URGE GROWERS.
Hold CABBAGE
Markets Must Be Stab
ilized, Brownsville
Dealer Says

"Hold up cabbage shipments . few
Gays and give the market an oppor-
tunity to adjust ITSELF" is the advice
Of w. Z. McDavitt, Brownsville deal
er, who returned Sunday morning
from Memphis, where he attended
the convention Of the Western Fruit
Jobbers' association.
Mr. McDavitt has spent nearly
three weeks in the north attending
conventions and investigating mar
ket conditions.
Stocks Of stored cabbage are
practically gone" McDavitt said.
Last week considerable storage cab
bage was placed on the market, and
this aided in forcing the price down.
Shipments from the Valley have
been too heavy, and they must be
cut down until the market adjusts
itself
During the last two weeks there
has been no activity in the major
markets CT the north. due to the cold
wave which practically paralyzed
business. Vegetable dealers in Chi
cago and other northern cities we're
doing practically nothing with hun
dreds Of cars unopened on the track
and the Thermometer registering be-
low zero.
Weather conditions have moderat-
ed, and the demand is becoming more
active, but we can expect no mate
rial Improvement in price until the
stocks at terminals and rolling are
depleted. The only way to accom-
plish this is to hold down shipments
q few days. II this is done, / am
confident the market will adjust it.
self"
While in the north Mr. McDavitt
made q thorough survey OF the cab
bage situation. and found that stocks
would cease to be a factor on the
market by February I. In many Sec
tons the stored stocks have been
disposed Of and there will be prac-
tieally no competition for the south
Texas cabbage. Last season over
5000 cars of cabbage were In storage
on February /.
W can make this the best cab
bage deal in the Valleys history IL
we can get the market stabilized"
MeDavitt said. "Stop cutting q few
days, and the market can adjust it.
self. Utmost care must be exercised
TO prevent immature cabbage or any
inferior grade going onto the mar
kets, as 9 few such cars would result
In complete Generalization"
1t Is understood that 4 conference
OF shippers will be held today for
the purpose Of reviewing the titus-
ton and suggesting means to reduce
cabbage shipments for several days.
