- practically no fruit for shipping pur? >ses 
on account of unfavorable weather con- 
; ditions early in the season. This year 
; the fruit growers are suffering because of 
, overloaded markets, many apple shipments 
: not bringing enough to pay the cost of 
. marketing. Strictly fancy apples, which 
i made up a very small proportion of the 
offerings, had a fair demand in the New 
York market last week, hut (lie ordinary 
and poor stock moved very slowly and at 
low prices. The total commercial apple 
crop for the Cnitod States as estimated 
by the I'uited States bureau of Agricul¬ 
ture Economics for August I was 33.402.- 
OOO bids., or about 12,000,000 bids, larger 
than lust year’s production, and about 
500,000 bids, less than the 1920 crop. 
With Hie exception of California, the Pa¬ 
cific Coast States and Idaho will not have 
quite as heavy a production as last year, 
according to estimates. New York State’s 
apple estimate compares, very favorably 
with the 1920 crop, while I'etineylvania 
expects about 375.000 Mils, above the 
average production for the last three 
years. A good apple crop is forecast in 
Canada, according to governmental re¬ 
ports from that country, the crop being 
estimated at 1.522.0(H) bids., or about 75 
per cent of the 1921 crop. Receipts of 
peaches in the New \ nrk market were 
equivalent to nearly 4(H) cars for the week 
ending August 12. supplies coming mostly 
from New Jersey. North Carolina. Vir¬ 
ginia. Delaware and Maryland. The 
fancy large fruit was easily disposed of, 
but fruit showing up small or of poor 
quality was dillicult fo sell, as is usual 
on a glutted market. The huckleberry 
market was generally dull, many of the 
offerings were poor and wa.vty. some of 
the Nova Scotia berries lopping the mar¬ 
ket. An excellent crop of grapes is ex¬ 
pected in New York and the .Middle West¬ 
ern States, some grapes having already 
arrived on the market from New York- 
State. Delaware and Maryland mosk- 
melons were mostly ordinary, and prices 
averaged low. Mnskmebm supplies from 
New Jersey were also liberal, and West¬ 
ern cantaloupes continue to compete with 
home-grown stock. Watermelons were 
dull and weak. 
The vegetable market has been in an 
unsatisfactory condition. Supplies of 
most vegetables have been abundant, and 
prices low. String beans were in limited 
demand, and beets and carrots were slow. 
Tomato receipts inermsed, and under the 
existing conditions no reasonable offer 
for the quality of stuck in question was 
often refused. Most of the lettuce has 
been coming from New York State, which 
showed a rather wide range in quality ami 
condition. Fancy cucumbers sold well, 
but many of the peppers did not nay for 
the shipping. The potato market has 
been dull. There was a firmer market at 
New Jersey shipping points on the 14th 
and loth, Irish Cobblers. IT. S. No. 1. 
selling f. o. b. mostly around 81.50 to $i.60 
per 150 lb. sack. As reported last week, 
the estimated production of potatoes in 
the Fnitcd States for August 1 is larger 
than last year, but the total estimated 
production <«t the five largest potatu-grow- 
iug States in the East is less, although 
all but Maine show some increase. Must 
<>f the big increases in production are in 
the Middle Western States. Wisconsin, 
Minnesota. Michigan. Colorado and (he 
Dakotas leading. 
EGGS 
There has been some decrease in re¬ 
ceipts of nearby and nearby Western 
hennery white eggs, and fancy stock lias 
sold well at improved prices. - The poor 
fo ordinary grades have been showiug a 
wide range in quality and prices have 
been irregular. With ihr advance in 
prices on line eggs dealers are moving 
cold storage stock more freely, tlie bal¬ 
ance for the week ending August 12 be¬ 
ing in favor of withdrawals bv over 
16,000 cases. On August 15, 1,037.225 
eases were reported to be on band in 
New i ork City cold storage houses, com¬ 
pared with 1,273.257 eases last year oil 
the same date. 
Poultry 
Receipts of live poultry were lighter, 
especially on broilers, and trading was 
more active. Light weights, however, 
were very slow. Receipts of fresh-killed 
chickens showed an increase, and the de¬ 
mand. which had been active, moderated 
somewhat and prices declined. Dressed 
fowl sold moderately well, with prices 
holding about steady. 
lIAY 
Very little good old hay now arriving, 
’rite market has been firm on high-grade 
hay. new or old. Plenty of old under¬ 
grade hay has been offered, auu the mar¬ 
ket on such has been draggy. Receipts 
of rye a little lighter and market steadier.

In a certain town in Virginia liv >s a 
man who is noted for his reckless auto¬ 
mobile driving. One day he was ea’led to 
the telephone, and a woman’s void asked 
whether he intended to drive out that 
afternoon. “I do not think so.” replied 
the man. “Why do you ask?" “Well.” 
resumed the voice, "I just wanted to 
know it it would lie safe for my little girl 
to go uptown today.”—Everybody’s.
