Review of the New York Produce Market 
i Stippli<‘il b.v New Jersey State Department of 
Agriculture, Bureau of Markets*) 
New York State apple growers have 
been shipping rather freely, and with sup¬ 
plies from New Jersey and other nearby 
States the market, has been pretty well 
loaded. Onditiotis. however, showed a 
little improvement over the previous week, 
when the market was practically demoral¬ 
ized. Shipments of Elberta pearlies have 
been heavy from New Jersey, and by the 
end of August the heavy shipping season 
will he over. Some ol' the packing houses 
having already shut down. Peaches moved 
very slowly early in the week, but after 
two or three days of unfavorable weather 
for picking and a decrease in supplies a 
stronger market prevailed. New York 
growers have be-'n marketing the first of 
I heir Elbertns from the western sections 
of the State, but with an estimated pro¬ 
duction of nearly 3.000.000 bu. for New 
York State, much heavier shipments may 
he expected soon. 
Muskrnelons were generally firm on 
Eastern stock, as Delaware and Maryland 
are about through, and supplies of Jersey 
Ford Ilooks arc becoming rather limited. 
Late in the week, however, the market 
became easier on Western stock. Dela¬ 
ware and Niagara, grapes from New 
York State were a little alow, but the 
demand for fancy black grapes was fairly 
active. Plums were generally dull. 
Long Island and New Jersey are sup¬ 
plying practically till the potatoes now 
being used in the New York market. 
Supplies bare been liberal, the demand 
limited, movement light am* tho^ market 
generally dull. In fact, many New Jer¬ 
sey growers stopped digging for a time 
on account of the condition of the East¬ 
ern markets. I’p to August 28 New Jer¬ 
sey growers had shipped nearly 9.500 
carloads, or about 11,500 carloads more 
than to the same date last year. This 
is within about 1,000 carloads of the total 
estimated shipments from New Jersey 
last season, and many growers still re¬ 
port considerable quantities to be dug. 
String beans sold well, if fancy, but beets 
ami carrots were dull, Lima beans were 
dull and prices low until the 29tb. when 
prices advanced materially. Onions from 
New York State were plentiful, the mar¬ 
ket developed a little weakness, and best 
yellow onions declined about 25c per sack- 
late in the week. New York State let¬ 
tuce was also liberally offered; the mar¬ 
ket was generally dull, ns much of the 
stock was of inferior quality. Peppers 
and tomatoes were slow and drnggy. and 
price* continue tn hp low. 
EGGS 
There has not been any great change 
in the egg situation for the past week or 
two. The nearby white eggs were rather 
scarce, and prices advanced about 2c per 
dozen during the week ending August 29 
on finest qualities, a more rapid advance 
being prevented by the more liberal use of 
cold storage eggs. For the week ending 
August 2f! the balance of cold-storage 
movement in New York City was iu favor 
of withdrawals by over 28,000 cases. Very 
few eggs, however, are coming out of 
public warehouses, most of them coming 
from the dealers’ own stocks. The amount 
of case eggs jp storage in the four large 
cities on August 2S. as reported by the 
I’nited States Bureau of Agricultural 
Economics, was 4.073,889 cases, compared 
with 3.380.778 cases on the same date 
a year ago. 
POULTRY 
Freight receipts of live poultry have 
been unusually heavy for the season, and 
there has been considerable delay and 
much of the stock has arrived late on 
account of strike troubles. Heavy fowl 
have been in fairly good demand, but 
White Leghorns were plentiful and prices 
declined. Colored broilers sold well, but 
lightweights were liberally offered and the 
market weakened. During the past week 
a decrease in receipts of dressed poultry 
was noticeable, probably due to the in¬ 
creased shipments of live poultry. Small 
broiling-sized chickens were in the bset 
demand, ns speculators were using them 
to put into the fr. osiers. 
HAY AMI STRAW 
The hay market lias been weak under 
heavier offerings, and prices declined. 
Small baled hay has accumulated in 
rather large quantities. Rye straw, how¬ 
ever. is still scarce and firm. it. w. s.
