F New records for vegetable and
r A fruit shipments from the Valley will

HR survey report of the U. S. depart
lBj| ment of commerce which shows a
IB reduction of 20 to 30 per cent from
[H* the early estimate.
The new estimate, growers and
'.V»J -flippers state, reflects actual condi
HB,-ions. and is expected to stimulate a
jfBLnarket which has been draggy un
the prevailing opinion that an
R. gj^ptionally heay tonnage of early
*bl«e would be marketed.
jO W-mecords for carrot and beet
|B s have been broken the
Mil pac^WTeek, and there appears little
^R diminution of supplies. Shipments
H' of other commodities, all of which
SB are bringing profitable prices to
|H growlers. show a steady increase.
RR The second car of potatoes moved
|B from Brownsville Friday, shipped by
B Brown White, and the heavy move
|H ment will get underway the last of
BP next week. Green beans, which
B have been moving by express, also
E will start moving in straight cars
IB during the week, shippers predict.
IB ) A heavy movement of fruit is ex
B . pected the next two wTeeks, with
H ' March 28. the last day on which
SR fruit can remain on the trees under
the provisions of the limited em
B * bargo. The fruit movement has
IB '• shown a steady increase the past
B two weeks.
B, The peak of shipments will be
B reached between March 15 and 20.
R| shippers forecast, with the predic
E tion that daily loadings will run as
B high as 300 cars.
