The owners w DEMAND EXCEEDS SUPPLY ON CITRUS MARKET; PRICES UP Despite some weakness in smaller-size oranges, the demand continues to exceed the supply in all parts of the country. Although the valencias are smaller this year, fruit exchanges and their chemists have definitely established the fact that the juice content is better than it has been for a number of years, insofar as the sugar content per pound is higher and the vitamin content is not impaired over the larger grades of fruit. Reports indicate an increased volume of competitive fruit, principally cantaloupes and peaches, but so far the volume has had little effect in the demand for oranges. Car load shipping is over that of last year by a nice margin while the market price is substantially up also. The harvest season in Florida and Texas is over, thus allowing California fruit to move to the markets over the nation. The embargo which was issued prohibiting shipments between June 24th and noon of June 27th has resulted in a very heavy shipment since last Wednesday noon. The car supply is still tight with prospects of little improvement. Shippers are hoping for an easement on available cars so that the huge citrus crop can be moved into market channels. Weather conditions over the country have varied greatly; however, demand has continued good and except for some cars showing decay, practically all cars are moving at ceiling prices, on lemons. As Bombardier Second Lt. George O. Thatcher, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jesse O. Thatcher, 924 North Olive street, was among four Californians receiving silver bombardier wings at the Big Spring bombardier school. With the presentation of wings Lt.
