II the market for evaporated peaches
will hold up to the present prices until
next season, the evaporatOrs will be
encouraged to attempt to evaporate
again, should there be a fruit crop.
Good peeled yellow is quoted at % to
"A cents per pound, and unpeeled at
l24 to 49, cents. Those figures would
enable the packer to make profit with
peaches at 30 cents per basket.
