Citrus Prices Hold Below Ex-OPA Ceiling As OPA price ceilings remained lifted for one week, choice California oranges were reported selling below the $6.16 former ceiling price on the New York auction market, it was reported here this week. Choice fruit in the large sizes was reported running as high as $9.25 a box and 252's were being quoted at $7.00 a box. Smaller sizes were said to be running as low as $3.00 f.o.b. New York. It was pointed out that inasmuch as 70 per cent of the packed crop this year is comprised of 252's and smaller, a weighted average of all fruits shipped would be somewhat less than $5.75 a box on the eastern market. General tone of the market was indicated as strong on the large sizes but unchanged on the smaller fruit. Under the pro-rate agreement, shipments this week were scheduled to be increased to 1,400 carloads as compared to last week's 1,000 cars. Present price trends refuted charges made last year when price ceilings were removed temporarily before the Christmas season and prices jumped over the $5.85 ceiling due to holiday table requirements. OPA at the time cited the citrus industry as a "horrible example" of what would happen if price controls were removed despite the fact, the strong surge upward was influenced by the heavy demand because of the season and NEW YORK-NEW YERSEY PICNIC AT BIXBY PARK, SUNDAY The New York-New Jersey joint annual picnic will be staged next Sunday at Bixby Park, Long Beach.
