Strawberry
Auctions Open
Soon In State
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, April % Auctloneers
who work mostly by sign language
in sharp contrast to the loud-chahl-
ing sellers of tobacco, will begin sale
of North Cardinals strawberry crop
within very few days.
Some of the markets are likely 10
omen late this week, with the others
opening next. Harry T. Wescott, mar
keting specialist Of the State Depart
ment of Agriculture, said today.
There are markets at Chadbourn,
Tabor City, BurgaW, Wallace, Rose
Hill and Mount Olive. The Wallace
mart advertSes itself as the largest
in the world.
Commissioner of Agriculture Kerr
Scott has assigned IS inspectors, I'M
der supervision Of the markets oil
vision, to the auction sheds to certify
and inspect berries as TO grade.
Last years crop brought farmers
approximately Sl,316,000 as the bcr-
res averaged $3.50 per crate.
This years crop is. much shorter
as to acreage, but increased yield per
acre is expected to make up for much
of the reduction. Last years acre
age was approximately 1900, with
this years about 1000 acres less. Last
years yield was 100000 crates. Com
missioner Scott estimates that this
years crop will reach 100000 crates,
only fraction of one per cent off
from 1889.
Commissioner Scott stressed the
value of the inspection service be-
gun by the Department last year.
An important feature Of this sea-
son will be continuation of the pro-
gram to assist farmers in better pack
ing and handling methods, he said.
inspectors will devote d part Of
their time TO assisting growers in
modern marketing procedure in an
effort to bring them maximum prices

CooperSaidTo
Have Eyes On

Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, April 23.-Some seasoned
observers hereabout have begun to
explain the comparative mlldness OF
Tom Cooper's campaign on the theory
that he has senatorial aspirations and
is running against Josiah w. Bailey
harder than against his SIX aVereo
rivals in the current gubernhorlal
sweepstakes.
The Wilmington mayor hasn't said
so-in fact he would doubtless deny
it in no uncertain terms and probably
with at least average sincerity Tor a
politician.
Just the same, those who think he
has his eye on Washington wouldn't
believe his denials and would con-
tinue to cite what they. believe are
entirely logical reasons for their sus-
picions.
The argument is that Cooper is en-
tirely too competent d politician not
to realize that his best chance lOr the
Governors nomination would be to
raise merry cain from the back plat
form of his sound truck at every
cross road and in every city OF the
State.
Thus, it is commended, Cooper
wouldn't have taken without trace
of resentment the decision OF Dur
ham officials not to let him use his
truck in the Bull City. On the con-
trary, running for the governorship
alone Cooper would have eagerly
seized the chance to claim ne IS being
prosecuted. He might even have de-
fled the ordinance and got himself
locked up-all of which would have
been "smart" politics, as the folks
see it.
It is also pointed out that Cooper
has studiously refrained from attack
ing anybody by name. He has Shrek
ed about the Raleigh gang" and
lambasted those organized politi-
clans, but he has been all sweet
ness and honey to any specified in
dividual.

Chicago Grain
By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, Nov. 23.-Grain trad
ers who have been shifting accounts
ever since Wednesdays sharp price
break found no reason in overnight
developments to venture far on
either side of the wheat market to-
day and as result prices continued
to f1uctuate nervously around pre-
vious closing levels.
Quotations dipped about y cent
at times, but the market encoun-
tered good sustaining support. Some
mill buying was in evidence, but the
amount was small and failure of
flour and milling activity to expand
as a result of this weeks modest
price concessions accounted for some
of the unwillingness to take to the
buying side.
Corn prices sagged about y cent
despite heavy shipping sales, which
exceeded 200,000 bushels in the first
hour. Traders said uncertainty re-
garding the effect of the loan pro-
gram on market supplies accounted
for some of the selling.
Oats and rye were steady, but SOY
beans fluctuated over wide range,
advancing more than a cent and
then dropping almost 2 cents only to
rally again.
Lard was steady to easy.
At II am. wheat was UNCHANGED
to a lower compared with yester-
days finish, December 87s., May 81,
and corn was Ma dwon, December

Stock Leaders Hold
To Narrow Range
In Slow Trading
Only Around 250, 900
Shares Change Hands
In Short Session
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Press Financial Writer

.
NEW YORK, Nov. 23.-Quiet
strength seeped into parts of today's
stock market, but the list as whole
failed to develop real trend.
The proceedings were sluggish
from the start and transfers of
around 100000 shares for the two
hour session were the smallest in
more than a month.
Traders had plenty of good home
business news to go on, but the
majority apparently thought a fair
amount of hquidity was preferable
to an expansion of commitments
over the week end. At the close
numerous issues were exactly where
they finished yesterday and negligible
minus and plus marks were well
distributed.
Brokers reported a little more
selling for income tax purposes.
although this was believed to have
been too feeble to have been much
OF a market factor.
Wall Street was unable to work
up any excitement over war dis.
patches. Announcement that Ru-
mania had joined the axis alliance
was thought to have been discounted.
