Review of New York Produce Market 
(Supplied by New Jersey Slate Department of 
Agriculture, Bureau of Markets) 
The mmber of cars of fruits and vege¬ 
tables unloaded during the week have 
dropped off considerably since shipments 
of Eastern grapes have become negligible. 
East week only 625 cars of fruits and 
vegetables were unloaded, which is about 
MOO carloads less than for a week's ship¬ 
ments a mouth ago. Receipts of nearby 
produce were moderate also, but supplies 
were adequate to meet the demands, as 
trading in most commodities was rather 
slow. The combined offerings of apples 
in carlot shipments and trucked in stock 
front nearby farms made the supply of 
this fruit a fairly liberal on?, but the 
marker held steady for good stock. Best 
New York Greening ranged $4.25 to 
• 4,60 per barrel, while Virginia 2Vi>-mch 
St ay man brought $5 per barrel ou the 
27th. According to the United States 
Department of Agricultural Economics, 
there were more than 4,000.000 barrels 
and as many boxes in storage on Novem¬ 
ber 1. the largest amount ever reported 
as being in storage so early in the sea¬ 
son, the peak load usually coming a 
mouth later. The above figures for No¬ 
vember 1 are considerably in excess of 
the average December 1 holdings. The 
cranberry market was a firm one, at $5.50 
to $6.50 per half-barrel box. 
There was very little change on the 
white potato market. Trading has been 
slow and receipts were ample to cover all 
demands. Pennsylvania round whites 
have brought about $2 per 150-lb. sack, 
while Jersey Green Mountain sold mostly 
at 40c per %-bushel basket. Onions 
were firm under a moderate supply, the 
majority of them coming from the Mid¬ 
dle \\ estern States and selling from $2 
per ewt. downward, according to qual¬ 
ity. Now York cabbage was a little 
scarce and sold on a firm market at $20 
to $22 per tou. A few’ peppers are still 
coming from New Jersey, but lettuce 
supplies are beginning to come from the 
South as well as from nearby and West¬ 
ern .States. There was a good market 
for fancy lettuce, Western Iceberg bring¬ 
ing $4 to $4.50 a crate of three to four 
dozen heads. Half-barrel hampers of 
Florida lettuce ranged 85c to $1 on the 
27th. and some Virginia stock sold up to 
$1.25 u hamper. Long Island Brussels 
sprouts advanced a little and mushrooms 
were in good demand, a basket containing 
M lbs. selling from $1.25 to $4.50. New 
York State celery was generally steady 
at $M per two-thirds crate, sold in the 
rough, although Thanksgiving trade will 
likely stimulate prices for a few days. 
EGGS AND POULTRY 
Egg receipts were about normal for 
the season, over 12,000 cases being re¬ 
ceived in Philadelphia via transportation 
companies for the w r eek ending November 
25. these figures being about the same as 
for the same weeks in 1021 and 1022. ac¬ 
cording .to Government reports. Really 
fine eggs were scarce and the market 
firm on such, but the majority of offer¬ 
ings were only ordinary, and on such the 
market was quiet and of irregular value. 
Extra firsts from nearby sources whole¬ 
saled up to 64c a dozen and firsts 5S to 
60c a dozen. Very few eggs w T ere put in 
storage jn Philadelphia last week, but 
about 3,700 cases were withdrawn daily, 
leaving 152.698 eases, on hand on the 
27th. compared with 96.827 cases a year 
ago. 
Plenty of live poultry was offered, and 
the demand has been confined principally 
to the fancy stock. There has been very 
little change in the live fowl market, 
heavy colored stock selling at 26 to 28c 
per lb., and smaller fowl at about 10c 
I ter lb. under these prices. Large fancy 
chickens and broilers weighing 4 to 5 lbs. 
brought Up to 24c per lb., and the few’ 
turkeys offered brought 45 to 50c per lb. 
Receipts of nearby dressed turkeys were 
very limited, and under a good demand 
prices advanced to 60c per lb. on fancy, 
while Western turkeys sold from 40 to 
57c per lb., as to quality. Supplies of 
fresh-killed fowl and chickens were 
rather liberal, but good stock sold well 
and the market w s well sustained. 
Heavy fresh-killed inwl brought up to 
MOe. while nearby chickens averaging a 
little under 2 lbs. sold at 33 to Mac. the 
heavy chickens selling for about the same 
price as heavy fowl. According In the 
Government cold storage report for No¬ 
vember 1. the amount of frozen fowl, 
broilers and roasters on band was not 
quite as large as last year, but holdings 
of turkey were a little heavier. 
HAY AND STRAW 
The limited supply of really good hay 
wms feopr well cleaned up. N<>. 2 Timothy 
selling at $19 to $20 per ton and light 
clover mixed at $18 to $20. Undergrade 
hay. however, sold rather slowly at ir¬ 
regular prices. ((fferings of wheat and 
rye straw were light and the market toe 
firm. No. 1 rye straw averaging $21.50 
and No. 1 wheat straw about $13.25 per 
ton. The market on oat straw was a 
weak one. No, 1 straw selling generally 
at from $12.30 to $13. b. w. s.
