DIFFERENCES IN TRANSPORTATION RATES FROM SHIPPING POINTS 
The freight rate per crate from Laredo, Tex., to Chicago in 1922 
was approximately 50 cents, as compared with 75 cents to New York. 
Similar differentials existed with regard to other cities. A still greater 
difference in rates exists between California and Texas shipping 
points. Freight rates thus create fixed advantages of certain ship- 
ping points and markets over others which will always be indicated 
by the price paid, other things being equal. 
In the producing areas those growers located at a distance from 
the important buying centers have sometimes had to sell their onions 
a few cents per crate less than otherwise because of the lack of com- 
petition. In the important shipping centers, however, competition 
between the dealers has usually been rather keen.
