MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION OF STRAWBERRIES. 
13 
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, 
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 § °- £ S S S " ' ° £ q 
cents per quart, or $2.40 per ^ 
24-quart crate, this being selected as a median line. 
DIFFERENCES IN PRICES CAUSED BY RANGE IN QUALITY.

in quality between the best and poorest berries appearing on the
