 tion; and the movement of the peach-crop from competing peach-states.

 New York so far as obtainable. The volume of the product for western 

 New York is shown by figures taken from the New York Central Railroad ^ 

 and the Lehigh Valley Railroad. Peaches were shipped from towns as

These figures include plums but the shipment of plums in 191 5 was so 

 insignificant as to be negligible and more than offset by shipments of peaches 

 not accounted for by the carriers named. 



In addition to the above the American Express Company took out of 

 this territory about 175 cars, mostly in less than car-lot shipments.
