AUGUST JURGENS, 



184-144 Herndon St., Chicaf^o, 111. 



ers say they will let go if the price 

 reaches 5 cents a pound or $8 a barrel. 



The market records show that onion 

 set values at this same time last year 

 were fully one-third lower than they are 

 at the present time. Some of the more 

 bullish dealers anticipate a $2 a bushel 

 marl^et early in December. H. R. White- 

 side, the largest operator, says that in 

 his opinion the situation has resolved it- 

 self into just how high sets can go and 

 still be used. ' ' I believe firmly, ' ' said 

 he, ' ' that the deal will close at a higher 

 figure than they have sold for in ten 

 years. On March 1, 1906, they were 

 bringing $3.25 per 32-pound bushel, or 

 $16.25 a barrel. Now the indications 

 are they will be worth more than that 

 long before planting time. Chicago and 

 other producing points are already draw- 

 ing large immediate shipments from this 

 district and the demand for future and 

 prompt deliveries was never so great at 

 this particular time in any previous sea- 

 son, and undoubtedly more sets will be 

 planted next spring by onion producers 

 than ever before. To me it certainly 

 looks like a record breaker." 



The Packer says the Whiteside con- 

 cern is doing a large business in sets 

 this season; in fact, they have led the 

 van in taking on the supply since the 

 movement began. It is conceded that 

 they have handled the major portion of 

 the crop so far. Large and small future 

 deUvery orders are being booked and 

 their shipping has averaged a car of sets 

 a day since the season opened. The 

 more conservative ones in the trade say 

 it is dangerous to advance prices so rap- 

 idly. However, if the distributors and 

 customers must have them, the sets are 

 here and will be delivered. 



The Louisville crop of Yellows as a 

 whole is good this season; they were 

 never better, small in size, very few 

 picklers among them and the keeping 

 quality excellent. While the Whites have 

 shown a bit more than the usual shrink- 

 age, the dealers say, they will hold up 

 until spring without further loss. Thosa 

 who have been over the ground say the 

 bulk of the Whites has already been se- 

 cured by the dealers. Heavy buyers from 

 all parts of the country have been on 

 the ground contracting for carlots. At 

 Jefferson, the principal table onion grow- 

 ing point, nearly all the sets have been 

 marketed. It is said considerable of the 

 remaining supply will be held by the 

 growers for planting purposes. The 

 other principal nearby growing -4istricts 

 are St. Mathews, along the Bar^Stown 

 Pike and Eighteenth street withia^and 

 outside of the city limits. 



Pickle onions are very scarce and 

 growers are receiving around $7 a barrel. 

 Onion seed is in demand. The market 

 this week is white $1.25 a pound, yellow 

 90 cents, Yellow Danvors $1.10.
