IHU.KTIX L206, U. S. DEPARTMENT of agriculture. 
the percentage of arrivals has actually decreased. This situation 
may be explained in part by the fact that certain small cities that 
formerly obtained supplies from these large car-lot markets now buy 
straight ears direct from producing sections. Failure to develop a 
demand and increase distribution in the large consuming centers 
has been disappointing to southern growers and shippers, especially 
in the South Atlantic States. Tables 5, 6, and 7 show arrivals in 
12 markets, by States of origin, for three consecutive seasons.
