WATERMELON PRICES
TAKE HEAVY SLUMP

vALDosTA. Ca. June 30. Owing to the
very heavy supply OF watermeIons for
the Fourth of July market, prices have
sunk to point below what 1t costs to
produce them. The shipments have been
immense from all points in the territory
and the Valdosta. Moultrie and Western
road Is bringing from 20 to so cars to the
city daily and that road will ship from
four to nve hundred cars during the
season.
There are more solicitors both for the
eoIhmission houses and the railroads,
than have ever been seen in the fields
before. The impression seems to be that
melons will go up again In few days
as soon as the holiday rush Is over.
Prices dropped from SIS car 70 $40
yesterday in a little while.
The territory around Valdosta raises
few watermelGns now, the local shippers
paying more attention to the cantaloupe
than anything else.
