The rapid advance of onion prices in | late August followed reports of serious damage in Eastern and Midwestern pro- | ducing sections, because of weather con- ditions and insects. Yellow stock was | selling in city markets around Septem- | ber 1 at a range of $2.30 to $3.50. Sup- plies were moderate in most markets, | but light in Baltimore and a few other | cities, and demand varied from poor mi fair. ‘The car lot peach movement is still | active, reaching 600 to 700 cars daily, | or nearly double the rate of correspond- | ing time a vear ago. Prices have shown | an upward tendency since mid-August. Supplies of pears appear light to mod- | erate in most Eastern markets, De mand continues fair and recent prices fairly well sustained. Mark=t supplies of apples continue generally liberal, with rapid increase in Eastern carlot movement around the first of September. Demand is reported only fair and prices not more than holding their own at a general range of 75 cents to $1.50 per bushel for leading midseason varieties, The improved | | prospects of the export trade seemed to brighten the outlook for the main crop market Sweet potato shipments now often exceed 100 carloads daily, more than {half of them from Virginia, but increas- ing from Maryland and other parts of the northeastern sweet potato belt. The general price range of $3.50 to $4 per in the large city markets follows recent declines of 25 to 75 cents in late August. Eastern bushel stock dropped 25 to 50 cents in New York. Other city markets quote $125 to $1.50. Supplies are still moderate in most cities, but reported liberal in Pittsburgh, attracted hy high early prices there. Fleld beans are expected to find a good market demand. because old crop holdings are nearly gone and the new crop promises lighter production, ex- | cept in the Rocky Mountain region and possibly in Michigan. which had a poor | crop last season. The bean market shows Its hesitation usually at this time of year. A great deal could happen during haryest time in a season of pre- valling heavy rainfall in Eastern pro- | ducing sections Cantaloupe supplies are reported moggrate In most markets, but light in Baltimore. Demand has been fair, but prices irregular, without much average change. General supply of watermelons has been decreasing and prices are bet- | ter sustained than at the height of the | season. Condition of the melon crop | is reported only fair and a moderate | | 1ate production seems likely. ;FEDERALV LAND BANK BONDS.| Snecial Dispatch to The Star NEW YORK.

Rain also deprived the fruit of much of its sweetness, according to growers and wholesalers, rendering much of the stock worthless. In numerous in- stances, it is stated, growers, unable to get rid of supplies even at 25 cents | a crate, found it necestary to return hipments fo the country and use it for feeding stock. Receipts of the fruit the past two days were much smaller than earlier in the week and there was a fairly good demand registered. Best canta- Joupes this morning sold as high as §2 a crate. It is believed the supply of the fruit will not hold out as late this season as usual. | Dealers this week received fairly large hipments of seckel pears from Mary- land and Virginia farmers. Only fair demands were reported. prices being low because of plentiful supplies and cheap prices of other fruits, and a number of dealers put their stock in storage to await an increased demand and better prices. | Liberal supplies of peaches continued throughout the week, the light demand the past two days making the market weaker.
