Shippers Increase.

One of the most significant things
appearing in the study of this years
business in the extraordinary increase
in the number of shipping members
OF the exchange. In 1917, these num-
Oered PCS; in 1918 the number of ship
ping members was $50 This repre-
sent2 an increase of 1856.
There was available this year for
distribution among the growers, under
contracts entered into in 1917, $780,
1855. This is an average Of $15.25
per car, or 0305325 per crate. 1t rep
resents commissions paid on 6,115
cars.C COMMISSIONS are still to be col
lected on 500 cars, and these COM
missions under the contract will he
added tc the sum available for such
distribution in 1910. Commissions on
1883 cars sold this year on the +. 0. b..
basis averaged $24 per car, from
which it will be seen that the net cost
to the grower was only $S.73 per car.
Commissions on 1882 cars sold on
consignment averaged $29.S3 per car,
this making the net cost to the grower
$1A65 per car. This distribution of
proR:s reduced the actual commission
paid ry the grower to 10 per cent,
on q. b sales and per cent. on
consigned shipments. res
1t was reported at the last meeting
thar the executive committee had au-
thcriGed the use of reserve funds

PEACH EXCHANGE
HAS BANNER YEAR


The Georgia Fruit Exchange, in
handling the 1918 peach crop of this
state, has completed the greatest
record of its history, according to
the annual report of President W. B.
Hunter, which has just been made
public
The crop represented one-third of
all the cars of peaches moving il
United States, crop two and half
times larger than the average of the
preceding five years, and with one ex-
ception almost double that of any
other year.
The exchange distributed success
fully more than 5000 cars of peaches
and in selling this enormous crop
found it necessary to use only 1870 Of
the more than ESQ cities in which the
exchange has shipping and selling ia
ciiities.
Shipments from the state for the
year 1918 aggregated 8,052 cars, of
which the exchange handled 6,615
cars, the remaining 1887 cars being
those of non-members. These 6,615
cars represented 50 per cent. of the
total crop, as compared with Y per
cent. handled by the exchange in 1917
and 81 per cent. as representing the
average for the five-year-p period ante
dating 1917. The increase for 1913
was therefore 81 per cent. over the
average for the five-year period stated
and 10 per cent over the total of the
previous year.
Average Price Lower.
The average net return on consign-
cd shipments was $f.39 per crate, as
compared with $1.67 in 1917. The az
erage return per crate t. o. b. sales
vas $1.60 per crate, as compared with
81 70 in 1917 There is a large brok-
erage business in Georgia peaches and
re-sales undoubtedly increased the net
price at which peaches left the state
to probably $3.50 per crate.
A performance which stands out
pre-eminently in this years conduct of
the business and which more than any
other in the history of the organiza-
ton demonstrates the power and in
fence of the exchange declares Presi-
dent Hunter, was its prevention of an
absolute loss of probably Is per cent
of the entire crop through the ice
famine, the solution of which prob
Gem was accomplished through the
close cooperation of the food ad-
ministration at the request of the ex-
change.
The cooperation Of the federal rail-
road administration was also respon>
sible for the prompt movement OF
the crop.
Another big achievement of the ex-
change this year was its ability to
solve the big shortage of crates which
loo-ued up only sixty days before the
crop came on.

The correspondent of the Zionist
Organization says that the anti

tinues to assume increasing proper
tons. All recommendations of the
higher authority and conspicuous
political personages in favor of the
restoration of civic peace are fruit
less, and the anti-semitic movement
has infected even the political and
military authorities.
