Weekly Market Notes.
Raleigh, N. C., June.—The
shipping season for early Irish
potatoes is apparently working
to the advantage of North Caro
lina this year, finds George Ross,
Chief of the State Division of
Markets. Mr. Ross states that
Florida with its 5,000 cars is al
leady outof way. South Caro
lina, by no means through ship
ping, has moved a considerable
part of its tonnage. Louisiana
ha4 moved up to May 20th oyer
om-half of its crop, and if Vir
ginia shculd by any reason be de
layed, North Carolina will have
the field this season practically
to itself.
The shipments of ^ew potatoes
have been almost doublethoseof
last year. Favorable weather
conditions and the early shipping
season advanced harvesting dates
about ten days earlier than last
year. Shipments from this 6'ate
began practically on the average
date. The first cars mOved from
Beaufort in Carteret county on
^May ^ andi)y May 25, the ship
I ments were going forward in
quantities from both the V^'il
mington and BeaufortWistricte.
The Mt. Olive section be^
about J une first.
Mr. Ross states also that the
strawberry season iust closed
has been profitable to the North
Carolina growers. Factors in
Rose Hill and Chadbourn report
an average price of , between
lour and five dolla,rs per crate
thoughout the season, though
prices were low during the last|
