Market News and Prices 
Review of Philadelphia Produce Market 
(Supplied by New Jersey State Department of 
Agriculture, Bureau of Markets.) 
The potato market, which was firm the 
first of January and tending upward, has 
lost some of its strength. There was some 
increase in the accumulations of potatoes 
in the railroad yards, and although not 
sufficient to be regarded as heavy, the 
trading was so light that the market 
weakened. New York State round white 
potatoes, which were selling up to $3 
per 150-lb. sack, dropped to $2.65 to 
$2.75. and Maine Green Mountains de¬ 
clined a little also. This was not, how¬ 
ever. a local condition, the same general 
situation prevailing throughout the coun¬ 
try. As soon as potato prices in consum¬ 
ing markets had advanced a little, daily 
shipments practically doubled, conse¬ 
quently consuming markets and shipping 
points generally were soon reporting weak 
markets and declining prices, Late re¬ 
ports. "however, indicate that Middle 
Western markets are a little more steady. 
The sweet potato market has not been 
holding up well. Offerings were only mod¬ 
erate. but trading was dull and prices 
dropped 25 to 50c a basket last week, 
best New Jersey yellows selling at $1.75 
to $2 per %-bu. basket. Celery held fair¬ 
ly steady. Most of the offerings from 
New York State were only fair in qual¬ 
ity,’ as the season is now getting late, and 
such stock brought $2.50 to .$2.75 per 
two-third crate for Golden Self-blanching, 
sold in the rough. The Florida celery 
season is well started, 10-in. crates rang¬ 
ing from .$2 to $3. as to quality, and con¬ 
siderable California celery was also avail¬ 
able. The trend of the Philadelphia mar¬ 
ket on cabbage has been downward. A 
week ago offerings were very light and 
cabbage was selling around $10 a ton, but 
increased receipts of old as well as new 
cabbage caused a slower movement and 
lower prices, best New York Danish sell¬ 
ing after the decline at $30 to $35 a ton. 
Onions were steady to firm early in the 
week, but the market weakened later and 
$3 per 100-lb. sack was about top for 
large New York and good Indiana yellow 
onions. Mushrooms'were in good demand 
and prices advanced considerably, 3-lb. 
baskets ranging from 75c to $1.40. as to 
quality and size. Nearby root crops 
worked out with little change in prices. 
Cranberries were dull, poorly colored 
stock being almost impossible to move. 
The apple market was generally steady, 
but inclined to weakness under increased 
offerings and a light to moderate demand. 
New York Baldwin. A2%-in., sold around 
$3.50 a barrel, and Greenings $3.50 to 
$4.50 a barrel. Pennsylvania Stay man 
Winesaps were quoted at $4 to $4.25. and 
Jonathans $3.75 a barrel. Florida straw¬ 
berries are more plentiful, with prices 
ranging from 35 to 50c a quart, ansi to¬ 
matoes, beans, cucumbers; eggplant, let¬ 
tuce. citrus fruits and various other com¬ 
modities of a similar nature from Florida 
and California make up a good deal of 
the volume of the fruits and vegetables 
now in the market. 
EGGS AND POULTRY 
The recent increase in egg receipts was 
the principal reason for the 5c decline 
in the market, after which there was a 
fairly good demand at steady prices. 
Nearby and Western extra firsts sold 
chiefly at 42c- and firsts at 38c a dozen. 
Refrigerator eggs "continue to work out at 
a rather wide range in prices, best selling 
around 30c and poorer stock as low as 
23c a dozen. On Jan. 10 there were over 
42.700 cases of eggs on hand, compared 
with 29,316 cases a year ago. Statistics 
for the first 10 days in January show' 
that storage eggs have not been moving 
out as rapidly in Philadelphia and m 
some other cities as during a similar peri¬ 
od last year, which means the cold storage 
egg situation is not satisfactory to those 
still having eggs to dispose of. In a re¬ 
cent report issued by the L nited States 
Department of Agriculture it is shown 
that over 1,727,000 cases of eggs were re¬ 
ceived in Philadelphia via the common 
carriers during 1923. Receipts from Illi¬ 
nois were the heaviest, amounting to 312,- 
400 cases. Pennsylvania was second with 
174.462 cases. New York was credited 
with 35.000, and Virginia with 148.500 
cases. , . 
The demand for live poultry was only 
fair, and considerable quantities were 
very ordinary in quality, which were 
hard to sell, as receipts were more than 
sufficient to supply the needs of the trade. 
Fancy fat live fowl dropped off 2c per lb., 
selling at 27 to 28c late in the week, and 
White Leghorns ranged from 17 to 25c, 
as to quality. Some live fancy broilers 
sold up to 35c. and best Spring chickens 
were quoted at 24 to 25c per lb. Old 
roosters held steady at 16 to 18c, young 
staggy roosters bringing about 2c per lb. 
more. Live ducks sold on a firm market, 
prices advancing to 29 to 31c per lb. 
The dressed poultry market has been a 
firm one. choic-e fowl being kept pretty 
well cleaned up. Fresh-killed fowl. 5 lbs. 
or over, dry-picked, barreled-paeked. ad¬ 
vanced lc per lb. during the week, to 30c, 
lightweight stock selling as low as 17c. 
Fresh-killed chickens were steadily held 
at 27 to 31c per lb. for heavy nearby 
stock and fresli-killed turkeys, fancy near¬ 
by’s. ranged .33 to 35c per lb. Govern¬ 
ment revorts show that over 24.600.000 
lbs. of poultry were received in Phila¬ 
delphia in 1923, over 6.500.000 lbg. ar¬ 
riving during the month of December. 
HAY AND STRAW' 
nay has been selling well and market 
ruled firm on desirable grades. No. 1 
Timothy sold generally at $29 a ton, No. 
2 Timothy and No. 1 light clover mixed 
at $28 a ton. Rye straw was steadily 
held at $21.50, and wheat and oat straw 
at $18 a ton for No. 1, and $16.50 for 
No. 2 grade. b. w. s.
