FRUT SHPNENTS " SHOMING DECLNE Autumn Decrease Noted Also in‘Movement of Vegetables to Market. ‘The usual late Autumn decrease in carlot shipments of fruits and vegetables is taking place at the rate of 2,000 to -3,000 cars weekly, says the United States Department of Agriculture, Bu- reau of Agricultural Economics, Market News Service. Total is ctill consider- ably below that of the corrcsponding time last selagfl. Tt;; !.of-gmw-ti,ve shortage includes pot , _apples, onions, and many other leading prod- ucts. Low prices and a long, mild har- vest season have caused some delay in shipments. ice changes in the wholesale mar- kets and pre uclrfi sections. during the second week of November were mod- erate. Previous slight advances on po- tatoes and apples in some districts were well maintained, but the potato and onion positions were rather. un- settled. There was a firm tone in Eastern cabbage markets and irregular flfflg steady conditions in most other es. Apple Trade Dull. Carlot movement of apples from pro- ducmT sections is decreasing and trade is dull at most country shipping paints. ‘The slight improvement noted in some Eastern apple markets maintsined th> second week of November. Many standard varieties are selling at 70 cents to $1.10 per bushel for the betier grades in producing regions of ths East and South, as well as in the North Central region. Baldwins are firm at 85 to 90 cents per bushel in Western N:" Yorkb lndss WM{&T ‘}‘Mcgi}fnn. Staymans bring 85 cents in the Shen- lnd’o‘nil Valley and other varieties, 70 to 90 cents. The slightly higher levels reached earlier in the month are well maintained but demand is light. Greenings sell as high as $1.25 to $1.35 in Western New York. Considerable fruit is being shipped to cider plants and trucking movement is still active from orchard to cold storage. Liberal shipments to foreign markets have imglroved the apple position. Al- Teady, shipments equal to the season’s increase of some 8 per cent in the com- mercial erop, have been shipped out of the country. The market crop was estimated about 12 per cent above the five-year average. The increase of over 600,000 barrels expected this season from the United States and Canada is in fruit from the barrel apple region and the increase in production also has been chiefly in apples from that part of the country. With standard varieties, such as the York, selling around $2 a barrel in the southeastern region and averaging near $4 in ‘markets, the foreign outlet is maintained. The main apple is :’,'h:1 Vll’tlg}:k-‘we:t Vlrxlrtlil‘; d on, W] at presen about one-third the total current apple shipments in carlots. is. re hofl bel ér.in New York at 65 to T . Baldwins brought 75 cents to $1 in several large markets.

Florida oranges to $3.75 in Baltimore and the lateness of the Cranberries year, be- iction in New berries are selling of only 4 cents to in many of the large markets, ranging $1 to $1.50 per 25- box. Potato Prices Hold. + Prices of potatoes have been holding ite well at a level 5c to 10c per 100 ds above the lowest of October. y this 1 U to the rapid rise in wheat and some other commodities. ‘The_market conditions in Western New York were regarded as a little more encouraging the second week in November. Dealers reported better in- qQuiry and sustained demand, so that small price advances could be put in effect. These gains amounted, to abont g‘per 100 pounds. Growers Wwere ; et~ g a little more, most of them 50c Per bushel in bulk. There is still much stock in farm storage and some of it will need to be moved soon. Pitts- has been active as a market for New York potatoes this season and showed some signs of oversupply, re- sulting in slight weakness in prices. ‘Washington also declined about 10c on this stock. Other markets were nearly steady. Maine Green Mountains fol- Jowed a jobbing range of 95c to $1.15 in the larger markets, advancing 5c to 10c in Baltimore and in several mid- western cities. New Jersey Cobblers sold above $1.50 in Atlanta. Pennsyl- vania Round Whites sold at 70c to 90c in most markets. Conditions show a little improvement in Northern Maine, altough shipments have been light. In fact, total potato shipments from all sections combined have been gradually decreasing, owing mainly to unwilling- | ness of holders to accept current low rices. Prefailing price paid to grow- | s in Northern Maine is 50c per bar- zel in bulk. l Sweet potatoes continue to sell at low prices without any sign of improve- ment. Maryland and Delaware stock brings 40 to 60 cents per bushel. Bar- rel pack from the Eastern Shore sells in Eastern markets at $1 to $1.50. Hold- ings are light and demand slow at ship- ing points, at a price range of 75 to cents per barrel. Celery Holdings Reduced. ‘The holdings of over half a million crates of celery in Western New York are being reduced rather slowly by mar- ket shipments. Sales out of storage | range $2.50 to $2.75 per two-thirds | crate in producing districts. ~Dealers Teport that there is much rather ordi- w nary stock in storage. California cel- ery is beginning to compete wrore ac- tively, but not much stock is being shipped from Michigan this s2ason. Florida celery will be active in January but most of the Northern crop is usual- ly out of the way by that time. Prices in most Eastern markets ranged from $2 to $2.75 per two-thirds crate the|D: second week of November, but reached tops above $3 in Washington and At- Janta. Market supplies are reported moderate in the large cities and de- mand slow. The onion markets continue irregular | ‘without much average change in the position. In general, the ad- vances made in October are being well muumt but demand is slow in rn and Midwestern producing sec- tions and in most of the large consum- ing markets.

