The Oak Leaf Art Club met at
Welcome Hall, Monday, March %,
with Mrs. E. Harris. AS this was
party day, finished work was on
display and a splendid Easter pro-
gram was rendered. After a brain
teasing game and a solo by Mrs.
G. Scroggins, Mrs. Hagen read a
paper on the true significance of
Easter entitled, Father forgive
them for they know not what they
do" This beautiful well read
paper carried its listeners from the
cross to the crown, and they felt
the power and the glory of that
wondrous first Easter in the long
ago. At the conclusion of the pro-
gram a short business session was
held and new member was re-
ceived into the club. The next

PRODUCE MARKET NOTES

Supplies from the Middle Western
sources are increasing. The New
Jersey onion crop has been slow in
maturing but is expected to show
good yield and quality. Connecticut
Valley onions. have been injured by
mildew during long spells Of wet
weather.
Sweet corn is in more liberal sup
ply and prices have been declining
rapidly. Homegrown carrots are
now taking care of the demand in
some markets and western stock sells
slowly with sharp declines at some
points and a general jobbing range
of 50 to SO per crate. Southern car
rots also are lower at 75c to $3.50
per bushel.
Lettuce receipts are moderate, de-
mand slow. and supplies of western
stock accommodating on tracks in CEN
tral markets. resulting in continued
price weakness and a jobbing range
of $3.50 to $3.25 in eastern markets.
Southern lettuce also weakened.

crate.
New York peas are quoted about
steady at 81 to SLIPS a bushel in a
few markets. New York celery is
about steady at 81 to s1.50 per half
crate. Tomatoes are in liberal sup
ply and sell at low prices, ranging
Csc to CSC per box for stock from
Maryland. Virginia. Delaware, and
various southern producing sections.
Annie Markets Unsettled
Prices of apples continued to de-
cline in eastern markets, reaching a
general jobbing range of SOC to 81
per bushel on most varieties. A few
red varieties brought $1.50 for best
lots.
Peach arrivals from the Southeast
continue light and total southern out
put is likely to be below early expec-
tations. Elbertas from Georgia,
North and South Carolina sell at
S1.70 to So per half-bushel in north
ern markets. showing scattered de-
clines since the middle of the month.
Prices are down about 15c at Georgia

higher than in southern producing
sections.

heavy and many carlots were sold
for freight charges or less during
the height of the shipping movement.

vanced to a range of $35 to SIS.
Northern markets are still heavily
supplied from previous shipments
