OFFICIAL REPORT OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE 



fruit shipments, and the destination of the cars. While the bulletin is 

 not all that could be desired, and it can hardly be hoped that it can be 

 made perfect, yet it has, even in its imperfect state, proved of great 

 value to the grower and shipper, by giving them approximate informa- 

 tion of the daily shipments, the varieties of fruit going forward, and the 

 date of their probable arrival in the Eastern markets. Since the issu- 

 ance of the daily bulletin, the glutting of Eastern markets has been of 

 rare occurrence, of short duration, and attributable solely to local causes.
