ing in an average final net loss Of $8.60 per new unit sold. This figure compares with Sl762 in 1883 and $17.e7 in 1884.
 Loss Reduced
 "The 10 per cent increase in units sold," the report states, "did not suf- fec to bring dealers to the break. even point on retail new and used car combined sales. True, 1t re- duced tho loss from $l7,62 per new car to $e.50 per new car, but this is apt to be misleading without con- sidering all factors. The 9l762 per new car was on l67 new units; tho $8,b9 was on 2i6 new cars. Hence

REALTY VALUES
 SWING UPWARD
Improvement Covers Ma. tiOnwide Area - Bond
 Recovery Encouraging

The latest issue of Banking Mag. azine contains report from Invest" ment Bankers Association of Amer. lea which will be of interest to all property holders. The following is the report:
 "Given on increase of from 10 per cent to IS per cent in general buSi- ness activity" 1t states, "the con" tinuance of easy money and no rla- terial changes in real estate taxes, 1t is reasonable to expect further improvement in real estate values, especially moderately priced subur. ban residential property. Income from properties should increase, due both to higher unit rentals ana greater occupancy. The greateSt rise in income should take place in lower and medium priced apart ments and homes. However, any substantial increase in real estate values will probably be checked by the large amount of distressed real estate still overhanging the mar" ket."
 Incomes Increase
 The improvement in income IS at.. tributed to increased occupancy and to slightly higher rentals. New York, Boston, Detroit, Chicago, St. Louis, Minneapolis and the Rocky Noun" tain district report gain in both. but the betterment in Spokane ana many other Pacific Northwest cities appears to be due not so much to normal causes as to the activities Of the various governmental agencies and to stimulation by the Qrano Coulee and Bonneville Dam proj- ects." Real estate income in Cali- fornia has shown definite improve. ment due to higher occupancy and moderately higher rentals.
 Prices of real estate securities re" fleet the better situation. Accord" Ing to an index of 200 eastern Issues the average price, which was $2lS per $l,000 bond ct the end Of l0SS, reached $408 in March 1886. New York issues advanced to $3eS, Phil- adelphia issues to $376, Boston to S672 and Pittsburgh to $2s7. Theater issues did best in this index, advailc. ing to S6io; office buildings at S4eV were next; and housekeeping apart- ments third at $306.
 Bonds Driving Upward
 An Index of 42 Chicago real estate bonds, picked at random from SC. lected issues, the committee reports, rose from Q low of $l04 in Febru" ary 1883 to $3e8 in March of thia year, while on index of 50 Pacific Coast bonds showed an average price of S638 on March last com pared with S367 ct the end of l034' This index rose 6.l per cent during the first two months of l030.
 Generally speaking" the report says, "there have been no important real estate offerings in the country during the past year, activity being largely confined to securities that are emerging from reorganization" !"

with sales in 1895 14O per cent of 1883 in units, the reporting dealers average net loss still holds at 67 per cent of 1893 in actual dollars total" '"
 The association takes the stand that the condition is beyond the control of the dealers and can be remedied by the manufacturers indi- vidually through correction of cer- tain policies that stress volume to the exclusion of new car profit for the dealer; Continuing, the report says that whereas volume for the manufacturer may cover only new vehicles, for the dealer 1t represents 0 much greater quantity of used cars which he cannot avoid hand- ling. Dealers investment in these automobiles is placed ct approxi- mately 2B0 per cent of the actual sum of the discount available to them in the sale of new cars.
 UnsOund Practices
 A further analysis of the condi- tions prevailing in the dealers busi- ness and of the causes affecting their profit-earning ability Is to be made by the Automobile Dealers Research Foundation, formed jointly by the American Finance Confer ence and the association. Recorn- mendations for correction of ui1- sound practices will be made after 6 careful study of eli the fleets.

The SyndicaliSt, Angel Pestaf1a, who broke away from the National Confederation of Labor to enter Parliament, has proclaimed his dis illusionment with parliamentary procedure in the chamber, and has threatened to return to the street II Parliament does not speed up.
 The wave of strikes which started within 0 week of the Popular Front government taking office still is surg ing over the country and occupies the government's whole attention, leaving no time for drafting of ur- gent social and economic legislation Coupled with the strike problem, IS the ever present question of nam. tenance of public order.
 Axana Under Criticism :.
 The first setback to the United LeftIsg was Manuel Azana's neat way Of getting rid of the responsibility for handling an extremely ticklish situation, by promoting himself to the presidency of the republic.
 Prom being the man of the mo" mert, Spain's strong man and the one politician considered capable of stealing the revolutlonarieS' thunder by liberal reform the dispassionate former civil servant had faded from the political scene. He now IS su.. prvising alterations at the national palace.
 The republican government, headed by Santiago Casares Quir- oga, is pushed on by the impatient extremiSts on one side and vigor" ously assailed from the other by the rightistS.
 The Popular Front Alliance is strained. The rightists say 1t IS broken. But republicans, center 90. cialists, revolutionary socialists ana communists are determined at all costs to maintain unity. For Q card. inal point of the Popular Front electoral program remains to be ful" filled-the punishment Of those re- Apcnsible for exceSSes in repressing tho 1884 revolt.
 Yeste Issue Sldetracked
 The rightists expected 8 split 10 occur over the debate on the Yeste shootings, but the revolutionary so.. ciaiigts and communists contented themselves with the declaration oi ti1n minister of interior that justice would be done.
 There is strife between the rival trade unions-the syndicalist Na. tional Confederation of Labor ana tho socialist General Workers Union Both sides fought 1t out with guns in Malaga, but the difference ne- tween the two unions Inanifests 1t. self in strikes in several parts or the country. It oil hinges on tactics Gyndicallsts do not believe In par iiamentary procedure. Terrorism IS thair strongest weapon.
 The General Workers Union strilEes when driven to 1t, and strikes peacefully. As 0 result, in numer. ous provincial centcrs, the National Confederation has refused to sup. port the General Union strikes and
