GRAPE BUYERS
SEEK CONTRACTS

Despite the earliness of the season
there is considerable activity in grape
contracts at this time, and dealers
are talking contracts to growers. This
is according to growers of the northern
district who have been approached by
buyers for the 1929 crop.
1t is said by growers that little
progress has been made, however, as
early contracts in 1927 were given at
n figure lower than late season con-
tracts, and consequently most growWs
are desirous of waiting in the hope of
obtaining a better figure.
Values are at variance. The grow.
cr thinks one figure, and the buyer
the other, and as a result few have
agreed upon u common price:
There are reported, however, some
contracts for zinfandels at $75 per
ton, and muscats from 500 to $65 PEI
ton. No price has been obtained upon
other black varieties, nor upon ali.
cantes.
. Conditions are very favorable for a
big grape yield; an abundance OF
moisture, and the probability of little
or no frost such us occurred last
year to kill off the tender shoots,
