Canada’s Storage Stocks of Butter on July 1 Below last Year.
The quantity of creamery butter in storage throughout Canada on July 1
was 10,178,891 lbs., while that of dairy butter was only 426,671 lbs.
Comparative figures show this to be a decrease of 34% in the case of
creamery butter and 18.83% in the case of dairy butter from the amounts
held in storage on the corresponding date last year.

=The average quantity of peanuts= exported per annum from Senegal during
the five years 1916‒1920 was 190,512 metric tons, according to the
American Consul at Dakar, Senegal. Peanuts constitute the most important
export crop of Senegal, most of the exportable surplus going to England
and France.
_Fruits ^{and} Vegetables_
SHIPMENTS CONTINUE HEAVY; WHITE POTATO PRICES SLUMP
Car-lot Movement So Far This Season about 28,000 Cars Larger than to
Same Time in 1921.
Shipments of 14 lines of fruits and vegetables during the week ending
July 29 increased nearly 300 cars over the previous week, having filled
14,531 cars. This is about 930 cars less than during the corresponding
period last year, but the total movement of these 14 products this
season to July 29 is 28,000 cars ahead of last season to the same date.
With accumulated supplies in many cities, white potato markets were slow
and weak. A further decrease of 275 cars in last week’s shipments,
however, may tend to strengthen this line. Peaches also showed declines
of 50¢-$1 under a peak movement of 2,100 cars. Cantaloupe markets tended
to advance and watermelons were nearly steady, even though shipments of
the latter crop jumped nearly 500 cars over the preceding week. Movement
of grapes and pears continued to gain, especially from California. The
grape season is later than usual in central California, but probably
20,000 cars of grapes will come from that territory this year.
