Mexican Tomato
Prices Jump Due To
u. S. Cold Wave

Even with Mexic tomatoes
priced around $100 a lug above
quotations last week prior to severe
freezes in Florida and Texas winter
vegetable areas, w. E. Urick, we'll
known tomato shipper, is still not
overly optimistic about prospects for
shipping stampede along the bor-
der.
Mr. Urick lists a number of rea-
sons why the Mexican tomato busi-
ness cannot increase by leaps and
bounds during the remainder of the
shippino season. First, he says, is
the fact that Cuba can supply a
large portion of the demand and is
fairly close to eastern markets.
He also lists as an important ele-
ment against the border tomato
business is the fact that the pres
ent high prices together with an
import duty of around $7O0 a car
make the vegetable too costly to be
handled in large quantities by the
average produce company.
Also, 5000 acres of California to-
matoes north of Brawley around
the foot of the Salton Sea are now
ready to start shipping If the Mex
ican west coast offered the only
possible supply, the local tomato
man says the price could not rise to
exorbitant figures as it did occas-
ionally during boom times since
fresh tomatoes are not considered a
necessary part of the daily diet by
most housewives.
Contrary to local opinion, Mr..
Urick says tomato crossings have
been about the same this year as
they were last season. To date, 405
cars have crossed the border this
season, as against 429 in 1899 Cross
ings of peas are only about dozen
cars behind last year.
The tomatero expects this COM
parison to last years figures to con-
tinue fairly close throughout the re-
mainder of the season, but says the
price rise has introduced an ele-
ment of profit which will enable
many brokers to get on their feet
and clear up outstanding bills car
ried over from the past few ex-
tremely bad years.
