Review of New York Produce Market 
(Supplied by New Jersey State Department of 
Agriculture, Bureau of Markets) 
From the time cold weather prevails 
until after the holidays fruit and vege¬ 
table dealers do not usually look for much 
activity in tnan,\ lines of produce. 1'rioe 
changes are not usually very rapid on 
the more staple commodities during this 
period, us such products as tipples, pota¬ 
toes, onions, cabbage and sweet potatoes 
:tr< mostly taken from storage houses, 
and shippers can regulate the supply to 
meet the demand much better than in 
harvesting time. The usual seasonal 
dullness prevailed on apples, the demand 
being limited, with prices for the week 
ending December IS holding about steady, 
best B. I. (Ireeniugs AlP.4-ineh selling 
chiefly at from .$4 to $4.25 a barrel, 
occasionally higher for a fancy pack. 
Potatoes also showed very little change, 
although the tone of the market was 
perhaps a little firmer, and values on 
Long Island Green Mountains increased 
about 25c per ISO lbs. during the week, 
most offerings from other States holding 
about steady. Bermuda potatoes were 
received to the equivalent of about four 
carloads. Maine is supplying about one- 
third of the New York receipts. New 
York State and Long Island furnishing 
the majority of the remainder, the total 
shipments received for the week amount¬ 
ing to about 275 carloads. Trading in 
sweet potatoes lias been dull, with con¬ 
siderable inferior stock arriving from 
Virginia. New Jersey shippers Supplied 
about one-half of the approximately 100 
carloads which were received during the 
week, the best selling at $1 to $1-25 per 
bushel hamper. The final December esti¬ 
mate for this crop, as reported by the 
United Stales Bureau of Agricultural 
Keonomics. is 100.534,000 bushels, or 
11.000.000 bushels more than the 1021 
estimate. Large quantities of sweet 
potatoes are reported to have been stored 
this year, due to the large crop and low 
prices at harvesting time. The onion 
market showed a little weakness, and 
1 trices dropped from 10 to 25c per 100- 
lb. sack, due to some accumulations of 
medium and poor grades of onions, Cab- 
bage held steady through fhe week. Beets 
and carrots have been selling well, with 
the market showing some improvement. 
New York State carrots bringing as 
high as .$1.75 per 100-lb. bag. The 
demand for celery Mas a moderate one, 
but the market was steady. Good cauli¬ 
flower was wanted, and large crates of 
Long Island cauliflower brought $4.25 to 
$5 a crate. Florida is supplying most of 
the lettuce, over 100 carloads arriving 
from that State for the New York trade 
last week. There seemed to be very little 
Baltimore spinach available, but offerings 
from Virginia met the wants of the best 
trade, nearby spinach being scarce and 
generally inferior in quality. 
Pon.TRY AND EGGS 
Receipts of fresh eggs were not quite 
as heavy last week, and with cold weather 
prevailing in the West, which lessened 
the chances for an immediate increase in 
the supply, they became firmer, some 
small gains even being made. Any mate¬ 
rial increase in the offerings, however, 
would likely cause a decline. The move¬ 
ment from cold storage has been fairly 
large, over 00,000 cases having been 
withdrawn from December 12 to IS. in¬ 
clusive, leasing 450,551 cases, or about 
52.000 cases in New York in storage in 
excess >*f last year's holdings on the same 
dale, according to Government reports. 
There has been a little increase in re¬ 
ceipts of nearby fresh eggs, but the de¬ 
mand has been good for the large fancy 
eggs, and there has been little difficulty 
in cleaning up desirable stock. However, 
many receipts of large eggs contained 
more or less small and medium qualities, 
and these had little outlet above (55c a 
dozen. 
Receipts of live chickens were liberal, 
but the demand was good and prices were 
well sustained on best stock. Choice 
fowl also sold well. Ducks and geese 
were in beter demand than usual, due to 
the Christmas trade, express ducks selling 
up to 24o and geese 25c a pound. Offer¬ 
ings of dressed poultry have been excep¬ 
tionally large, and considerable quantities 
were put into storage for the future mar¬ 
ket. Large size fowl were in good de¬ 
mand. A few capons have been coming 
in, the few nearby bringing 50 to 57c a 
pound for 8 to O-lb. size, western stock 
selling at 50c or under. Ducks and geese 
sold on a stronger market, best dry- 
nicked Maryland stock selling at 25 to 
30c a pound. 
11 AY AND STBAW 
But little interest was manifested in 
the hay market. Receipts have been a 
little light, but buyers during the holiday 
season seem to buy on the hand-to-mouth 
plan, and the demand has been light, 
with prices holding about steady. Rye 
straw was also steady. B. W. S.

the lime of the 1 year, but potatoes are 
firm. The severe weather of late has 
changed the market outlook. A moderate

Difference in freight charge is a great 
item in relative prospeiity of various 
kinds of producers. The percent of the 
wholesale price taken for freight on 
fruits and vegetables varies from an aver¬ 
age of about 12 per cent for Fasten; ap¬ 
ples, grapes and berries to over 50 per 
ceili for California fruit and vegetables, 
including ice. 
On the average about one-third of the 
price of produce the country over goes for 
freight. Miscellaneous and selling costs 
arc nearly eight per cent, and the shipper 
(not necessarily the grower I geis about 
60 per cent. Highest per ceut for the 
shipper are in the Fa stern apples, grapes, 
potatoes and sweet potatoes, and lowest 
on bulky Southern a ml Far Western 
truck crops requiring ice, like cabbage, 
spium-h anil lettuce. These statements 
are based on Government examination of 
about 10.000 carloads sold in principal 
Eastern cities the past two seasons. The 
shipper's per cent, of the retail price 
would i h* much less; the retailer adds 
about 25 per cent to what he pays for 
the goods; more than that for quickly 
perishable stuff, and less for apples and 
potatoes. 
HANDLING THE HANDICAP 
The most striking feature is the great 
handicap for remote shippers, and also 
Ihe fad that some distant shipments, like 
those of Florida oranges and California 
grapes, continue to net their shippers 
over 65 per cent of the wholesale price, 
been list* they sold liigb and did not need 
ice. Texas onions and Western prunes 
also did well in returning a fairly high 
per cent of the (trice. The aid of strong 
shipping associations helped swell the 
net returns of some of the producers. The 
hint is plain for remote producer-: in 
these days of high cost of marketing; 
raise things iIn*| will have best chance in 
competition in distant markets. 
WHO BUYS $3 BERRIES V 
Freight charges, or even express rates, 
do not bother the growers of early Win¬ 
ter strawberries, which have been selling 
at $2.50 to S3 per quart in New York 
and Chicago. It is well known that th« 
earliest and liiglicsi priced vegetables and 
fruits from the South, as well as mos of 
the Northern hothouse products, are sold 
in the great cities. F.arliest and highest