GC:C‘-:_C‘-I‘I" nunnn BY F. H. RICHARDSON. Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, November 14 —Bonds di sharply lower today in moder- ately heavy trading. While the market had plenty of news which might be bullishly construed, in- cluding President Hoover's plan for a group of home loan banks and opti- mistic hopes on the coming conference of railroads and employes, other factors | outweighed these. Railroad bonds were again heavy. Seasoned investment issues liké York Central 6s, New York, Wesf chester & Boston first 4!%s, Baltimore & Ohio 4!3s, Delaware & Hudson 5 Chesapeake & Ohio general 41, nlldhnhl’uclflc i sylvania general s dropped a point or more. The juntorcarrier bonds, such as Erie 5s, Missouri-Pacific general 4s, Alleghany Corporation 5s and the Nickel Plate obligations were lower by 1 to 3 points. In the second hour there was a brief slackening in the decline, but it did not serve to cause more than partial cancellation of the earlier losses. At this time industrials like McKesson & Robbins 5128, Goodyear 5s, Texas Cor- poration 5s, Shell Union Oil 5s and Sin- clair Oil 7s showed net declines on the day of 1 to 3 points. Higher grade corporation issues were still in demand and United States Gov- ernments pointed slightly higher, In the foreign list German govern- ment 5's and 7s were off about 1 ts at one time. They later re- racted part of this loss. German cen- tral bank issues, German municipals and industrials also were lower. Other Europeans, such as Austrian 7s and Italy 7s had narrow declines. British issues were firm with the London mar- ket and French and Belgian securities were steady. Australian government obligations were 1 to 2 points higher. Japanese 5145 and 61,5 were both sharply higher. ‘The war situation in the Far East has quickened industry in Japan and served to offset the bearish view of the Man- churian situation. Tokio 512s, Yokohama 6s and Japanese corporation bonds were firm. Canadian exchange was steady, and with it, Canadian government and rail- way descriptions. NEW YORK, November 14.—Recur- rence of warm weather at this time has dashed the hopes of retail executives who are intent on building up early consumer holiday purchasing, reports in New York State. While the fact that shopping may bé done at this time in a leisurely, comfortable manner, has been emphasized by the stores, this incen- tive has been weakened by the high temperatures which have prevailed. Many coast buyers are expected in the New York wholesale market next week to begin purchasing Winter re- sort and early Spring apparel and accessories. Southern buyers will be here in larger numbers, reports to resi- dent buyers indicated. Predictions were made that the coast stores would do a substantial amount of early buying, al- though some decline in the purchasing activity of some of the Southern stores was anticipated. . An active call for holiday goods this week brought the sales volume of hard- the season. Retailers delayed their usual Christmas order much later than usual this year, but their commitments during the last few days have been items continue mov in considerable quantities, more on_initial purchases. Retail trade in men’s wear was set back severely during the week by the unusually warm weather prevailing and turnover was the most disappointing in several weeks, New York store ex- ecutives report.
