MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION OF STRAWBERRIES.

this fact is shown by a >- 

 dotted line. The prices 

 quoted in New York are 

 per quart, and those quoted 

 in other markets are per 24- 

 quart crate, as this type of 

 crate is the one most com- 

 monly used in these markets. 

 Quotations covering berries 

 from sections using styles 

 of crates other than 24- 

 quart (such as the 32-quart 

 from Delaware and Mary- 

 land) have been reduced to 

 a basis of 24-quart crates 

 for purposes of compari- 

 son. The black horizontal 

 line running from left to 

 right indicates a price of 10 ~^5 S S S 3 " ° S § 



cents per quart, or $2.40 per Q - 



24-quart crate, this being selected as a median line.

COMPARISONS OF PRICES RECEIVED FOR STRAWBERRIES ON IMPOR- 

 TANT MARKETS. 



Figures 6 to 11 show comparisons of the jobbing prices for berries 

 from various sections, on the New York, Pittsburgh, Buffalo, Chicago, 

 St. Louis, and St. Paul 

 markets from day to day. 

 These were prepared from 

 the telegraphic reports re- 

 ceived from the markets 

 during the season. The 

 low and high prices are 

 represented for each day, 

 the range between the two 

 being blacked in. Where 

 only one price was quoted, 

 the price variation from 

 day to day is shown by a 

 single line. On days when 

 there were no berries from 

 a certain section on the 

 market and no quotations,
