was trading active. Beans and cabbage were 

 almost dead most of the month. Good cauli- 

 lower sold well. Good head lettuce sold well in 

 inall quantities, but lettuce in general was 

 hvays draggy. Beet and carrots were hard to 

 cU at anything like good prices. Most of the 

 early com had been picked too soon; good com 

 was scarce right to end of month. Early in 

 month, cucumbers sold well, but during the last 

 week they slumpred to 25 to 40 cents. Prices 

 for tomatoes, both hothouse and field, stood up 

 well until the 20th, when they turned; after the 

 24th, the decline was rapid; at end of month, 

 they were selling at 40 to 60 cents. Leamington 

 sack onions arrived toward end of month and 

 sold" at $4 to $4.50. The potato price on July 31 

 was around $1.50 a bag. 



Transportation Matters 



Fruit Branch, Ottawa 



RULE 21 of the Express Classification of 

 Canada provides as follows: "Each pack- 

 age, bundle or loose piece in a shipment 

 must be plainly, legibly and durably marked, 

 showing the name of only one consignee, and of 

 only one station, town or city and province to 

 which destined." Avoid delay, dissatisfaction, 

 tracing, claims, and perhaps loss of a customer 

 by starting your shipments right. Correct mark- 

 ing of packages helps to improve transportation 

 service for Canadian fruits.
