MARKET AT BELLEVILLE Sellers and buyers were on Sat- urday present in large numbers at the Belleville market and consider- able produce was disposed of. Ma- ple syrup was quite plentiful, sell- ing at 60c a quart and $2.25 a gal- lon. Butter sold at 85c for 2 pounds and 26c was the ruling price a dozen for eggs. Potatoes sold at $2 a bag. Carrots sold at 40c a peck; turnips 30c, parsnips 40¢, onions 60 and 80c¢, and cab bages the usual price of 5 and 10¢ a head, Leaf lettuce 10 and 15 a bunch and sage was 10c.

Celery sold at 15 and 20c¢ a head, head lettuce 15 and 20¢, MARKET AT PETERBORO Most of the vendors on the farm- ers' market at Peterboro are dis- pleased with the new regulations which require strict grading, candl- ing and marking of eggs. In sev- era] cases Saturday morning, they declared that sales of eggs in the basket section have dropped off since the regulations have heen en- forced, with an inspector making weekly rounds to watch their obh- servance. Prices Saturday morn- ing ranged from 40 to 25c¢ a dozen, the first for very large pure white eggs of the special type and the lat- ter price for pullets eggs. It is sald that the huyers resent the dif- ference in the price, They do not see why one basket of eggs with not much appreciable difference in size be marketed 35c a dozen while a companion basket is marked 28ec. The difference in weight, by which the eggs are graded, is not per- ceptible to the eye as one might think would be the case. Chickens were scarce and sold at 35c a pound. Hens were 32c. Butter was 40 and 42c a pound.

The change caused a delay in the initial tests which were to have been carried out the first week in April, but M. Couzinet now expects to take the air for his first flight at the end of this week. A visit to the military aviation centre at Orly, outside Paris, dis- closed the beautiful Couzinet plane in an ness. All that remains are the final touches to the new motors. The first tests will necessarily be of a limited nature and not more than 5,000 pounds weight will be carried aloft, This will gradually be increased un- til the full capacity, 18,000 pounds, has been reached. To prepare for the transatlantic crossing which is now tentatively scheduled for the last week in May, M. Couzinet will take off in an at- tempt to break the endurance record recently established by Eddie Stin- son and George Haldeman at Jack- sonville, Fla, With this as a prelim- inary, M. Couzinet believes that his "Rainbow" will have proved its ca- pacity for transocean flying. Rather than advancing his plans, the flight of the Bremen has served to make M. Couzinet moye cautious for he believes that at the present moment the odds are terrific against Europe to America attempts, but that the winds will be much less un- favorable in the latter part of May. A newspaper. man will form part of the crew of the "Rainbow" in its ocean attempt. M. Couzinet has not yet chosen his journalistic compan- ion, although there are many volun- teers. Couzinet's courage in his struggle to build and complete his plane in the face of -what appeared to be overwhelming obstacles has aroused the keenest enthusiasm and his plane is regarded as one of the three likeliest French contenders.
