Valencia Prices Drop As Shippers Hint of Possible Buyers’ Strike The price of California Valencias dropped somewhat by the end of October due to heavy arrivals of Florida fruit on the consuming markets. Markets for the few remaining cars of the fruit were in the doldrums, several shippers reporting evidences of a buyers' strike against alleged high prices of all commodities, a strike which received its impetus from the public's reaction against soaring prices of meat. Returns, hohwever, were still substantially above those of the past two years. Only 1,600 cars of Valencia oranges, tree crop, remained as of October 26 and it was anticipated that these would have been shipped by November 2. When price controls were removed from oranges on October 24, the reaction in the market was violent. Nearly all sizes of California Valencias were bringing ceiling bids prior to that date. Following the removal of controls, prices of large sizes sky-rocketed to as high as $15 a box, while the price of small sizes dropped drastically. Prices began to level off the following day, however, but, as of October 29, there was still a vast difference in the prices received for small and large fruits. Florida Shipments Strong Strong shipments from Florida of more than 2,000 cars a week are coming in and because of their huge crop, shippers are gradually coming down in their quoted F.O.B. prices. Florida oranges have sold substantially below California fruit ever since the southern state started shipping. During the three week period ending November 2, Florida shipments have totaled 6,700 cars. On that date the Florida shipments were more than a thousand cars ahead of the same date last year. Some wholesalers report that Florida shippers are attempting move during the week beginning November 4. Tulare county will start picking navels around November 15. Lemon Prices Firm Reports on the lemon market showed that prices are holding generally firm on the large sizes, but the small sizes are being discounted heavily. Although there were 1,028 cars of lemons in actual storage on October 29, it is probable that by November 3 there were no more than 750 cars remaining. The reason for this is that October picks were small and there seems to be a lot of collage in the fruit packed. It is quite probable that volume proportion of lemons will be discontinued by about the third week in November. Arizona is coming into the lemon picture in a small way and will be shipping in December. It is said that there are about 130 cars, tree crop, of lemons in Arizona. Central California has about 600 cars, tree crop, of lemons. Texas lemons are reaching the New England market. Grapefruit Market Poor The grapefruit market is poor. It is the beginning of the Desert grapefruit season but the buyers are somewhat cautious, as is usually the case at the opening of a season. Salvation Army To Sponsor Big Salvage Campaign Salvation Army officials announced today that plans are being made for increased collection of old clothing, furniture and other commodities as a part of salvage campaign which will reach its peak during the week of November 17 to 24. "The drive is designed to bring more materials into the workshop of the Men's Social Center at 1370 Alamitos avenue, Long Beach", stated Raymond Green chairman of the Salvage Campaign committee. Nearly completed is a new building which will provide work for 100 employees in the Salvation Army's rehabilitation program which offers a home, nutritious meals, warm beds and wagons for persons who seek to solve their economic problems through work. It was revealed by Green, who is also a member of the Salvation Army's advisory board, that reconditioned articles resulting from the campaign will be distributed to Salvation Army stores in this and neighboring communities where their sale will provide... their huge crop, shippers are gradually coming down in their quoted F.O.B. prices. Florida oranges have sold substantially below California fruit ever since the southern state started shipping. During the three week period ending November 2, Florida shipments have totaled 6,700 cars. On that date the Florida shipments were more than a thousand cars ahead of the same date last year. Some wholesalers report that Florida shippers are attempting to consign fruit, a movement further indicating a soft market on Florida oranges. Most shippers feel that the orange market will not really be tested until volume shipments of oranges from all producing areas hit the consuming markets. While shipments of California Navels will start a light movement by November 15, heavy shipments will not be ready before December 1: The Christmas market will be a strengthening factor, but by January 1 the entire marketing picture will be clearer. First shipment of Arizona navel oranges were expected to Grapefruit Market Poor The grapefruit market is poor. It is the beginning of the Desert grapefruit season but the buyers are somewhat cautious, as is usually the case at the opening of a season. The car situation continues tight. However, there have been sufficient refrigerators to handle the dwindling Valencia orange shipments and the curtailed lemon shipments. It is believed that there will be enough cars for the opening of the navel season in Tulare county. The Central California navel crop is estimated by the Orange Administration committee to be 13,400 cars compared with 10,085 cars last year. Prellmihary surveys in southern California reflect a tree crop considerably smaller than last year; approximately 23,000 cars compared with 27,600 cars last season. Present sizes projected on the basis of normal growth to March 15 indicate the average size this season will be 285 oranges per box. Buy in Anaheim and get greater values for your money.
