NO MARKET FOR ROSE FRUIT CROP THIS YEAR MILLIONS OF DOLLARS WORTH OF FRUIT ROTTING ON TREES Commission Houses Unable To Sell Consignments For Freight Charges. Chicago.—America, -with its greatest fruit and vegetable crop is losing" millions of dollars in apples, peaches, plums and potatoes daily because of lack of markets. An investigation at Chicago, the nation’s market center, today showed commission hotises accept only the select or fancy grades which are often sold as ordinaries to get them on the market before they perish. Great quantities of fruit are rotting on the ground due to high freight rates, combined with a bumper crop in every section of the country. The American Fruit Growers, inc., which until this season did a large national business has been forced to turn back hundreds of cars on the shippers, H. A. Clure, an official of the corporation told the United IJress. An example of the loss cited by Clure was thirty carloads of potatoes on track here today, from Idaho. These potatoes sell, far from $1.40 to $1.50. The cost of getting them to the market is about $1.45. The grower is lucky, if they are not sold at an actual loss. Apples from Nebraska cost one shipper of five cars from 4 to 19 cents per bushel. They were fancy grade but commission men (tlaim they would not sell above 65 cents per bushel which was ing costs. A Michigan shipper of a car load of peaches to the Chicago market was notified by the comission house that after' selling the fruit, he still owed $3).46 towaird paying the freight charges, the sale price having failed to cover the costs. "I am sending you another car of peaches in payment of the bill,” the grower replied. Michigan, crops are enormous. , Several commission houses admitted sending growers checks for sums ranging from one cent to one dollar in payment for carloads of fruit after
