MONTHLY PRICES OF SELECTED CALIFORNIA TRUCK CROPS ON THE 
 SAN FRANCISCO, OAKLAND, LOS ANGELES, AND NEW YORK CITY MARKETS 
 
 1910-1934 
 
 H. J. Stover j/and A, W, Stuart & 
 
 The monthly market prices of selected truck crops presented herein 
 have been compiled in response to a long-recognized need of the large and 
 expanding California truck-crop industry for this information.^ 
 
 Changes in the character of the various truck crops produced, in the 
 form in which they are sold, and in tho method of packing and type of package 
 used have made it extremely difficult to secure comparable price data for any 
 length of time. Such available information as could be readily obtained has 
 been used in determining the size of the various factors employed in convert- 
 ing prices quoted in various units to a comparable basis » The resultant price 
 series is presented at this time, in preliminary form, with the hope that 
 helpful suggestions and criticisms may be forthcoming and with the expectation 
 that, despite several recognized limitations, the data may serve a very useful 
 purpose • 
 
 Sources of Data . — The original price data for these tabulations wore 
 secured from the following sources: 
 
 San Francisco — The Pacific Rural Press (1910-1922), the San Francisco 
 
 Call (1910-1922), and the daily reports for local 
 fruits and vegetables released by the San Francisco 
 office of the Federal-State Market News Service 
 (1923-1934), 
 
 Oakland — The Oakland Tribune, 
 
 Los Angeles — The Los Angeles Times (1910-1922) and the daily reports 
 
 for local fruits and vegetables, released by tho Los 
 Angeles office of the Federal-State Market News 
 Service (1923-1934). 
 
 New York City — Tho Producers* Price-Current, 
 
 Truck Crops Included . — 1 Monthly prices for each of tho following truck 
 crops aro presented in this report: artichokes, asparagus, lima beans, string 
 beans, beets, cabbage, cantaloupes, carrots, cauliflower, celery, lettuce, 
 onions (yellow), peas, spinach, tomatoes, and watermelons. The San Francisco 
 
 </ Assistant Professor of Agricultural Economics, Assistant Agricultural 
 Economist in the Experiment Station, and Assistant Agricultural Economist on 
 the Giannini Foundation, 
 
 Research Assistant on the Giannini Foundation, 1933-34, 
 
 The tabulation of those prices was made possible through tho assistance 
 rendered by persons employed on C.W,S, and S.E.R.A. funds.

 market quotations for all of those products are included; the Oakland market, 
 all products except beets and cabbage; and the Los Angeles market, all pro- 
 ducts, except artichokes. The New York market quotations do not include lima 
 beans, string beans, beets, cabbage, onions, spinach, or watermelons. 
 
 Method of Tabulating Price Data . — The monthly prices included in this 
 report are based upon sample quotations secured from the several original 
 sources. In tabulating prices from daily reports, five quotations por month 
 were selected as a basis for the monthly averages. This selection was made by 
 taking quotations for produce sold on or about the third, ninth, fifteenth, 
 twenty-first, and twenty- seventh days of each month. Prices obtained from 
 the Pacific Rural Press, a weekly publication, were tabulated as issued and 
 monthly averages calculated from the so weekly quotations. 
 
 The monthly prices were obtained in all cases by computing simple 
 arithmetic averages of the quotations secured for each month. When a price 
 was quoted in the form of a range, as 6 © 7^, the arithmetic moan of the two 
 figures was used in the calculation of the monthly average, Somo monthly prices 
 presented herein are based on a smaller number of quotations than indicated 
 above, When this was done, a notation to that effect is made in the footnotes 
 to the tables. No monthly price is included which is based on loss than threo 
 quotations • 
 
 In the transcription of the prices from the original sources, all quo- 
 tations wore tabulated, Howovor, in order to secure ono continuous series of 
 prices, expressed in tho samo unit throughout, it was necessary to set up somo 
 basis for converting prices quoted in different units to one common denomin- 
 ator. This was done by selecting ono unit of measure or weight as tho stan- 
 dard and converting pricos cxpressod in all othor units to tho approximato 
 equivalent of that unit. The conversion factors used in this process wero, 
 in most cases, dorivod through estimates of the relative sizes of various con- 
 tainers and of the weights of various quantities of the products concerned, & 
 Tho quoting of prices in sovoral different units at the same time made possible 
 a certain amount of chocking on theso factors, A notation relative to tho 
 specific conversion factors used accompanies each table of prices. 
 
 Utilization of the Data ,— Tho series of pricos prosontod herein is not 
 equally suitablo for all purposes. It is, therefore, important that persons 
 using these data understand their characteristics and realize both thoir 
 advantages and limitations before applying thorn to any particular purpose 
 
 Heretofore, very little information of any character pertaining to tho 
 prices (farm, wholesale, or retail) of important truck crops has boon available. 
 Until comparatively recent years, the truck-crop industry even in California 
 was not of sufficient importance to justify the devotion of much time and effort 
 to tho compilation of such information. The time is fast approaching, however, 
 when tho availability of theso data will bo imperative. 
 
 In tho compilation of the price series presented herein, emphasis has 
 been placed upon the securing of a broad general picture of truck-crop price

behavior. The data for individual products for specific months arc not suf- 
 ficiently rofinod as to justify their uso in a dotailed price analysis. Im- 
 provements which will bo undo in tho data during future years may ovontually 
 permit their uso for this purposo.
