REAL VEGETABLE SUPRLY 5 NCREASED HERE Receipts of Pumpkins, Tur- nips and Carrots Grow. Meats Plentiful. Increased receipts of pumpkins, a glutted condition of the apple market and quantities of bunched cornstalks, in demand for Halloween celebrations the past few days, gave the market a decided Fall appearance. Wholesale dealers in all commodi- ties have had attractive displays throughout the week, supplies having been far greater than demands, ac- cording to reports. In other words, suggested a dealer, business has been quiet and probably will continue so until after the election. One by one several choicest fruits are disappearing from the market, but other varleties will continue to come in quantities great enough to meet demands. Vegetables Fairly Plentiful. Vegetables have been fairly plentiful throughout the week, more especially greens, turnips, carrots, beets and rad- ishes. Spinach continued cheng, but kale became less plentiful and higher. There has been no scarcity of meats and poultry, dealers reported, although prices continued with but little change. Egg prices showed additional advances, ‘while the butter market continued firm. Retailers, anxious to ‘get first pick of commodities, more especially fruits and vegetables, were on hand early this morning. Prices of most commodities were reported about the same as prices quoted yesterday. Today’s Wholesale Market. Butter—One-pound prints, 481,a4915; tub, 4712a481;; store packed, 30a32.

Issuance of the President’s proclama- tion designating Thursday, November 20, Thanksgiving day, has called at- tention of merchants to the probable condition of the turkey market for next month’s holiday season. “Just what is to be e d,” re- marked a poultry dealer this morning, “is problematical.” It is stated that early reports from ‘Texas, where so many turkeys are Taised each year, and other States in the South, tell of a probable shortage of the king birds the approaching holi- day season. Floods and other weather conditions, it is stated, resulted in the loss of thousands of turkeys, sug- gesting a probable shortage for bggh the Thanksgiving and Christmas holi~ day seasons. Live turkeys the past two or more weeks have been quoted at 35 and 40 cents, dressed s selling at 40 and 45 cents. Many of the turkeys offered at this season are from storage plants, it is stated, and this supply probably soon will become exhausted. Dealers expect prices will advance the next few days, but are unable to fore- cast prices that will prevail at Thanks- giving. They are reasonably certain there will be something like a 60-cent varieties of ESTATES having been heavy and the quality bet- ter than usual, some of the largest of the melons bringing more than a dollar, while the smaller ones sold as low as 10 cents. Western shippers have been ad- vised to ship no more cantaloupes this | season, there being no demand for the quality of fruit received so late. There were very few Persian melons on sale this morning, dealers saying the demand for them decreased when the uality was not so good. The last of | the supplies of honeyballs was disposed of a week ago, and honeydews are grad- ually becoming scarce. It is thought there will be very few of the honeydews left the coming week. . Dealers are continuing to receive small shipments of peaches, mostly from New York, but the quality, it is stated, is not up to the standard and there is g;actlcnny no demand for them. It is lieved the last of the season’s supplies have been received. Apple Shipments Large. Large shipments of apples of all grades and varieties continue to pour into the local market. Because of the plentiful supplies of the fruit on the country line that is being sold at low figures, it is stated, portions of the re- ceipts of the best apples are being put in storage, to be sold later. Such immense quantities of the fruit are in orchards in nearby Maryland and Virginja and prices are so low that growers are converting their fruit into cider that is being offered on the coun- try line as low as 40 cents a gallon. Some growers are holding their cider, to be sold later as vinegar. Pears are reported in light receipt the past few days, meeting a light demand and dull market. New York bushel bas- kets seckels were offered the past few days at $2.50 and $2.75, New York Bart- letts selling at from $2.25 to $2.50. Box stock from the West brings higher prices. Moderate receipts of grapefruit and light receipts of oranges, Florida stock, were offered as to size and quality, the former at $4 and $5 and the latter at $4.50 and $5.50. Liberal supplies of grapes met a light demand and dull market, prices depending entirely upon quality. Bananas continue to come in plentiful supplies, the demand for them, accord- ing to dealers, decreasing the demands of other fruits. New York bushel bas- | kets of quinces were quoted this morn- ing at $1.50 and $2, some higher. Cran- berries from Massachusetts and dam- sons from New York were other fruits offered the trade today. Displays of pumpkins, some ordinary stock from nearby farms and other prize pumpkins from county fairs, at- tracted much attention in Center Mar- ket and along the country line this morning. Growers reported a scarcity | of the vegetable this season, result of weather conditions and insects attack- ing the ¥ines. Increased prices, however, probably will not prevent purchases by persons who want them for Halloween cele- brations. The smallest of the ordi- nary stock sold at 15 cents this mom- ing, the best of the prize pumpkins being held at $10. Dealers also had supplies of cornstalks for those who I CHEVY | market. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, i . SATURDAY, OCTOBER 27,1028 wanted them for use in connection with the holiday celebrations. Homegrown tomatoes, some of the splendid quality, are still in evidence, the best of them selling the past few days at $1.50 and $2 a basket, $3 and $4 a bushel. California growers are sending moderate supplies of tomatoes. | They are meeting a light demand and steady —market. Lugs, ripes and wrngped, were quoted at $2.50 and $2.75. On account of the frost and cooler weather, it is stated, green tomatoes are being gathered, some to be ripened indoors and others to be sold for pick- ling purposes. Consumers also are buying green stock to be ripened in | paper. Florida Products. Eastern Shore of Maryland growers have supplied some splendid quality lima beans to local dealers this week. Dealers also have received few beans from nearby growers. Prices continue high, however, selling at 75 and 90 cents a quart, pod stock selling as high as $6 and $8 a bushel. Florida growers have supplied local dealers small quantities of white and yellow squash and string beans this week, and heavier shipments are ex- pected the coming week. Tomatoes from Florida probably will not reach the local market until early in Jan- uary. Michigan and Pennsylvania farmers are supplying fairly large quantities of potatoes to the local trade, shipments meeting .a_light demand and steady Sacks of 150 pounds were quoted at $2 and $2.25. Nearby farm- ers also are supplying quantities of the vegetable, Moderate supplies of sweet potatoes were reported the past few days, meet- ing a light demand and dull market. Bushel baskets, best quality, Nancy Halls, were quoted at $1 and $1.25. Cucumbers, product of Long Island | growers; caulifiower, peppers, okra, rad- ishes and white onions, in demand for pickling, have been fairly plentiful this week. Dealers also have had plentiful supplies of greens. Kale has not been 80 plentiful and higher prices ruled, while spinach was more plentiful and cheaper. Carrots and beets also have been received in large quantities. Changed weather conditions this week affected receipts at Municipal | Fish Market. Cooler weather resulted in increased demands for oysters. se- lects selling at $2.50 and standards at Offices Hill Building Corner 17th and Eye Several desirable rooms at very reasonable rents.

Hurt List Put at 50. By the Associated Press. LONDON, October 27.—Some dis- patches reaching London today stated that the death toll in the railroad wreck near the Rumanian town of Recen was between 60 and 70 or about double the number officially announced in statements from Bucharest. Fifty persons were injured. One American described as Arnold Ehrlich, a merchant of Chicago, was listed among the dead. First reports also numbered Alexander Herschlet, general manager of the Wahl Eversharp Co. of New York, among the dead, but later he was found to have been only unconscious and he recovered today. Another American whose name was not reported but who was described as a representative of an unnamed Chicago newspaper was said by dispatches to have escaped injury. The wreck occurred yesterday morn- ing when the Simplon Express speeding toward Paris at 60 miles an hour failed to take a switch and crashed into the Hermannstadt-Bucharest Express. The isolated scene of the disaster delayed a full story. Confusion attended efforts to identify the victims. It appeared that most of the victims were soldiers who were bound for Bucharest. Our Friends EXPOSITION COMPANY 1001 15th Street New Detached Homes Among the known dead were the Rumanian military attache at Paris and 2n Italian engineer named Rocco, his wife and child. In the panic of the crash and the fire, the few railwaymen at Recea were | reported to have fled. The first call for | help was by a passenger who was a | !elefflnh operator. All responsible railroad officials were arrested except the switchman, who was believed to have committed suicide. EVANGELIST IS DEAD. Rev. R. A. Torrey Succumbs at Age of 73 Years.
