Countrywide Produce Situation 
PRINCIPAL CROPS BID FAIR TO CLEAN UP 
AT TOLERABLY GOOD PRICES. 
The gradual recovery and stronger tone 
of the potato market was the feature of 
the last half of March. The underlying 
cause seems to be the rapidly decreasing 
stock suitable for distant shipment. 
Western producing sections are nearing 
the end of their supply considerably ear¬ 
lier than seemed likely a month ago. 
Quite a number of States have already 
shipped more than for the whole of last 
season, although the estimated crop was 
less this season. 
A fair conclusion is that the more fav¬ 
orable market and weather conditions 
have been bringing out a larger per cent 
of the reserves, also that the remaining 
stock must be quite limited. Unofficial 
reports indicate not over four-fifths as 
much stock left as a year ago. but the 
strengthening markets may bring forward 
unexpectedly large supplies. Shipments 
from distant sections show hut little net 
margin at low prices, hut strong markets 
encourage growers to stop Spring work 
and haul potatoes to the shipping sta¬ 
tions. 
• A recent feature pleasing to Eastern 
producers i6 the decrease of shimnents 
from Canada. Western growers are net¬ 
ting $1 to $1.40 per 100 lbs., compart 1 
with 75c to $1.10 at the recent low point 
of the season. Eastern prices to growers 
range 25 to 50c above Western. City 
wholesale prices range $1.70 to $2.25 per 
100 lbs., mostly $2 to $2.15 in the East. 
STORAGE FACILITIES NEEDED. 
Onions and cabbage are ending the sea¬ 
son in quite a blaze of glory, but the 
situation is rather exasperating to grow¬ 
ers. because few of them have stock to 
sell now. owing to the poor keeping 
quality of the present crop and to lack 
of suitable storage houses. The storage 
men made heavy profits this year, which 
may encoura. them to take hold more 
vigorously the coming season. The weak¬ 
ness of most onion producing sections is 
the lack of facilities for handling the crop 
when the buyers refuse to take it at 
once. Co-operative storages would have 
paid well. Much stock that went begging 
at $1 per 100 lbs. in the Fall came out 
of storage at $3 or more. City wholesale 
prices are ranging $3 to $4 per 100 lbs., 
considerably below the highest point of 
the rise. 
Cabbage has sold at all kinds of prices 
recently, ranging from $30 to $100 per 
ton. in bulk, in various city markets, but 
mostly between $40 and $50. Shipping 
figures look as if not much more old stock 
will be coming, and Florida. Texas aud 
California cabbage is not yet moving in 
very heavy volume. Indications are that 
Northern truck growers will meet less 
than the usual competition from the South 
this year. Early Northern potatoes, cab¬ 
bage, onions, etc., ought to meet active 
markets. Lighter acreages appear as far 
north as Maryland. High cost of pro¬ 
duction is assigned as the principal cause 
of the decrease. 
FIELD BEANS IN' STEADY WAITING 
POSITION. 
Beans are doing a little better, owing j 
chiefly to apparent refusal of growers to ! 
sell at lower prices. Business has been ! 
almost . at a standstill in principal 
Eastern producing sections. Western 
producers have been reported combining 
to pool and hold their stock. There is 
little or no buying from Government 
sources and no export business except a 
little in food release shipments. The 
strange contrast appears of a nutritious 
highly concentrated food offered at about 
the cost of production, aud on the other 
hand millions of distant people reported 
half starving. City wholesale prices^ for 
hand-picked white beans Tanged $7 to 
$7.50 per 100 lbs. 
Apples are a little draggy in some mar¬ 
kets. owing to softening, etc., but are not 
lower for best stock, and range $9 to 
$10.50 per bbl. in large lots. Exports 
were very heavy in February, but less 
active in March. G. B. F.

The situation mostly turns on the big 
advance of butter, the low price of eggs 
and the unusually high figure for apples, 
all said to be due to natural causes and 
not manipulation. Poultry is strong, but 
not active, and potatoes remain much as 
before. The snowless Winter has favored 
Northern vegetable preservation, for 
though freezing has been the rule,on bare 
ground, it has not been severe enough 
to kill plants generally, even though 
they had begun to put out leaves. ^ Had' 
they been buried under snow all Winter, 
the freezing they have had in March 
would have injured them badly. At the 
same time the Southern climate has been 
less favorable, so that early vegetables 
are not here in sufficient quantity to 
break Winter prices very generally. 
Potatoes are in light receipt and 
stronger at 45 to 75c per bu., with sweets 
$3.50 to $4 per hamper. Onions are 
easier at $2.25 to $2.75 for home-grown, 
per bu., and $4.50 to $5 for Spanish, per 
crate. Beans remain steady at $4.50 to 
$6.50 per bu. Apples are about prohibi¬ 
tive and $11 to $11.50 per bbl., with the 
poorest windfalls $2 per bu. 
Vegetables are active and strong at 
$11 to $12 for uew Southern asparagus; 
85.50 to $6 for new Florida cabbage; 
$1.75 to $2.25 for cauliflo wer; $5.50 to $6
