The large papply; of vegetables to Out cause of the drop in prices.' The crops are exceedingly god and the markets are being swamped with the products. Tbey must be sold, and for that reason the law prices are quoted. . V:/:*>Hge"" or!?Tu|ioi$; Drops, . ; "Tie price of potatoes has taken:M big drop, due to the unprecedented crop. Tubers that sold for 15.25 a barrel last year en the South Water street market, in Chicago, are now being sold for $2.75 par barel. New potatoes are' «o cheap and plentiful that old potatoes cannot be sold. In some cities old potatoes were offered for sale at 18 cents a bushel in order to get rid of them. The fruit crop is as promising from the consumers' point of view as vege- tables and cereals. Peaches are pour- ing into Chicago from southern states and housewives looking for bargains can get them now without waiting for the Michigan crop, which will be late. The peach crop is the largest in the history of the country and the grape crop is far in excess of that of last ytar, which was considered unusually good. Onions Are Cheap. Fine Texas onions have reached their lowest price in years. Cabbages ore also lower than they have been for many seasons. Conditions were never so favorable for low prices, ac- cording to wholesale dealers. Despite the drop that has been taken by the prices, prominent dealers on South Water street, Chicago, where the majority of the local merchants buy their vegetables, assert that with- in a week they will go still lower, especially the price of potatoes. <The drop in prices is not aston- ishing," said an Evatisidn groeer when seen by a News reporter. "The same thing happens every yea^ at this time. The prices may be a little lower this year than before, but it it not very noticeable." "The prices would always be as low as they are now If the housewives would buy the vegetables that grow near home instead of wanting those that come from Virginia, Florida and California," was the way one grocer commented on the low prices. - Washington, July 18. past few weeks the watch dogs of the eott||ry -.. •have developed such,; J$i marked fondness for chewing mail carriers that the postofflce department was moved today to call attention to the regulations which provides a oar- . rier is not required to humor the dogs ' under the circumstances.
