the west coast district are badly In

TEXAS ONIONS
STRONG In N. Y.
Lower Freight Rates, High
er Duties Combine to Aid
Local Product

NEW YORK. May 4-The two
bright spots in the Texas onion deal
this season are the big reductions In
foreign imports and the lower
freight rates to the northern mar
kets. Both Chile and Egypt are
sending fewer onions to this coun-
try, resulting in the South Texas
producers having less competition
than in 1923. A number of factors
have entered into the situation that
have resulted In lighter shipments
and the tariff undoubtedly had been
the dominating reason. With the
present duty of s1.50- per hundred
weight. the foreign producers have
found IL very difficult to ship to
this country and compete with the
Texas product.
So far this season. Chile has un-
loaded only 354 cars OF onions COM
pared with So cars last season. A
greater reduction is shown in the
imports from Egypt than from
Chile. So far this season which
means May /. Egypt has unloaded
only Ill cars, compared with 362
cars for last season. There is a
strong possibility that the shipments
for the balance of the season are
likely to run far behind last year.
because the importers have lost
heavily on practically all of the
shipments that they have unloaded.
In the face OF these heavy losses
there Is very little possibility that
last years shipments OF May and
June will be repeated again this
year. 227 cars in May and 260 ears
in June.
Lower Freight Aids Shippers
The lower freight rates on onions
to the northern markets is proving a
big moon to the producers. The
freight rate to Philadelphia and
New York is 80 cents per hundred
weight less than last year. or an
average of Is cents a box. With on
ions selling on the New York mar
ket in 1928 at $2.35 per box and
the same day in 1929 at S2.10. al
lowing for the 15-cent lower freight
rate. there Is a little difference be-
tween the two seasons.
This 30-cent freight reduction
means an average saving OF approx
imately 500 per car According to

dealers in these two major markets
the lower freight rates are proving
an important factor this season.
The appearance OF a considerable
number OF cars OF Texas onions In
both New York and Philadelphia
markets has made quite an impress
sion. The sacks have been favor
ably received and there Gems to
be little or no difference in the call
for either package. The trade has,
however. during the first few weeks
of the season shown a slight pref
erence for the standard crate. This
has been due largely to the green
condition of the first few shipments.
The crates enables the onions to
get better ventilation and naturally
they arrive in the market in much
better condition. During the last
few days when onions have been
arriving more matured than a
month ago. they have been readily
taken by the trade.
The old onion deal has ended
rather disastrously for the specula-
tors. Heavy losses we're taken dur
ing the last three weeks and at
the present the few remaining cars
are going begging for a buyer. The
better quality displayed by the new
Texas crop has taken over the mar
ket that has been buying the old
stocks. A much improved demand
is to be expected from now on for
the new Texas stocks. Last year
Texas had to meet the competition
of ISL cars Of old onions. while this
season, this has been greatly re-
duced.
The Texas onion Is meeting a
much stronger outlet in the New
York market this season than ever
before. Up TO the first of May. this
market has taken nearly 500 cars
of Texas onions. while last season
only 257 cars we're used.
This promises to be the greatest
year ever known in the New York
market for the Texas onion. Indi-
cations nov point towards a total
consumption OF over 1000 car Of
the Lone Star state product this
season. Last year a total Of 1.74T
cars from this state were consumed
while in 1927 only 902 cars we're
sold.
Texas now leads all other states in
the total carloads of onions sold in
this market and from present trends
the lead now held Is likely to be
greatly increased in the seasons TO
come. During the last two years II
has lifted itself head and shoulders
above its nearest competitors re-
