RADISHES

The radish movement from Blevins and other nearby points continues with generous volume, but the peak of the movement has passed and prices are now on the decline. How ever, there is still enough profit to justify continued shipments.
 The crop this year is lighter than usual, but this has been offset by ear Illness. fine quality and good prices The total movement to date will ag- gregate about 2,000 barrels and it does net appear at this time that the total at the close of the season will reach over 2,000 barrels, which is far behind former years. So far in the deal the average prices returned to the growers have been around 5000 per barrel, but from now on to the close of the season the average will fall much below this figure.
