WHOLESALE INDEX
SAGS TO NEW LOW
Fertilizer Association Finds
Average at 1873 Against
rs Week AQ0.

A new low point for the current re-
cession in wholesale commodity prices
was reached last week, according to
the price index compiled by the Ma
tional Fertilizer Association.
This index in the week ended March
rs dropped to 1873 per cent Of the
l926-28 average, the lowest point re-
corded since June, 1886 It was 76.0 in
the preceding week. 76.5 a month ago
and 88.6 a year ago.
Foodstuff prices were generally lower
during the week, with the food group
average at the lowest point recorded
in the last six weeks A fractional drop
was registered by the index Of farm
product prices, largely as q result Of
the continuation Of the decline in cot
ton. The grain price average was
slightly higher while the index of live
stock prices remained unchanged, with
a sharp upturn in poultry quotations
counter balancing slight declines in
cattle, hogs and sheep.
There was relatively large decline
in the textile price average, rejecting
lower quotations for cotton, wooden
goods, woolen yarns, burlap, jute, sisal
and silk: not since 1888 has the group
average been as low as it is currently.
The only other group index to de-
cline during the week was that repre-
senting miscellaneous commodities,
with the decline due primarily to Q
sharp break in rubber.

POTATO ACREAGE
EXPECTED TODROP
Larger Total of Other
Vegetables Forecast by
FEDERAL Bureau.

Planted acreages Of early vegetables
and prospective acreages of some in
termediate and late crops for market
indicate an increase Of per cent In
this years combined paintings Of 19
major truck crops, but a reduction of
about 3 per cent in the 1888 potato
acreage for the country as a whole,
according to the spring outlook issue
of the Vegetable Situation Report re-
leased today by the Bureau of Agri-
cultural Economics.
Compared with last season, the in
dicated increases in truck crop acre
age are particularly noticeable for
asparagus, beets, carrots, lettuce,
onions and tomatoes Growing con-
ditions in nearly all early producing
areas for truck crops are reported by
the bureau as rather favorable so far
this season. In view of the relatively
large carryover stocks Of canned vege-
tables and the lower prices this spring,
it is likely that less acreage will be
contracted by Gamers this season, it
was stated.
Price Aid Foreseen.
Allowing for abandonment and aver
age yields, the per cent smaller
acreage OF potatoes, the bureau said,
might produce crop of about 345,-
100000 bushels, or IL per cent less
than was produced last year. And
such a crop probably would result in
prices and incomes to growers some
what higher than those received for
the 1897 crop" The present prospect
Is passed upon near-average yields COM
pared with the above-average yields
obtained from potatoes in 1887.
For sweet potatoes prospective plant
ings indicate a per cent increase
compared with the acreage planted in
1887. The prospective increase this
year, however, Is due to the larger
paintings indicated for areas In which
sweet potatoes are grown largely for
local use or sale. Average yields on
the slightly larger acreage would re-
suit IN sweet potato crop of about
100000 bushels smaller than that of
1887. If such a crop Is harvested, the
bureau pointed out, and if the Irish
potato crop is reduced as much as the
prospective acreage reports indicate.
growers might expect somewhat high
er prices" than were received for last
years crop.
Decrease in Beans Due.
Included in the bureaus report Is
an analysis of the prospective acreage
OF dry edible beans, now indicated to
be about 5l2 per cent less than the
acreage planted last year. The acreage
increase indicated for pea beans is
expected to be more than offset by
decreases for other varieties. Even
though the 1888 crop of beans may be
considerably smaller than last year,
the total supply for 1889 may be
somewhat greater than usual, it was
stated, because of the unusually large
carryover in prospect.
Relative to peanuts, the bureau said
that if average yields are obtained the
1888 crop harvested for nuts NAV be
slightly smaller than last years crop
but above average, and prices to grow
ers in that event might average close
to those Of last season.
