PRODUCE MARKET NOTES

The fruit and vegetable trade wa.
fairly good in the large markets the
first ten days, of February. reports
the Bureau of Agricultural Econo-
mics. Supplies of most kinds were
moderate and the demand was help
ed by colder weather in some dis
tricts and by orders for flood relief
supplies. Prices were irregular, but
mainly upward for potatoes, onions
cabbage, lettuce, green beans, cauli-
flower, and beets. Citrus fruits, cell
cry, and peppers were weak fea-
lures.
Carlot produce shipments decreas-
ed slightly as compared with the last
week Of January, but were about 10
per cent larger than the same time
year ago. Rate of carlot movement
of old potatoes and sweet potatoes Is
steady and about normal for the
time Of year. Onion shipments in
creased nearly one-third, with rising
prices. Volume of apple shipments
is holding up fairly well. Most lines
of southern produce show seasonal
gains, but movement from the
Southwest decreased sharply for
carrots and celery. and moderately
for lettuce and oranges. AS compar-
ed with year ago, the main diff
erence is the greater activity OF
southern citrus fruits and berries,
and the decreases In many south
western products.
Weather conditions have been un-
seasonabliy mild in the Southeast
and truck crops have made rapid
progress. The season is early but
yield of winter crops rather disap-
pointing because Of dry weather. In
sects. and diseases. Pacific South
western truck crops were delayed
and injured by long-continued low
temperatures.
Potatoes Fairly Steady
Eastern potatoes failed to share
recent moderate advances of the
eastern and midwestern markets.
Demand for Wisconsin and Michigan
stock was helped by some orders for
flood relief and by the smallness OF
remaining holdings in that region.
Eastern producing sections quoted
f. o. b. prices s1.95 to $2.25 per 100
pounds, midwestern 1920 to s2.25,
and Far Western $2.40 to $3.50. Nor
thern Maine growers were receiving
So per barrel in bulk and growers
were not disposed to sell below that
price. Demand for seed stock was
light and the markets slightly weak
er.
Potatoes are, selling slowly In
western New York at nearly steady
prices around $2.25 per 100 pounds.
Most growers are unwilling to sell
at less than s1.25 per bushel In bulk.
Eastern city markets are moder-
ately supplied but demand Is rather
slow and prices no more than hold
ing their own at $2.40 to $2.75 for
Maine Green Mountains. and around
s2.25 for New York and Pennsyiva-
mia stock. Midwestern jobbing mar
kets are fairly steady the second |
week of February at $2.35 to $3.50
holding most of the advance OF pre-
vious weeks. Southern potatoes sell
at fairly steady prices in producing
sections and hold near 81 per bushel
in northern markets.
Prices of sweet potatoes are near
ly unchanged In eastern markets at
TIC to SLIPS for Delaware and Mary

land stock and SIPS to $1.40 for bes
New Jersey sweets. Some of thes,
sold at $3.50 to So in the Middl,
West, where the markets have beer
stronger than in the East.
Onions Hold Gains
Onions prices in New York and
Michigan producing sections have
been holding at the recent advance
to a range of Zoe to soc per So
pounds, with moderate demand
and firm market tone. Some specu-
lative buying was reported in the
Middle West and the active shipping
movement from Michigan has reduc-
ed holdings considerably.
Supplies Of good onions in wes-
tern New York appear to be lighter
than indicated early in the season
because of heavy shrinkage. Some
of the best lots are held at soc in
the Rochester district and demand
has continued good, despite the in
creased carlot movement. Jobbing
range of eastern yellow stock in
eastern cities is about steady at 75c
to soc per 50-pound sack.
Cabbage Holdings Light
Stocks of cabbage on hand are
considerably lighter than a year ago
and eastern holdings are concen-
trated mainly in a few localities
west Of Rochester. Kraut factories
have been buying considerable bulk,
untrimmed cabbage lately. Shrink
age Is reported to be unusually
heavy because of the mild, open
winter.
Rainy weather in Texas retarded
southern shipments early in the
month, helping to maintain prices of
New York cabbage on a firm basis
OF SIG to SIS sacked per ton at
country shipping points. Growers
were getting mostly $40 to $12 bulk
per ton. Eastern markets range
steady at soc to 65c per 50-pounds
and $22 to 1923 per ton.
Southern cabbage sells from 90c
to SIPS per 1h-bushel hamper or
half-crate. Texas growers have been
getting very low prices and some
fields are being plowed under to
make way for cotton crop. Yields
have been rather poor and consider
able stock fails to make grade.
Carrots sell at steady prices Of
$28 to $50 per to min western New
York producing sections, but de-
mand has been less active from the
canning factories which have been
buyers most of the season.
Stocks on hand are thought to be
rather light but market position is
by possibility of heavy
shipments OF California topped car
rots, injured by the freeze.
Apple Market Improved
Although demand for apples has
been improving there is little change
in prices OF standard varieties in
sections of leading city
markets. Greening. Baldwin. York,
and Grimes sell from SIPS to $3.50
per bushel in eastern cities. and
tops of $1.75 to 81 or more are quot
ed for Delicious and Mcintosh. Stay
mans range $1.25 to $1.65.
Markets are firm in western New
York and in the Pacific Northwest.
Growers and shippers are asking
mostly s1.15 for Ben Davis, $3.50 to
IL 60 for Mcintosh. and $1.15 to
Il.25 for Greening. A few sales OF
Baldwin were reported at s1.35 TO
n AZ I'm the Rochester district.

tend that prohibition laws prevent
drinking. 1t is therefore the duty OF
American citizens to establish and
uphold those systems which will en-
able the states and communities to
control the liquor tratic In man
ner. best meeting the social and
economic requirements of the COM
munities directly concerned.
rThat this governmental principle
is sound and practical is without
question.
LET us compare two significant
periods: 1880, when underl the
Eighteenth Amendment the States
were prevented from controlling the
liquor traffic within their own bor-
ders beyond enforcing prohibition
laws; and 1886, when all but seven
of the states had established systems
to control the traffic.
.In September, 1880, the Federal
Bureau of Prohibition published an
estimate of the possible production
of Illegal liquors in the fiscal year
1880. According to these figures.
73,831,172 gallons of absoluate alco-
hoi were used In illegal alcoholic
beverages produced or smusgled into
the United States.
Per Capita Amount Same
''In 1886. with only seven states
prohibiting the traffic In distilled
spirits, taxpaid Withdrawals Of dis
titled spirits amounted to 76,330,524
proof gallons. All of this liquor met
government requirements as to quail
ity ana age, and paid both federal
and state taxes. The amount per
capita was 0.59-practically the
same amount as was estimated for
1890.
"If we guess that bootleeginC ac-
counts for as much as third OF
the LIQUOR consumed In 1886, we
must remember that reliable inves-
tigators and statisticians estimated
in 1880 that the amount being con-
sumed was at least double the
amount, estimated by the Federal
Prohibition Bureau"
"But regardless of whether boot
Logging increases OF decreases the
consumption of alcohol. we must
face the fact that the bootiegger. op-
Grating ON enormous. Illicit profits.
responsible for many crimes outside
the field of drinking, is far greater
menace to our well-being than is
generally realized. .
"A vital problem facing every |
straight-thinking American Is how
to put down the yet-present boot
logging menace, and so eliminate
the source OF much Of the crime
whose foundation was laid under the |
protection of national prohibition
ethics"
