PRODUCE MARKET NOTES

Shipments of fruits and vegetables
continue in steady volume, about
1000 cars daily, but nearly 10 per
, cent lighter than a year ago. Apple
movement is gaining fast, also that
OF grapes. grapefruit, and prunes,
but melons, cantalOupes and peaches
are decreasing sharply. Western
lettuce shipments have been very
light. Miscellaneous vegetables are
moving in moderate quantity.
Trade is still rather slow in the
large city markets, but improvement
was expected with the end of hot
} weather and of the vacation season
Price changes were slightly down
ward the first half of September with
further declines for potatoes. sweet
potatoes, cabbage. and celery, APP
pie markets were unsettled. Prices
& of pears and peaches were showing
more firmness.
Onions and carrots were nearly
steady at previous Declines Let
tuee still sold at high prices but de-
mand became light The melon sea-
son appears to be drawing to a close.
Demand was light except during
spells of warmer weather. The can
talOupe movement was also decreas-
ing rapidly. The standard lines, in
cluding cabbage. onions. potatoes,
turnips and sweet potatoes, were in
slow demand.
Potato Prices Weaken
AS receipts of potatoes increased
there was a tendency for prices to
settle to slightly lower levels, but
changes were small and included
some gains. General market tone
shows hesitation because of cOntinu-
ed improvement of growing cOndi-
tiOns in the northern potato belt.
Chief uncertainty was the possi- |
bility of early frOsts upon potato
areas which were delayed by the
dry summer Some damage by late
blight occurred in few areas. !
Shipments from the Far West and |
from Maine have been increasing |
resulting in fairly liberal |
market supplies.
Maine CObblers bring mostly $3.50 /
to 50 per 100 pounds, a few Green /
sold around $l90. West |

Cabbage receipts show gains and
| prices have been declining. The
crop appears to be showing good re-
covery from the drOuth in several
leading producing sections. The
late crop in western New York may
be fairly normal and considerable
improvement is reported in the Mid
die West. A few lots of domestic
round cabbage have been sold in
the Rochester, New York, district at
$25 to $50 per ton. City markets
quote domestic cabbage soc to 81 per
90 pounds, and Danish SOC to $l.1O.
Bulk cabbage is selling in Wiscon-
sin producing sections at SIS to $40
for domestic and S24 for Danish.
Lettuce Market Easier
Prices of lettuce have receded
somewhat from the high level reach
ed early in the month. Shipments
were expected to be resumed from
California and the demand has slack
ened somewhat since the advance.
Tops in most eastern markets were
below Sc for western lettuce but
some sales of eastern stock as high
as 81 were still being made.
Celery is in slow demand in pro-
ducing sections and in city markets.
Prices of 2/3 crates is about steady
at the low level of 81 reached earlier
in the month in western New York.
City markets quote this stock fairly
steady at $3.50 to $1.75 and Michigan
celery around SOC per highball crate
in eastern markets.
Carrots seil at steady prices with
light demand. at 95c a bushel in
western New York producing sec
tiOns, and soc to S1.15 in eastern
markets. Tomatoes failed to recover
much of the previous moderately
low prices, ranging soc to 81 bushel
in the large markets.
Apples Fairly Steady
Eastern apples are reported reach I
ing good size but in need of cooler
weather to give bright color. Some |
eastern apple sections quote slightly /
lower prices compared with the Mid |
die West but still near the level of |
recent weeks. Leading varieties sell |
at 81 to $110 in the Rochester, New /
York, district and $1.15 to $1.35 in
Michigan. Demand is slow |
az most country shipping points. |
City markets report moderate sup
ply, light demand, and prices irreg- !
llar. Southern Mcintosh and Jona-
than bring 81 to $125 a bushel in /
The East, but sell up to $3.50 in some |
cities. Eastern Veal

ALIENS PLAE.LIKE STORIES
By Janette Stevenson Murray

BY Janette Stevenson Murray
Four-year-Old Allen and his mo-
ther were visiting at Grandfather's,
There was a big yard with a pipe
carrying water to the garden. Grand
ma had been gathering tomatoes. AL
len came out as she went into the
house. Soon his omther heard water
running, and on going TO the garden
found a faucet turned on full force.
"Did you turn the water on, Al
len?" she inquired.
mo, Grandma did It to wash the
things she picked up. She left it
running and didn't she make an
awful mess?"
Mother went into the house but
soon returned and approached Allen
in a wiser way. What did you want
water for when you turned the fau-
Get on?'
Grandma Eurned it on" Allen per-
sisted.

on"
How do you know?"
Il asked her. She said she didn't

"But water can't do that. You
probably gave the handle a little
turn"
"Yes, l turned 1t just little bit.
Then I went over there and the wa
ter came out with a big rush."
Upon further questioning, Allen
who is fond of fishing admitted that
he wanted river to fish in. Mother
explained that they couldn't afford
TO have water running away, and
then helped Allen to fill pail. When
supplied with, a cord and a bent
hairpin for fishing tackle, he was
calmly fishing in the paid, she said,
THAT was just play-like story you
told about Grandma turning on the
water. You remember l told you |
about play-like stories"
