produce raisers are doing well. It is said

will be doubled next season.

Review of New York Produce Market 
(Supplied by New Jersey Department of 
Agriculture, Bureau of Markets.) 
Supplies of apples have been excessive, 
especially poor stock, and the market has 
been dull, although a little better move¬ 
ment has lately been reported on the bet¬ 
ter grades, but at unimproved prices. 
North Carolina atid Georgia growers have 
been the heaviest shippers of peaches, 
Georgia contributing 256 carloads and 
North Carolina 111 for the week ending 
July 30, according to the United States 
Bureau of Agriculture Economics. These, 
with liberal offerings from New Jersey 
aud moderate supplies from various other 
peach-growing States, the market showed 
some weakness, fancy Belles dropping 
about 50 cents per six-carrier crate dur¬ 
ing the week. Huckleberries were dull. 
Cherries were firm when faucy. 
Growers complain at the average low 
prices at which vegetables have been sell¬ 
ing. Offerings have been heavy, and with 
dull trading prices have slumped to un¬ 
profitable levels ou many commodities. 
New Jersey is now the heaviest, shipping 
State for potatoes, and early in the week 
many growers stopped digging on account 
of the condition of the markets, cash 
buyers at loading points paying about 1 
cent a pound the first of August. Sweet, 
corn has ruled low, as receipts were very 
heavy, and string beaus have averaged 
noor in quality and were difficult to sell 
unless fancy. New Jersey growers over¬ 
stocked the pepper market and prices de¬ 
clined steadily. Tomatoes were over¬ 
abundant for the demand, and prices con¬ 
tinued low. Cucumbers, especially from 
Delaware and Maryland, and eggplant 
sold but slowly, but Lima beaus were 
steady to firm. Onion receipts increased 
with New Jersey, New York State and a 
few from the Connecticut Valley arriving 
on the market. There were also liberal 
imports of Spanish onions. Beets and 
carrots were plentiful and the demand 
only moderate. 
EGGS 
There, has been a light supply of really 
fancy fresh eggs, and these had a little 
better demand last week at slightly higher 
prices. In spite of the improvement on 
top grades, however, the market as a 
whole was not in a very satisfactory con¬ 
dition. There was a wide range in val¬ 
ues, considerable Western and Southern 
stock being defective, which sold slowly 
at low prices. Supplies of nearby white 
eggs have been decreasing and fancy stock 
sold well, but medium and poorer grades 
were generally dull. The upward ten¬ 
dency in the price of eggs, which is 
usually strong late in the Summer, will 
very likely be affected by the excessive 
supplies of cold storage eggs. Under the 
circumstances dealers are anxious to 
move their holdings, and any material 
.advance in prices will moan increased use 
of storage stock. For the week ending 
.1 illy 31 the “into storage" movement was 
heavier than the withdrawals in New 
York and Chicago, while in Philadelphia 
the differences of the movement in the 
"ingoing* and "outgoing" eggs were not 
large. 
POULTRY 
The increased receipts of live poultry 
by freight were more than the market 
could absorb at prevailing prices, and 
dealers were obliged to reduce them to 
provide a wider outlet for their stock 
Colored broilers via express sold well if 
fancy, but the market was overloaded 
with light weights, and concessions had 
to be made to prevent the carrying over 
of too much of this grade of stock. Fancy 
heavy fowl were about steady, but poor 
and thin fowl were generally slow. Al¬ 
though the supplies of fresh killed poultry 
was generally light, the marke! was dull 
and weak. Fowl were fairly steady, but 
a large proportion of the receipts were 
broilers, and the market on these tended 
downward. 
HAY AND STRAW 
Very little really good bay was offered 
last week, most of the season stock being 
the "clean-up" of the season. Receipts 
were liberal, however, and the market 
slow and lower. New rye straw was 
plentiful; market weak and prices de¬ 
clined. w> s -
