Boston Produce Markets 
potato market I5IPROVE.S. 
Lighter receipts and better quality 
have helped the potato situation consider¬ 
ably, and for the first time in months, 
dealers are talking confidently of the 
outlook. “The market is so much bet¬ 
ter,” observed G. A. Fentress, “that I 
shouldn’t be surprised to see it go to $7 
very soon. It is about $6 per bbl. now. 
It may be that the potato market has 
turned the corner for a long time to 
come. The New Jersey crop coming 
heavily about the last of this month will 
bring in a big volume of shipments, but 
the yield all through the country may 
not be so large as promised by the larger 
acreage. Many fields seem to be running 
to tops owing to wet weather and the 
kinds of fertilizers used the past two 
seasons. In the Eastern Shore section, I 
found the crop often light and poor, al¬ 
though the acreage was one-fourth larger. 
The two upper counties, however, are 
doing better and are shipping us better 
sitock, beitter graded ]'ancl with (better 
keeping quality. The growers begin 
digging about three o’clock and leave the 
potatoes out overnight, which hardens 
them off without exposing them to the 
sun. Even when potatoes are not very 
ripe they will carry and keep fairly well 
in warm weather if properly hardened 
before .shipment. The way the market 
is receiving good stock looks well for 
the coming market for the Northern 
crop.” Old potatoes w’ere practically 
done some time ago, but one dealer was 
offering a few at $2.50 per 2-bu. bag, a 
price which shows the danger in over¬ 
staying one’s market. “They will keep 
better and cook better than most of the 
new potatoes, at that,” insisted the deal¬ 
er. Quick decay is the bane of Southern 
potatoes, because nobody dares to buy 
except in small lots. 
GREEN vegetables LOWER. 
_ Beets declined promptly w'ith the ar¬ 
rival of sown beets in quantity. The 
transplanted crop as usual captured the 
cream of the market. The price dropped 
from' Oc to 3c per bunch in a few days. 
One Arlington farm is sending in 400 
boxes a day. The same farm has been 
experimenting with German radishes, but 
because of the name or for some other 
cause, they bring only 30c per box. 
They closely resemble egg turnips in size 
and color. Abcut the same price is ob¬ 
tained for ‘Swiss chard, another specialty 
with very limited demand. Peas seem 
not to have been planted heavily in this 
section, although the yield was good. 
The large pod kinds bring $2 and small 
pods about $1.25. Cabbage price broke 
sharply to .$1.25 bbl., with liberal ship¬ 
ments. Soft stuff is hard to move with 
lettuce 10 to 25c box, beet greens 2.5c, 
kale 20c. The first New England green 
beans brought $3 or more per 28-qt. 
crate. Hyothouse tomatoes hold at 20c 
lb. Summer squash $1 dozen. 
fruits doing fairly yvELL. 
Berries seem rather high, and the crop 
of most kinds appears to be light or 
only moderate. “It was a pretty good 
strawberry season,” commented York & 
■\Vhitney. “Prices held w'ell most of the 
time, and berries came in good order as
