MARKET TIPS
Little (faaiqe
By LEROY INMAN
Business News Dspf. Editor
Except for minor flucluations in
some items due to seasonal chang
es, there was nothing startling on
the market situation this week." The
egg market was reported strength
ening just a bit, the price on some
grades rising a cent, but with no
major change seen in the current
great amount of eggs available fur
sale. .
Likewise little change was seen
in meats. Pork and smoked meats
remained among the better buys.
Beef continues a bit high, but has
not shown much change at the re
tail level. Salmon is found on some
local super markets but the sup
ply is short and the price to retail
ers is high. Spring lambs, making
their appearance in increasing
amounts, will be featured by some
markets this week.
OLD POTATOES will soon be a
thing of the past in about 10
days. The Deschutes crop is al
ready through. Increased ship
ments from new California, dis
tricts are dropping the price of
new Shatter potatoes, coming in
from Edison, Bakersfield and Was
co. Shipments and qualitv are im
proving daily and the market is
reported weakening from that of a
week ago when prices reflected
sharply upward.
I PICKLES
CARROTS continue plentiful and
the market is firm. The demand
for turnips is off, although the qual
ity is good. Parsnips and rutabag
as are through for the season.
The market is off this week on
dry onions. Increased shipments
from southern California regions
have reduced the price to consum
ers considerably.
LETTUCE continues plentiful
and very reasonably priced from
several California shipping dis
tricts and the quality remains good.
Celery also remains good, but the
market is a bit higher this week.
CORN from the imperial and
Coachilla valleys is coming in in
increased amounts, and the quality
is reported much improved. Peas
are about through in Bakersfield,
and there will be no good ones un
til the Northern California crop
conies on. Beans, also, are scarco.
None are being produced on the
coast, and only a few are coming
through from Mexico.
ARTICHOKES are another
spring crop which is about through
for the season, utter an excellent
run. Broccoli remains scarce, and
what there is is too mature for
best quality. There is an abun
dance of cauliflower, however, but
because of a comparitively high
demand, the price stays high. It's
coming from Irvington and the Cal
ifornia Bay area. The cabbage
market is weakening, and the qual
ity remains good.
OREGON ASPARAGUS out of
Independence is tops on the coast
for quality. There is also a good
supply from Washington. It is rea
sonably priced.
PEPPERS out of Indio are pric
ed lower this week and the qual
ity is much improved. Egg plant,

good, although the size is smaller
than usual.
RADISHES AND GREEN ON
IONS from the Bay area are in
large supply and the quality is
good. Butter lettuce is through, but
romaine, endive and red lettuce
is still very reasonably priced. The
market is down on cucumbers with
heavy shipments from lower Cali
fornia and the consumer can see a
continual drop in price the next
six weeks. Winter avocados are
scarce. Some summer varieties
are showing up but the price will
remain higher at the retail level.
THE TOMATO market dropped
sharply. Hot weather in the Im
perial Valley has ripened tomatoes
rapidly and the supply will be
much greater and the price con
siderably lower than that of the
past three months.
Woman Escapes Husband's Fate
5IOAB, Utah (AP) A woman
feared drowned on the turbulent
Culorado River was rescued Tues
day by helicopter. Mrs. Frank A.
Hich, 61, of l.akewood Village,
Calif, was brought to a hospital
here. Her husband still was miss
ing. Mrs. Rich's son. Dr. Delbert F.

searchers had not found any sign
of his tattler.
Dr. Rich. 41. and his 35-year
iThey had last seen Dr. Rich's par
ents Sunday as they bobbed away
through the dangerous rapids of
Cataract Canyon, 40 miles from
Moab.
"Thank God she is all right,"
Dr. Rich said. "She is in very
good condition after being out in
the open two days and nights.
She has only a bruise on her right
knee."
He said his mother apparently
floated to shore after being swept
through a second set of rapids in
dangerous Cataract Canyon.
"She told me tho last she saw
PRODUCTION OF WATERMEL.
LONS is up but the demand down
with the current cooler wetther.
There are lots to be had and the
demand should pick up with bet
ter weather. The cantaloupes from
the Imperial Valley are greatly
improved. They are reported much
better than those of last year at
this time.
LOCAL RHUBARB clean lip this
week, held back by cold weather
but should be coming on again in
about a week. There is some on
the market from the Portland area.
STRAWBERRIES were in short
supply early this week, because of
intense rains in the shipping areas
of Santa Maria, Salinas, Watson
ville, Fresno and Florin. Shipments
are expected to pick up later this
week for weekend shoppers.
LOTS OF WINESAP apples and a
few Roman Beauties and New
towns remain, but Delicious ap
ples are through. Water peaches
are being produced in California,
but none are being brought in due
lo poor quality.
NAVEL ORANGES are through,
but Valencias are in heavy supply
from all parts of California, and
the quality is comparable to that
of the navels.
A few Coachilla Valley pink and
white grapefruit remain and the
last of the Arizona 8-pound-bag
bulk fruit is seen. After that only
the California variety, a much in
ferior fruit, will be on the market
for a time.
BANANAS are again plentiful,
but the price remains little chang
ed. Tropical fruits pineapples,
papayas and mangos are also
available from the Hawaiian islands.

own grandchildren on their toes
scholastically.
With a grin, ho said he gives
each of the children S2 for every

to give him a dollar.

Richard O. Cowan, a graduate
student at Stanford University in
California. He has a straight "A"
