PRODUCE MARKET NOTES

Fruit and vegetable shipments
have been moving at the rate OF 5,0Ot
carloads per week day, showing an
increase of 10 per cent compared
with the preceding week and 5 per
cent compared with the same week
last year. Heavy gains the second
week of June included cantaloupes
800 more, potatoes about 500, TO-
matoes 400, melons 800, peaches,
plums, lemons, carrots and corn
about 100 more of each, according
to reports of the Bureau of Agricui-
tural Economics. These gains were
partly Offset by moderate decreases
in apples, grapefruit, cherries, straw
berries. cabbage. onions, celery and
peas.
The large wholesale market con-
ditiOns were generally in buyers
favor. Demand is fair to good but
supplies by train and truck are
heavy and prices mostly lower. Even
carrots and celery. the high-priced
leaders the first part of June, were
receding from top levels on prospect
of larger supplies.
Potato Supplies Heavy
Shipments OF potatoes have been
coming at the rate of more than 1000
cars per week and are likely to con-
tinue heavy with the California sea-
son at its height, the South Carolina
movement very active, and ship
ments increasing from Oklahoma
and Arkansas. while a large crop in
Kansas and Missouri is coming to
market soon.
The northern shipping movement
is nearly over. The total Of late
crop shipments from IS states prob
ably will be near $4,000 carloads,
against $4,000 last season. Most OF
the states shipped more potatoes this
season. Maine approaches 10000
carloads and Idaho exceeded $4,000.
The largest percentages OF gain were
for Pennsylvania. Long Island, Mon
tana, Washington and Oregon. The
large decreases were in Minnesota
and North Dakota which shipped less
than half as many cars as for the
previous season. A few old crop pO-
tatoes are still selling in eastern
markets at $1.75 to So per 100 pounds.
Shipments of early potatoes so far
have already exceeded last seasons
total. Trend of prices was still slight
ly downward in mid-June. South
eastern country shipping points quot
ed fob. prices 10c lower after the
middle of the month. ranging 9Oc to
$I.1O per 100 pounds. Jobbing range
in northern markets was $1.40 to
$1.5O. California White Rose brought
So to $3.50. Buyers were inclined
to hold OF because of heavy receipts
and possibly of further price de-
clines. There was some tendency
for supplies to accumulate on track
al Chicago. Distribution has been
wide and consuming demand active.
Demand For Onions Slow
Onions have been selling little
better at an eastern jobbing range
of 75c to $1.10 per so pounds. with
few price recoveries on receipt from
north Texas. Shipments from that
section were lighter for a time and
track holdings reduced. but owing
to slow demand the advances were
not well maintained. California
White Wax onions still show decay
in some lots. They are selling around
81 in central markets. Government
support appeared around the 60 cent

Increased movement OF cabbage by

have shown decreasing trend during

above 10000 ears during the calen-
dar years 1927 to 1882 and averaged
about $4,000 from 1888 to 1886 in
