TRUCK MARKET
OLDS STEADY
Valley Shipment* Now
Over 2000 Car*
Above Record
Freight movement of vegetables
and fruit from the Valley reached a
total of 17.716 cars Wednesday night
exceeding the high record last year by
approximately 2000 car*. Loadings
have been light this week due to the
heavy general rain Saturday night
and Sunday.
A gradual improvement*in the de-
mand for potatoes is noted on the
northern markets but the price is
still holding at $2.25. Loadings are
very light in the Valley and it is es-
timated not over 150 cars remain to
be shipped. The growers have large
quantities in storage in the north
ready to place on the market as soon
as the demand justifies.
Shipper* have been unable to *e-
rure sufficient tomatoes to meet the
demand of a steady market. Prices
for lugs of green wrapped range
from $2.50 to $2.75. and pinks un-
wrapped from $1.25 to $1.75. Growers
and shippers predict heavy movement
of tomatoes next week and expect a
continuance of the prevaling prices.
The green corn movement is in-
creasing with a moderate demand in
the northern markets. The price on
track average* around $1.25. Consi-
derable corn is moving out in mixed
cars.
Carrots and beets are still moving
in large quantities from the Merce-
des and Weslaco territories with
price* ranging around $1 in bushel
baskets and $140 to $1.50 in crates.
