Review of the New York Produce Market 
(Supplied by New Jersey State Bureau of 
Markets) 
Thousands of bushels of early apples have 
been lying on the ground in Delaware. 
Maryland and New Jersey for the want of 
a market. Markets, both large and small, 
have been overloaded with windfalls and 
ordinary grades of apples, and under a 
dull demand wholesalers have had difli- 
ciilty in moving anything but the fancy 
fruit in New York and many other East¬ 
ern markets. Fancy blackberries sold 
well, the lies! coming from the Hudson 
River Valley, but huckleberries were dull 
and the market weak, with considerable 
wasty stock being received on account of 
the wet weather. Currants and cherries 
attracted hut little attention from buyers, 
but Georgia peaches were in firm demand. 
Shipments of Elbertas and Georgia 
Belles from Georgia were heavy, with 
the Caroliuas and Now Jersey contribut¬ 
ing moderately various other varieties. 
With the exception of a few commodi¬ 
ties the vegetable market lias not been 
very satisfactory during the past week. 
Although the receipts of string beans 
were not particularly burden some, trade 
was quiet and market generally dull. 
Beets and carrots were slow and cabbage 
was little wanted. Corn was freely of¬ 
fered. but quality was irregular and 
prices allowed a wide range. New Jersey 
lima beans generally sold well, but stock 
from further south often arrived in poor 
condition and sold slowly. The tomato 
was one of the few vegetables for which 
there was a real demand, hut these sold 
slowly if too green. Prices advanced 
steadily up to about the 15th. when heavy 
shipments caused a had slump in prices. 
New York State growers have been liberal 
shippers of lettuce and peas, with prices 
holding up well for the week, although 
prices on most other commodities could 
not be sustained. Peppers were freely 
offered, hut trading was slow and prices 
s and 
declined. Potato prices dropped rapidly, 
due to the heavy shipments. For the 
week ending July 15 the receipts for the 
New York market were equivalent to over 
700 carloads, according to the report of 
the United States Department of Agri¬ 
culture. nearly 600 carloads coming from 
Virginia. Igist year the Eastern Shore 
section of Virginia opened up a little 
earlier than this season, about 11.000 
carloads being shipped to July 17. com¬ 
pared with 10.303 carloads to same date 
this season. Total shipments last year 
from this district was 13.0S1 carloads. 
EGGS 
Receipts of eggs continue to be rather 
liberal for the season, and with the un¬ 
usually large amounts in storage, 1,635 
723 cases in New York on the 18th, com¬ 
pared with 1.281.622 cases on the same 
date last year, according to the Bureau 
of Agriculture Economics (formerly the 
Bureau of Markets), dealers are impa¬ 
tient to begin moving their holdings. 
With hot weather prevailing the propor¬ 
tion of fresh eggs received grading really 
fancy has been small, and the use of 
high-grade storage eggs, in a small way. 
has probably had some influence in pre¬ 
venting advances on the high-grade fresh 
product. There has been a little better 
clearance of thi* fancy qualities of the 
nearby white eggs and receipts have been 
decreasing gradually, and but few price 
changes were apparent. The. market on 
the bulk of the offerings has been quiet, 
easy, and showing wide range in quality. 
LIVE AND DRESSED POULTRY 
Although freight receipts of live fowl 
were not very heavy early in the week, 
the market was unsettled, and with heavy 
amounts expected the market developed 
some weakness. The supply of express 
broilers was generally heavy and prices 
tended downward. 
The supplies of fresh-killed poultry 
have been affected by the good prices at 
which live poultry have been selling, re¬ 
ceipts being fairly light, as some shippers 
preferred to forward live instead of 
dressed poultry. Tim railroad strike also 
contributed to the somewhat unsettled 
condition of the market, some shipments 
from some sections of the country coming 
in late. Broilers were in a moderate 
supply, but the demand was mostly for 
immediate use, as prevailing prices were 
too high for storage purposes. 
HAY AND STRAW 
There has not been very much change 
in the hay market, trading being gener¬ 
ally slow. Rye straw, however, is no 
longer selling at the extreme high prices 
which prevailed a week or two ago. due 
to larger supplies of new straw from New 
Jersey, which sold about the middle of 
the month at $28 per ton. B. W. S. 
Various New Jersey Markets 
The New Jersey State Bureau of Mar¬ 
kets gives the following fresh-killed broiler 
prices and notes: 
Wholesale I’rice —Freehold (farmers’ 
market), lb.. 50c; Newark, lb.. 46 to 48c; 
New York, lb., 40c; Bhiladelphia, lb- 38 
to 42c. Retail Brices—Camden, lb- 5o 
to 65c; Plainfield, lb- 70 to 75c; Free¬ 
hold (farmers’ market), lb., 60c; New¬ 
ark, lb- 50 to 55c: Montclair, lb- 65c: 
Orange, lh- 55c; East Orange (farmers 
market). 55c. There is a wide varia¬ 
tion in prices. It will be noticed that 
wholesale prices in local markets are 
higher than in New York or Philadelphia, 
and that, nqultrymen in South and Cen¬ 
tral New Jersey, who last week received 
35 to 42c, occasionally. 50c per ll>. for 
fresh-killed broilers from local buyers, 
received practically as much at. their 
farms as they could get for thorn in the 
large markets. This is likely due to the 
fact that hut little New .TerseJ poultry 
goes through the big wholesale markets at 
this season of the year. Buyers for faney 
trade, such as hotels and restaurants from 
the metropolitan district and seashore re¬ 
sorts. use a great many fresh-killed New 
Jersey broilers, which they buy more or 
less direct from the poultrymen, thus cre¬ 
ating a higher market than can bo ob¬ 
tained in the large cities, where the most 
of the dressed poultry comes from West¬ 
ern and Southern States:
