Oet. 12 —United States de partment of agriculture weekly review says: (Jobbing prices and shipments for the United States for the period October 2-9. inclusive.) CHEST OF PEACH MOVEMENT PAST. The week ending October 2 was the biggest peach week of the season. This past week shipments from New York state fell off nearly a thousand cars. With the reduced arrivals on the markets; jobbing price* have held about the same level a* a week ago. New York El berta* are jobbing at $1.25®2.25 per bushel baskets. Due to the car shortage in that sec tion. much stock has been stored, and it is estimated that there were about 1,000 cars in storage at Rochester last night. As a result of the car shortage, shippers were often un able to load car* when the fruit was ready, consequently the arrivals on many market* have not been In the best condition. The peach crop in Utah thi* year has been heavy, with shipment* now declining: about 1,100 car* have been Shipped to date. MOVEMENT OF APPLES ABOUT ONE-HALF H EAVIER. Apple* are now appearing on the markets more plentifully. Washington and Illinois es pecially are shipping heavy; also Missouri and Arkansas doubled their shipments of a week ago. About twice as many apples have been shipped from Illinois to date as last year dur ing the corresponding period. Jonathans from that state are jobbing at $3.50@6.00 per bar rel. Virginia is now moving a considerable quantity of York Imperials and Jonathans. MICHIGAN GRAPE SHIPMENTS AT HEIGHT. Although the total movement of grapes for this past week was about the same a* the week previous, the supply from Michigan has nearly doubled. However, the movement to date from that state has been considerably lighter than that of a year ago. The New York crop is also moving quite heavily now. although only about one third as many cars are being shipped as were last year at the corresponding time. Cal ifornia, with 1,035 cars shipped this past week, moved fully twice as many a« any other *tate. CAR SHORTAGE INDUCES STORING OF PO TATOES. Due partly to the shortage of cars this year most of the Maine crop of white potatoes has been stored. Already most of the potatoes in that region are out of the ground, although only about 2,090 ears have been shipped, com pared with over 5,000 last year by this time. In Colorado the car shortage is also inducing growers to store, although not to as great an extent as in Maine. In the large potato sec tions of the central west. In Minnesota and Wisconsin, the movement Is gradually becom ing heavy, although digging Is still proceeding at the present time in those sections, so grow er* have not started to bringing in the crop In large quantities, F. O. B. prices have held firm for Wiaconsin ano Minnesota stock. Po tatoes are bringing $8.25@3.40 in bulk per 11 pecks f. o. b. Presque Isle. Jobbing prices arc firmer on most market* for Minnesota and Wisconsin stock, also in the ea*t Jerseys are jobbing nt sß.lo® 4.15 per 150-pound MK'k. which is an advance over the prices a week ' ago. SWEET POTATO SHIPPERS CONTINUE TO DECREASE. Shipments of sweet potatoes this past week moving from the eastern shore of Virginia mid New Jersey were considerably less than those a week ago. The movement from the eastern shore of Maryland, however, is in <-r> aslng. With the lessoned shipments prices have increased somewhat. Jerseys have ad vanced from $1.05® 1.15 to sl.lo® 1.20 per bushel, f. o. b. Jobbing prices are also higher, especially so Y'lrginla stock. to 97.868,672 pound*. The reports of 412 stor ages show stocks pf 64.579.214 pounds on Oc tober 1, 1917, as compared with 71,570,361 pounds on October 1, 1916. a decrease of fl.B per cent. The reports of 458 storage, show that the stocks <l*< i eased 29.7 per cent during ' September, 1917. while the report* of 314 stor ages show stocks decreased 14.7 per cent during September, 1916.
