ton opened steady at a decline of 2
to 7 points, with active months
showing net losses cf about 10 to 13

SMASH GREEN
BEAN RECORD
Eighteen Cars Loaded In
Valley Monday; Price
Holds At $2.00
A new record in green bean ship- j
ments from the Valley was estab-1
lished by loadings Monday when 18
cars, 5 freight and 13 express, moved
out. Shippers stated this was the
heaviest daily loading of green
beans in the history of the truck
industry in the Valley.
The major part was loaded at San
Benito and Brownsville, few beans

the Valley. In addition to the
straight cars a large volume was
shipped i nmixed cars.
Cabbage loadings were reduced to
29 cars, the lowest in recent weeks.
Ttyj price sagged last week to SS per
ton. and many shippers are refusing
to take cabbage at any price. Total
U. S. shipments Monday was 41 cars,
and it is possible that the reduction
in the movement will restore the
market to some extent.
Potato loadings totaled 25 cars,
the price holding around *2.09 per
} hundred to the grower. The bean
j price also is holding around *2.00
I per hamper, with shippers prodict
| ing a steady price throughout the
