LACK OF CARS
 HANDICAP TO
 GRAPE TRADE

STOCKTON. Cal, Oct. , (by As sociated Press) Grape growers in this section of California. from which quantities of table fruit are shipped each year, are in sore straits this year because the cantaloupe season in California was three weeks later than usual Railroads, concentrating efforts on supplying refrigerator cars to move the canteloupes, now find themselves unable to supply these cars for shipping grapes as rapidly as the grape men desire.
 Many wine grapes are being shipped this year, and while some of these formerly were moved in ordi- nary boxcars, grape men want refrig- orator cars for them this year, be- cause instead of being destined for wineries. they are to be used as table grapes.
 Eight thousand cars are the number needed, according to estimates by the grape men. Motor trucks are being used to move grapes to nearby points.
 Wineries near here virtually all are in operation, but are making grape juice, not wine, except in a few instances.
