Tomatoes and green corn COM
prised the bulk OF the vegetable
shipments from the Lower Rio
Grande Valley during the past
week. Carrots are cleaning up, the
weeks movement being only 81
cars. The number OF cars or mixed
vegetables was greatly reduced. due
partly TO the shipping qualities OF
the two major commodities. To-
matoes are shipped mostly in ven
tilated cars. whereas green corn
requires extra heavy refrigeration.
Mixing them for shipment to dis
tant points is impracticable. The
first car of watermelons from
Texas this season was loaded at
San Perlita on Friday. There were
two car Of grapefruit from Valley
storage moved to points north OF
the cotton zcne.
Among the vegetables shipped
during the week ending Friday
night were 376 ventilated and as re-
frigerated cars Of tomatoes. 100
cars Of green corn. 81 mixed vege-
tables. and 80 cars Of carrots. The
freight movement from the Valley
to date this season is fruit 1897,
vegetables 20.338. or a total Of 22.075
cars, to the same date last season
it was fruit 1146. vegetables 1911,
or a total of 1883 cars.
Tomato Market
The tomato market was weak
during the early part of the week.
but more strength was shown Fri
day when wire inquiry became act
i've. Growers were generally being
paid &c q pound for mature greer
stock in bulk. and 75-65c a crate
for pinks in 4-basket flats. Car
lot sales of Tugs on wire orders
closed Saturday at S1.85-2.O0. and
at S1-75-1.85 cash track FOB ship
ping point. Local showers during
the week have interfered only
slightly with picking. and have
probably benefited the crop by in
creasing the yield and improving
the sizes. Shippers report that the
abundance Of small tomatoes con-
tinueS TO be a detrimental factor.
Unofficial reports from Florida
indicate that the tomato shipments
from that state will decline randi
~ after this week. also that the
quality is uncertain. Imports
from Mexico have already fallen off
considerably, and poor returns from
stock being received in large term
inalS are calculated to terminate
the movement from that country
into the United States. The out
look for Valley tomatoes during the
next ten to fifteen DAYS Is bright.
since no serious competition from
other sections Is in sight.
Holding Steady
Green corn is holding about
steady at s1-O0-1.15 per bushel bas-
ket on wire orders. s1.25-i.35 for
crates. and 40 to so cents Der
bushel in the field to growers.
Shippers report a better demand
for this commodity than had been
found during previous weeks. The
stock Is less affected by worms
and better shipping varieties are
now being harvested. An occa-
sional a Of potatoes was ship
ped. but the Texas potato move
ment now centers around the
Eagle Lake : Wharton : S~ugarland
section. Rains have interfered
with digging. Yields are reported
heavier than i'm 1923. Growers are
receiving mostly S3.25 per hundred
pound sack. Cabbage from Sugar
land IS In good demand. and prices
Friday were around S35 per ton to
growers.
