Grain Sellers in Scutari Bazaar. The duty of Scutari is the principal market town of Albania. Since the war cut off Albania's communication to the east and south, all north Albania has had to look to Scutari for a market. Here is seen the grain market. On the right a row of grain sellers squat behind open sacks. Beyond them under the plane tree sit country folk with little piles of garden produce. Market days are the busy days for the American Red Cross dispensary in Scutari. The country folk, coming to town with their slender stocks of produce, bring also their sick for treatment, and patients have frequently arrived by ox carts from distances of twenty or thirty miles
