Excerpt from Market Supplies and Prices of ApplesThese tables were based on the car-lot unloads in these 41 cities rather than on the total supply, including trucked-in and other local receipts, because reliable information on local receipts was not available for all cities, whereas the car-lot receivers were able to furnish fairly complete records and estimates on the car-lot receipts. In most cities the car-lot sample on which the estimates were based included more than 70 per cent of the car unloads. Local receipts by motor truck often went direct to retail stores or to the consumers or were handled by small dealers and peddlers, and estimates on the quantity and varietal composition of this local supply were not as accurate as Similar information on car-lot receipts obtained from large dealers.The apple movement from important commercial States such as Washington, New York, Virginia, and Illinois is largely in car lots, and statistics on shipments and unloads are in car lots. An analysis of the car-lot supply of important markets showing the relative importance and source of varieties, supplemented by such information as is available on the local receipts, gives a good idea of the commercial apple supply.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
