Houston Grape Market

HOUSTON-It is worth a trip to
Produce Row on the part of the unin-
itiated just at this season of the year
to note the immense quantities of fancy
grapes that find market here. To-
kays, Black Prince and White Muscat
varieties are the popular ones and the
manner in which the trade clamors for
them is a caution.
Would you believe that over 500 tons
of grapes are sold in Houston every
fall? Well, all that and then some, If
the present rush of business holds out.
One of the big houses on Produce Row
last season from August Is to Novem-
Der 1 handled over As solid carloads of
grapes and this year that record will
be smashed. Other firms in Houston
receive a car every week and Ii is be-
lieved that there is an average of three
carloads of grapes coming into Houston
from California points every week of
the grape season. Only the rush in the
peach season eclipses this movement.
1t is believed that not less than 100
cars of grapes will be marketed here
this year. In every car there are an
average of 925 crates and in each crate
there are four of the standard baskets
or boxes. That means that there is a
grand total of 10000 baskets of grapes
sold here. Averaging each basket at
three pounds, this would make a grand
total of 1,110,0O0 pounds of the delicious
fruit of the vine. OF course there are
heavy inland shipments made by the
Produce Row dealers, but the large ma
jority of these heavy receipts Of grapes
depend upon the pocketbooHs of Houston
to keep them from being loss instead
of a profit to the dealers.
Beyond the announcement that onions
toIxa cd of ho mi
a pound, Produce Row gave no evidence
Of any special trading on Wednesday,,
with the exception of the fact that
every house was jam up with orders
and all lines are in strong demand. both
staples and fancy goods.
