The following paragraph of a let
ter dated January %, received from
the Bureau Of Markets representative
in the Rochester IN. Y.) cabbage
district, is quoted for the informa-
ton Of the growers and shippers OF
the Lower Valley. If shipments from
New York state continue at so cars
daily (their January average), il
viii take month to clean them up
according TO this estimate:
at is estimated that there are
1000 to 1900 cars yet to be shipped
from New York state, which is some
what less than last season. Nearly
everybody concerned in the dea
feels that top prices were reached
last week, when cabbage sold al
S40@$42 Most of the brokers fee
that with the continued heavy ship
ments from the south, there will bG
further decline in prices here
which will cause holders to clean W
at a loss. Cabbage stored here las
fail was bought around $25 per ton
Allowing for hauling, shrinkage anS
trimming, unless they receive $33 t
$35 per ton they will take loss
