Country-wide Produce Situation 
i \RUK < KOPS AND LOW PRICES ON MOST 
IRC ITS AND VEGETABLES MAKE HARD 
PROBLEM FOR PRODUCERS 
Low prices have cut down the earlot 
shipments of fruits and vegetables about 
one-iifth compared with a year ago. This 
if; the season when shipments naturally in¬ 
crease. reaching a high point of at least 
cars per day some time in October. 
At present, the volume of earlot movement 
is unusually low for September. Prices 
might be expected to respond to the more 
moderate earlot supplies, but nearby pro¬ 
duce has been so plentiful that quotations 
have hung around low points except on 
lines that are near the end of their active 
seasons. 
A GLUT OF TOMATOES 
Considerable perishable produce from 
distant sections has not been considered 
worth shipping under present conditions, 
including much stock of tomatoes, cab¬ 
bage and low-grade apnles. The last, two 
named could be fed to stock to a limited 
extent, but not so with tomatoes, and no 
doubt many tomatoes have been going to 
waste. Usually the eanners take up the 
surplus. The total amount of tomatoes 
canned this year is perhaps as large as 
usual, it would have been larger than 
ordinarily, owing to the heavy produc¬ 
tion. hut for unfavorable trade conditions. 
This year eanners in some sections 
found the market loaded down with old 
canned tomatoes. Money was hard to 
raise for paying for raw material and sup¬ 
plies and for holding the canned goods un¬ 
til they might find a market. Quite a 
number of eanners shut down especially in 
Maryland and adjoining states. Under 
these conditions growers found an unsal¬ 
able crop on their hands and much of it 
inclined to rot easily on account of 
weather conditions. Tomatoes have sold 
below cost many times during the season. 
Unfortunately this crop started at high 
pril ls in Spring and Summer and restau¬ 
rants and hotels charged accordingly, but 
neglected to come down when the price of 
supplies declined. Hence demand was 
not greatly stimulated and the market 
lias been slow, notwithstanding the low 
wholesale prices. 
THE CABBAGE PROBLEM 
Cabbage is low' because the yield is 
large everywhere and most markets are 
supplied well locally. The big cabbage 
shipping sections like New York and Wis¬ 
consin are finding slow demand. The 
outlook is none too good, except possibly 
for the long-keeping stock. Compara¬ 
tively few grocers attempt to hold cab¬ 
bage over Winter. They do not raise 
the hard, long-keeping kind, like Rail¬ 
head. and have no good storage houses 
for the crop. Accordingly, a few sections 
specializing in late, cabbage supply most 
of it after the first of the year and until 
the southern crop appears in Spring. If 
more of the. main crop were used in Win¬ 
ter the prices would average better. The 
crop deserves a steady, dependable mar¬ 
ket. No other Northern vegetable sup¬ 
plies so much substantial human food 
per acre for the time and labor required. 
Present prices are around $8 per ton in 
western New York and $12 per ton in 
Colorado, where the growers have formed 
a kind of organization which has kept 
up prices, apparently at the exnense of 
the demand. City markets ran"e mostly 
from $20 to $25 per ton for various types 
of all cabbage. 
DEPRESSED ONION CONDITIONS 
Onion growers are in a similar posi¬ 
tion. While the acreage was not es¬ 
pecially large, the crop is turning out un¬ 
usually well -with a heavy yield per acre 
and apparently of good size and quality 
and the supply will be large. There are 
still considerable stocks of Texas and 
California onions bold in storage. Spain 
is beginning to ship a few cargoes of 
the new crop. Valencias. Like the cab¬ 
bage growers, the onion producers are 
poorly supplied with storage houses in 
most sections and the usual buyers for 
storage are in a hesitating mood because 
of the recent downward trend of prices 
and the high rates of interest for money. 
The outlook ought to be fairly good for 
those who hold first-class stock in storage. 
Prices range around $2 for 100 lbs in the 
country for best yellow stock. A good 
deal of poor, immature, or heated stock 
has sold lower. The general prices in the 
city range from $2.25 to $2 and is con¬ 
siderably lower in the west than in the 
large cities of the East. G. B. F.

Buffalo Wholesale Markets 
Butter, cheese and eggs show a strong 
market, but produce is too plentiful, some 
of the low grades selling at merely nomi¬ 
nal prices. The city has confirmed the 
mayor’s order, permitting farmers to ped¬ 
dle their stuff in the streets, but they do 
not find time to take advantage of the 
privilege very generally. Quotations:
