PRODUCE MARKETS - DULL BUT STEADY Prices Fairly Well Maintained on Most Products—Ship- ments Not Heavy. The produce markets were dull, but fairly steady the first week of Septem- ber, says the United States Department of Agriculture, Bureau of Agricultural Economics, Market News Service. While prices were being maintained in a gen- eral way on most products, the ma- jority of changes were in the down- ward direction. Carlot shipments are not especially heavy for the time of year and recent weekly volume has been lighter week by week than for the same period last season. Local sup- plies and motor truck arrivals compete sharply in many markets. Potato and onion prices weakened a little. Swees potatoes sold slowly. Lettuce is selling considerably below recent high prices. Apples _continue to meet slow demand because of low price peaches and mel- ons and other fruit. Apple shipments are not so heavy as last season as yet, although the crop is larger. Peaches are still in liberal supply, but daily ship- ments have dropped to about 500 cars. Supplies of grapes and pears are mod- erate owing to light demand and low prices which have not encouraged active shipments. Potato Markets Weak. Prices of potatoes, while holding fair- 1y well near the lower levels of the week before, still showed a rather weak tone in early September, most of the price changes being downward. Firmness in the important Chicago potato market was encouraging to shippers. Receipts are moderate in nearly all markets. Daily total shipments are about one- fourth lighter than a vear ago. The trouble seems to lie in the slow demand Teported in nearly all markets. ‘Haulings were light, demand slow and prices fairly steady at most shipping points in the East and Middle West. Ruling prices on sacked stock were 85 to 95 cents per 100 pounds and there was little difference in the price range in producing sections from Long 1sland West to Wisconsin. Slightly_lower job- bing prices prevailed in New York, Pitts- burgh and a few other large centers. The general range was 95 cents to $1.15 on New Jersey cobblers. Long Island stock ranged mostly $1 to $1.40, but reached a top of $1.50 in Washington and Cleveland. Maine cobblers weak- ened slightly in Boston at $1 to $1.15. Sales of Maine Green Mountains for Oc- tober delivery declined about 1 cent in Chicago, ruling $1.12 per 100 pounds. Sweet potatoes are slow of sale in the large markets, although supplies are moderate. Shipments are increasing slowly and usually exceed 100 carloads 8 day from all sources. The indicated crop is about average in quantity this year. Prices have tended downward for some time and dropped sharply in some markets the first week of September. North Carolina sweets of the Jersey type are bringing $1.75 to $2.50 per barrel in Eastern markets. ~Virginia stock is quoted $2 to $3 in Eastern mar- kets. Tennessee Nancy Halls dropped 10 cents in some markets and sold at 90 cents to $1.15 per bushel. Onions Fairly Steady. Not much further change occurred in the onion markets the first week of September. Most sales in _producing sections of the Connecticut Valley and in Western New York were from 90 cents to $1 per 50-pound sack. but de- | mand was not active. The large East- ern markets all reported moderate sup- plies and slow demand, with price changes, if any, slightly downward. Massachusetts veilow stock sold at 90 cents to $1.10 per 50 pounds. The range on New York vellow onions was $1 to $1.15. Some lots from New Jersey brought $1.25 in New York. Mid- Western onion markets were generally unchanged. The sharp drop in the lettuce ma Xet, compared with the high prices of few weeks ago, continued into Septem- ber and jobbing prices were cut sharply in the large Eas‘ern markets. Western Jettuce dropped to a general range averaging close ‘0 $4 per crate and New York lettuce of ¢ -~ B.z Boston type de- clined to the jobb. g range of 75 cents to $1.25 per crate of two-dozen heads. Shipments have been increasing and demand is slow in nearly all markets. Celery supplies are moderate in most markets and light in Philadelphia. Trading is slow to fairly good. Prices are irregular, but New York quoted 50 cents per crate lower the first week of September. The range of recent job- bing sales in Eastern markets was $2.50 to $3.5¢. Shippers.in the Rochester district are selling at $2.50, with a steady market Peach Shipments Decreasing. Carlot receipts of peaches show quite a decrease early in_September, with daily runs of about 500 cars or iess, compared with 1,000 during the recent rush of shipments of the Southern and Midwestern crop. The market move- ment from Colorado is active. Mod- erate shipments are coming from the Midwest and the Atlantic Coast sec- | tions, but the standard Northern late | varieties are not yet moving in quan- tity. Supplies continue heavy at many markets because of arrivals from pre- ceding heavy shipments and from local | orchards. Prices are still low, but are advancing slightly in some markets. The price range is very wide, anywhere from 25 cents a bushel to $1 or more. Mary- land and Delaware Elbertas sold at 65 o 90 cents per bushel in various mar- kets early in September. Pennsylvania and New Jersey Elbertas brought 75 cents to $1 Much of the stock re- ! ceived is of excellent quality and appearance. Prices have been too low most of the season to warrant ship- ment of inferior grades. Prices of apples continue at low levels. New York Oldenburgs sell at 40 to 45 cents a bushel in several Eastern mar- kets and Wealthys at 50 to 60 cents. Sales of Wealthys in Michigan pro- ducing sections rule 80 cents per bushel. Apple receipts are moderate in most of the Eastern cities and reported light in | Boston, but slow demand is the rule in | nearly all markets. Steady Cantaloupe Market. The moderate carlot supply of canta- loupes in late August led to a steady range of prices in most markets, although demand was still reported slow. The bulk of receipts are coming from Wes‘ern sources, but numerous scal supplies are offered in_Eastern Maryland and Delaware pes sell at 50 to 75 cents per flat crate in New York, and New Jersey cantaloupes bring 40 to 50 cents in Philadelphia The watermelon season is tapering down to more moderate supplies, but new receipts are reported still liberal a: many of the markets.

BUCHAREST, September 5 —Queen | Marie, about whom all important sociel | and political activities revolved for more | than a decade prior to the death of her | husband, Ferdinand I, in 1927, has con- fided to an intimate friend that the marriage and departure of her daugh- ter, Princess Ileana, has already cre- ated a lonesomeness that is weighing | heavily upon her.

By the Assoclated Press BOISE, Idaho, September 5.—A feminine Bluebeard who left headstones over several husbands in Western States as she journeyed about marrying new ones is still at large. For the last tip to police, which had Lydia Southard “spotted” in Colorado, :pxzeu: to have gone the way of the est. Thus the wit of a woman who “had a way with men” and whose husbands had a way of dying soon after they mar- ried her has had Western sleuthing out- guessed for nearly five months. Mrs. Southard has been “reported” in many places since that night of May 4 last when she astonished Idaho peace officers by climbing over the prison wall and escaping from the State peniten- Capture Fall ‘The confidently uttered “We expect to have her within 24 hours” that came out of Colorado recently predicted an end to the long hunt to recapture the woman convicted of poisoning her fourth husband for his insurance. But a raid on a house where she was supposed to have been living with a former convict accused of helping her escape disclosed empty premises. This victim of her latest conquest, Warden R. E. Thomas says, was David Minton, automobile mechanic and trap drummer, who was paroled nearly a month before her break. It was he, declares the warden, who helped her obtain a length of hose and a metal flower trellls, on which she climbed to the top of the wall after sawing the cell bars with a saw Minton had provided. Warden Thomas suspects that the | fugitive and her supposed companion | have a hideout in Colorado. | This man once lived there and has relatives near Superior, Colo. ‘Waited In Car. It is the warden's theory that the convict purchased an automobile short- | ly before the break and was waliting in it outside the walls. He believes that Mrs. Southard's ac- complice drove her directly to a pre- arranged retreat, where he provided her with clothes to replace her prison garb. Mrs. Southard was originally arrested in Honolulu, where she was residing as the wife of a petty officer on the U. 8. §. Monterey. Although tried only on the charge of poisoning her fourth husband, the pros- ecuting officials accused her of slaying in a similar fashion her first husband, | Jules Maniu; the necessary funds were | Robert C. Dooley; his brother, Ed C, | Dooley: her second husband, William G. McHaffie; her third husband, Harland | C. . Lewis; her fourth husband, Edward F. Meyer, and charge that her infant child died under suspicious circum- stances. The first husband was the father of the child. The former and his brother carried a joint life insurance policy for $2,000 in her favor. Collects Less Than $10,000. As a result of her operations. the State alleged at the trial. she collected less than $10,000 in insurance, although she probably caused the death of six persons. | Sentenced to 10 years to life, Mrs. Southard had served slightly less than the minimum sentence when she made | her break. At the time of her admission to prison | she was the picture of feminine dainti- ness. Although short of stature, she was slender, with brown hair and blue eyes. Prison life added two score pounds to her figure. e Ttaly Cites U. S. Professor. ROME.

By the Assoctated Press. CHICAGO, September 5.—Walter E Wolf, a $75-a-week bank employe, who confessed embezzling approximatel $2,000,000 from his employers, repre- sented himself as the head of a large stock and grain trading syndicate, Da- vid D. Weiss, who handled Wolf’s mar- gin21 accounts, sald yesterday. Welss, a tailor shop owner, who has a membership on the Chicago Board of Trade, said he acted as Wolf's broker for three years and altogether handled about $1.000,000 worth of the securities which Wolf confessed taking from the Continental Bank & Trust Co. for use as_collateral. Wolf was reported today to have had about $3,000,000 of the bank's securities posted as collateral at the time his de- falcations were discovered. About $800.- 000 has been salvaged by the bank from the market accounts, it was said. Of the remainder, Lloyds of London will pay $2,000.000 in insurance, it was reported, and the bank must make up about_$200,000. A. E. Bauermeister, 8 bovhood friend of Wolf, told bank officials that Wolf had financed stock market speculations for him with $20.000 in Treasury certif- cates. He said he had lost about $5.000. but would liquidate his account, borrow from friends and return the en- tire $20,000 to the bank. HOOVER NAMES BANKER TO FARM LOAN BOARD James B. Madison.

Miss Mary C. Hanlon, church secre- tary, yesterday ascribed as the reason |for this the culmination of innumer- able Summer romances. She said, too, | the fact that September was the house- hunting and lease-renewal month had | something to do with fit. | The banner day of the whole year, she said, is the Saturday before Labor day. On that day last year 47 couples were united before the church’s two altars. And judging from the number of appointments made for today it probably will be the peak day this year, | too. | | “The depression is having an effect on marriage,” sald Miss Hanlon. “But |really, with furniture and apartment | prices what they are, it seems to me | |it's an ideal time for any young couple | to start out. I always tell them they're lucky to be getting married this year.” The peak year, so far, was reached in 1029, when there were 2,353 ceremonies performed. Last year the number drop- | ped to 2,346, and the eight months of the current year have averaged about ine couples fewer than in 1930. | Miss Hanlon emphasized that ap- pointments are required for almost all |wedd1ngs and if the couples are con- sidered extremely young their parents |are notified. By tradition the Church of the | Transfiguration, which is its real name, | h#s beenlknown as “a place where | prejudices are forgotten " | Many couples come from remote sec- |tions of the country to be married there. often because one or the other's | parents began life together at the little | church. ni (Another American Stores Co.

With the Governor's approval, 1,800 wells were granted permission to open at 7 am. in the first proration order of the State Railroad Commission under the recently adopted State con- servation bill. Martial Law to Continue. ‘The order provided for a flat well production of 225 barrels daily. Brig. Gen. Jacch F.
