Saturday, February; 14, 19201 ? Cabbage Kinging Higt Price " IX WILL be of interest to those growing cabbage for the early mar ket to know that prices, have opened " up considerably "higher than - in. the past few years. " Florida, cabbage is already on the market, and that from California, Louisiana and- Texas is also finding its way to "market. In early January the Wakefield variety , of cabbage from Florida began selling at Baltimore and Philadelphia at from $3.25 to $3.50 per - one-and-one-half bushel hampers. ,-. The market weak ened slightly about the middle of the month, but the .latter part, of-the month, went jup , again. . The New York market reached the; high notch of $375 at the end of the month. In Detroit and Memphis and some other places; Texas cabbage . was quot ed about the middle of January at $7 to $7.50 per crate of 100 pounds. California cabbage was' bringing about the middle of January aroundH $6 per crate. These prices are considerably high er than during the past years,- and should be encouraging to those who have cabbage to put on the market now or who will have them in the near future. Last t year, the Florida Wakefield cabbage sold during De cember and January at around $1.50 to $2 per hamper and this year they sold during January, as stated above, at $3.25 to $3.50 and even as high as $3.75. These high prices are due to several things among them being the very small crop that was put in storage in the North and- East-last fall. - This indicates that prices for-cabbage all during the winter and early spring this year will probably be good and should be encouraging to those who have cabbage now or who" are still setting the plants. - L.

You -have certainly been imposed upon, but I don't see how you have any remedv aerainst the buyer who bought' your cotton, unless you can prove thatiyou were induced to sell, it through, fraud of the buyer; that he. knew your cotton was worth more than 40 cents a pound, that he knowingly mfa'repre sented its value-to you forthe pur pose of deceiving you and inducing you to part with your cotton at a price less than its real value, and that you did rely upon his misrepresenta tions and that you had reasonable grounds to rely upon: them, for the reason that you did -not know any thing about grading-long staple cot ton or that f you were not familiar with the grades and prices.; !f you think that you can establish these elements of fraud ., as f stated above, I would advise-that you con- a reliable attorney with the view of instituting suit against the buyer Ul ine cotton for the- nitrons of set tmg aside the contract on the ground 01 iraud.
