Delay in Peach Handling and Freight Costs Among Markets
The testimony described a 25 percent delay in peaches in good weather and 60 percent in bad weather. The New England freight yard was frequently crowded with teams in the early morning. Witnesses noted imports shrinking in Boston as fruit moved to other markets with lower freights and more speculative purchase at the production site. Freight to Chicago ran about 230 dollars and to Cincinnati about 200 dollars, with Wyoming to Chicago about nine hundred miles. The hearing could reopen in Washington within ten days to hear producer testimony directed by Mr. Massey.
