STRAWBERRIES GOING OUT
 MONEY COMING IN.
Shipment Up to Wednesday Was
 Iwenty.Six Cars.

Strawberry shipments for the hrst three days of the week were as follows: Monday 0 cars, Tuesday , cars, Wednesday ; cars, making a total of 20 cars for the season up to Wednesday. Of the shipments this week, seven cars are credited to the Shippers Union and four to the Farmers Union.
 All the cars loaded this week have been sold on the track. Mondays stock sold at S1.75 per crate, the lowest of the season. which was said to be due to the fact that Tennessee berries were raln-soaked and OUT berries had to compete with them. The price Tuesday and ednesday was s1.9o, and everything yes terday was sold III advance at S2.O0.
 It Is now thought that with favorable weather car lot ship ments will continue through all of next week, and the probabili-
