MOVEMENT OF TRUCKHEAVY Price Decline Noted For Many Leading Commodities FORT WORTH. Tex., Feb. 21.— The market supply of southern truck crops and citrus fruits was increasing, while holdings of stor age crops in the north and west , gradually diminished. About 120 * cars of strawberries rolled from Florida during the week, as against 17 a year ago. And Jobbing prices on a quart basis were only 30-50c. Shipments of carrots doubled to a total of 215 cars, mostly California stock. A sudden decrease in move ment of California cauliflower re sulted in generally higher prices. Forwardings dropped from 450 cars I during the first full week of Febru- : ary to 45 cars and the f. o. b. mar ket at Los Angeles advanced to 75-1 90c per pony crate. City dealers received $1.50-2.25. Cucumber season was opening in Florida. Last year that state ship ped nearly 1500 cars of cucumbers and in 1927 about 2300 cars.

Prices of celery, cabbage and old potatoes showed a downward trend with movement of these products fairly heavy. Lettuce and tomatoes registered a general advance, and the market for northern onions was improved by reports of a freeze in southern Texas which will de lay the crop In that state. Output of oranges increased sharply to 2540 vers of which California furnished 1370 and Florida most of the re mainder. For the second week of February. 1938. orange shipments totaled only 1465 cars. Gains in the carlot movement of celery, carrots. Spinach and potatoes helped to push up the week’s total of twenty two fruit* and vegetables to 7,100 cars or 2.230 nore than a year ago. Texas Onions Delayed The recent freeze in southern Texas has delaved Bermuda type of onions from that state and has strengthened the situation for northern storage stock. The Ray mondville district of Texas suffer ed least of damage. Production in other sections of the state may be reduced slightly but quality of part or th" crop doubtless will be affect ed adversely. Shipments will be delayed probably a week or ten days. Total shipments of northern and eastern onions decreased last week to 460 cars. Imports increased again to about 95 carloads of which 80 came from j Snain. 7 from Holland. 6 from | Mhili and 1 from Italy.

Southwestern Michigan shippers also advanced their quotations slightly to $5.49 while the western slope of Colorado reported a high range of $4.60-4.75 on the small volume that remains in that sec tion. Both domestic and imported i yellow varieties were Jobbing gen- i orally within a ranee of $5.00-6.00 ! per sack. Some far western onions sold as high as $6.25-6.50. Remain ing domestic supplies are in strong hands. Potalocs Decline further As potato snipments increased fin liter to a total of 5.300 car.> prices declined slightly below the preced ing weeks level. Growers in west ern New York were getting only 35-40c per bushel and shippers about 90-85c per 100 lbs. of sacked round whites. Green Mountains were slightly lower in northern Maine at 75-80c and round whites and Russet Rurels returned 69-70c I in the north central area. Red River Ohios sold at 65-70c in the I Moorhead district. Colorado ship- I pers were able to get $1.00 on Red '■ McClures while the southern Idaho j market held about steady on Rus- I set Burbanks at 65-75c. Movement was gaining in the far west; Idaho shipped 640 and Co!orado 500 cars | lait week. The north central reg ion increased its potato forward- i ings to 1640 cars. Pennsylvania and j New York together shipiied 500 ] and Maine 1300. An unusual fea ture in the Boston market is the high price obtained on 90 lb. sacks j of a grade Prince Edward Island Green Mountains. These selected j potatoes had been selling in Boston j at $1.75 though they closed lower j at $1 50-1.73. The Chicago cariot | market on northern round whites was somewhat lower than the week | before at 75-90c but Idaho Russets j advanced to $1.66-1.80.

Sever cold weather was rrnorted in i minv of the northern and western j stages which had some effect on notato trading. Northern Maine had temocratures as low as 29 de grees below’ zero. Reaction in Cabbie* Market Cabbace has been unable to hold Us recent gains parth* because of the liberal sunplies of pew stock from the south. Only 170 cars of storage stock were shinped during the week of which 120 came from western New York, where the f. n. b market was lower md dull at $38-40 per ton.
