Philadelphia Produce Market 
(Supplied by New Jersey Department of 
Agriculture. Bureau of Markets.) 
The Philadelphia market has been over¬ 
loaded with apples, especially of the ordi¬ 
nary to poor grades, and the movement 
on such has been very slow. Best Duch¬ 
ess and Williams Early Bed in %-bu. 
basket sold up to 75c per basket the mid¬ 
dle of the week. July 26, with drops work¬ 
ing out at any price obtainable dowm to 
10c basket. Beaches were in fairly good 
demand if offerings were of good quality, 
fancy North Carolina Belle selling gener¬ 
ally around $3.25 per six-carrier crate 
(24 qts.). New Jersey peaches were in 
fair supply. Greensboro gradually clean¬ 
ing up in southern sections and Carman 
beginning to arrive quite freely. Huckle¬ 
berries had a fair demand generally at 
15 to 20c per qt. 
There was practically no demand for 
cabbage or squash, and the little that 
moved sold at very low prices. With 
more favorable weather conditions toma¬ 
toes ripened rapidly, the market became 
overloaded, prices slumped, and thousands 
of baskets were disposed of to fanners, 
There has been practically no demand for 
cabbage or squash, and the little that 
moved sold at very low prices. New 
York State peas were also in very poor 
demand, but lettuce was in light supply 
and generally sold well. Peppers, egg¬ 
plant and Lima beans declined under in¬ 
creased offerings and slower trading, 
while cucumbers were but little wanted 
at 10 to 25c per %-bu. basket, with 
pickles selling up to 40c basket on the 
26th. Eastern Shore Virginia, where the 
bulk of the potatoes have been coming 
from, is gradually decreasing its ship¬ 
ments Last year all but about a thou¬ 
sand carloads of the total shipments, or 
13.081, carloads, bad been shipped to 
July 23, and nearly 11,900 cars were for¬ 
warded this season to the same date, al¬ 
though shipments were late in starting. 
Supplies from New Jersey tire on the in¬ 
crease, with amount of shipments already 
a little ahead of last season, offerings 
being mostly of the Irish Cobbler variety, 
although die Giants have begun to move. 
On the 26th of July Irish Cobblers were 
selling at $1.50 to $2 per 150-lb. sack, 
and %-bu. basket, 40 to 50c. 
poultry 
Trading in live poultry has been rather 
quiet, with values averaging a little 
lower. Express receipts of colored fancy 
fowl sold generally 26 to 28e per lb- 
while lightweights brought up to 25c per 
lb. Spring chickens bad sale up to 35c 
per lb. for fancy stock weighing 2 to 2% 
lbs., with smaller averaging about 10c 
less. Most of the supplies have been of 
medium ami small stock, and really fancy 
poultry would likely sell a little higher. 
The dressed fowl market was kept pretty 
well cleared, those weighing 4 lbs. and 
over selling around 29c per lb. Broiling 
chickens were slow at 3S to 41e per lb. 
for nearby and 35 to 38c ior Western 
stuck. 
EGGS 
Fresh eggs have been decreasing in 
supply, receipts on the Bhiladelphia mar¬ 
ket, according to the Bureau » f Agricul¬ 
ture economics, being about 4,000 cases 
less for the week ending July 22 than for 
the week previous. The balance of the 
cold storage movement, however, was 
about 7.060 cases in favor of “into stor¬ 
age" for the four large cities. Philadel¬ 
phia, Boston. New York ami Chicago. 
Hie usual defective stick which occurs 
in midsummer was in evidence, causing 
a wide range in prices. Nearby extra 
firsts were quoted at 25e doz., and the 
closely selected candled eggs in cartous 
up to 32c. doz. when sold in stores on the 
25th. 
HAY' AND STRAW

market on strictly No. 1 stock, best Tim¬ 
othy selling at $23 to $24 per ton. and 
light clover mixed hav $19.50 to 820 50 
per ton. B. w. s.

A Bloomfield, la- woman, while talk¬ 
ing to her husband over the long-distance 
from a booth in that city, was repeatedly 
interrupted by her little sou. He made 
so much mdse and became so unruly that 
she left, the receiver off the hook, grabbed 
the youthful offender by the arm and took 
him to the ball, where she gave him a 
regular old-fashioned spanking. 8hc then 
returned to the booth and completed the 
conversation without the least interrup¬ 
tion. At. the finish she became very angry 
because of the charge for overtime, and 
insisted that the time she spent spanking 
be deducted from the charge.— The North¬ 
western Bell.
