Contrary to the general Impression, the harm of recent heavy frosts throughout the west and southwest will be at a mini mum as far as the Omaha produce mar kets are concerned, although the consumer will notice a slight advance In price on early fruits. The strawberry crop In Arkansas, Texas and the south has not been Injured and the same condition prevails In regard to the berry crop In western Iowa and Nebraska, where the crop was not far enough ad vanced to be materially Injured. The froat has set back the southern crop, which will redound to the benefit of local merchants by delaying the pick and pre vent congestion In large shipments. One car of southern berries arrived Tuesday and another Wednesday, whereas If the growing crop had not been retarded slightly by frosts shipments would have been ao heavy as to caupe trouble In their rapid disposition. Slight damage to the berry crop la re ported In northern Missouri, but the only small fruit damaged In thla section of the country Is apricots, which probably will be a total loss. Raspberries, blackberries, cherries, apples and plums have not been seriously hurt by frost and the effect of "ht froet on Plum treM wlu hav" ben- eflclal effect by reducing the heavy growth and Increasing the sixe of the fruit. Some early peaches have been killed by frosts, but a good crop of later varieties la ex pected. Indications point to a bumper crop of Concord grapes, .which have not suffered in the least by adverse weather condi tions.
