A $500,000 cold storage plant is to be 
built by produce merchants of Mobile, Ala. 
The Annapolis Valley Nova Scotia, will 
have the largest apple crop known, nearly. 
1,500,000 barrels. 
Potatoes at New York are again in large 
supply and the market very weak, with some 
sales running below 65 cents per bushel. 
About SO,000 acres in California were 
planted with lima beans this season. The 
total yield will he about 1.200.000 sacks. 
_On October 14. Savannah. Ga.. shipped 
05.756 bales of cotton in 1 1 vessels. This 
is the record for a single dav from 
port. 
The Arkansas Valley of Colorado this 
year produced 1,400 carloads of muskmelons, 
330 ears being shipped from the Rockv 
Ford district. 
Canada's apple exports thus far have been 
nearly double last year’s. In a single week 
recently 23,893 barrels were shipped to 
Great Britain. 
During September we exported 3,751 000 
bushels of corn; 4.937.000 wheat- 889 000 
bead of live stock, and 13,346,000 pound's of 
meats and dairy products. 
Potato shipments from Aroostook County, 
during September amounted to 2\- 
100._77 bushels. The entire crop of the 
county will be about 16,000,000 bushels. 
George Shima, a thrifty Japanese of 
San Joaquin County. Calif., is expected to 
soil $500,000 worth of potatoes this season. 
Ihore are 40.000 acres in potatoes in that 
section. 
Diking the past month large quantities 
ot low grade evaporated apples have been 
received at New York. Not being suitable 
for storage or current trade here, they have 
been largely exported to countries where 
they form the basis of cheap wines. 
According to the census report, the value 
V.,nli ianu Dirod goods in this country in 
1909 was $20,672,052,000. an increase of 40

Of course, these are not the ordinary

first seven days of this season we paid
