PRODUCE MARKETS
DROP MODERATELY
Major 'Centers Are Fairly
Active and Price Changes
Are Small.

Produce markets were following
about the usual course for the time
Of the year near the beginning of
the month according to the United
States Department Of Agriculture.
Trade was fairly good in the large
centers. Price trend, while mainly
downward, was rot showing many
sharp changes.
Eastern carlot shipments are mostly
potatoes. with a scattering movement
of onions, carrots, apples and miScel-
laneous early produce. Total apple
shipments decreased about one-fourth,
but potatoes gained 10 per cent the
last week. of April.
Asparagus in CARROTS decreased rap
idly as home supplies entered the
local markets. Other lines decreasing
we're orarges. spinach, celery and beets,
Larger carlot supplies of Strawber-
rieS, lettuce, beans, peas and peppers
were on the way. Receipts of Western
cantaloups and cherries and Southern
green corn are small but increasing.
Potatoes Fairly Steady.
Trade in potatoes continued quite
active and recent strong price posi-
ton is being maintained fairly well
without much further change. East
ern carlot shipping points report sales
of No. l sacked stock from s1.85 to
S210 per 100 pounds.
Chicago carlot market quoted prices
firm around S170. Supplies were re-
ported heavy in Boston, but moderate
at other Eastern points, and demand
slow to fairly good on old and new
stock.
Prices of Southern potatoes are de-
Ginning quite steadily with increasing
supplies and sales of Florida, LouiSi-
ana, and Alabama potatoes range
So to $3.50 in Northern markets.
Barrel pack sells mostly at 81 to $3.50.
Louisiana shippers are getting about
the same price per 100 pounds as
quoted for old-crop potatoes in North
ern Maine and Western New York.
Old Onions Nearly Gone.
Supplies of old onions are apparently
cleaning up in Northern producing
sections, although Michigan still some
times ships 20 cars a day and New
York ships few cars daily. Cool
weather has prolonged the old crop
market season considerably and some
of the best stock has been selling as
high as 81 per SO pounds in New
York, which is close to the price of
Texas yellow onions Most sales of
old onions are between so cents and
rs cents in Eastern markets.
Prices of sweet potatoes maintained
recent gains. Sales of Virginia,
Maryland and Delaware sweets ranged
SIPS to $l.40 a bushel. Some stock
of the Jersey type reached SITS in
a few markets.
The asparagus season is moving
Northward. with important supplies
from Maryland and New Jersey. This
stock sells at SITS to $3.50 per dozen
in Central markets. Considerable
Far Western asparagus is still on the
market, but prices have been rapidly
declining in competition with fresh
homegrown supplies The carrot mar
ket remains nearly unchanged.

There was some buying of neW-crop

Stock Averages
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer

NEW YORK, May 1.-The stock
market lacked support today and
lower drift was in evidence after an
irregular start.
Losses at one time ranged from
to points or so, with American Tele-
phone leading the downward slide
In the final half hour prices stiffened
and the close was only moderately
heavy. Dizziness ruled throughout,
with transfers approximating 100000
shares for the short session.
1t was one Of the smallest trading
volumes since November, 1884. The
ticker tape was frequently motionless.
Several of the mining issues, includ-
ing Dome, United States Smelling,
Mcintyre and Alaska Juneau. were in
demand and scattered specialties held
their own.
The major telephone stock was
down more than 2 points at one time
to around its low of the year. II
came back, along with the others. in
the final lap and virtually Cancelled its
decline.
Among backward shares were United
States Steel, Bethlehem, Chrysler,
General Motors, Consolidated Edison,
Westinghouse, Allied Chemical, Case,
Anaconda. Standard Oil of New Jer-
sey, Douglas Aircraft, New York Cen
trail, Santa Fe and Pennsylvania.
Despite the arrangement of further
gold shipments from Paris, the
French franc was fairly steady in
terms of the dollar. Bonds were ir-
regular, with United States Govern
ments easier. Wheat futures were
bit heavy.
Traders. generally, were disinclinec
to get too far out on a limb in view
of the cloudy European situation. the
French run-off elections tomorrow and
the likelihood that the Supreme Court,
on Monday may hand down the long
awaited Guffey coal act decision be-
fore taking its Summer recess.
The boardrooms were rather bare Of
brokers as well as customers, as many
began their week end holiday early.
The exodus from the financial district
to Churchill Downs for the Derby
was said to have been the largest since
the gala days OF 1929.
