STORED CABBAGE INTERESTING; DEPENDS 
ON SIZE AND CONDITION OF SOUTHERN 
CROP ; POTATO PRICES TEND TO RECOVER J 
ONIONS LOWER THAN A YEAR AGO ; 
APPLE SUPPLIES HEAVY. 
Of the half dozen leading truck crop 
products, the position of cabbage seems 
most interesting. More questions are 
being asked about cabbage than about the 
other stored crops. The sharp rise in 
December and the quiet decline in Jan¬ 
uary started Northern holders to study¬ 
ing whether they should hurry to market 
or wait. Southern growers also began to 
hope and worry, as the combined result 
of fluctuating markets and dangerous 
cold snaps. 
CABBAGE STOCKS MODERATE 
Here are the facts. About all the 
market cabbage usually left at this time 
of the year is in Ne»v York and Wiscon¬ 
sin. These States had a medium crop, 
about one-fourth less than last season, 
but more than for the season before. 
Present prices at $25 to *45 per ton in 
the cities are also about mi tway between 
the range of $20 to $20 a year ago, and 
$40 to $50 two years ago. This medium 
price position is about what would be 
expected from the medium size of the 
crop. Some of the conditions favor a rise. 
The high price in Western markets indi¬ 
cates a shortage there. The demand is 
good everywhere, because of prosperity in 
the cities. The quantity in storage is not 
known but may be less than supposed 
because so much Danish-seed cabbage this 
season was too loose and light for long 
storage. The quantity must be less than 
last season because the crop is one-fourth 
less, while about as much has been 
shipped as last season, so far.. There 
must be far less than in 1923 remaining 
to be shipped. About 3,000 cars were 
shipped from New York and Wisconsin 
after January 15 to the end of the sea¬ 
son last year, and about 1,900 during 
the corresponding time ir 1922. If there 
are, say, 2,500 cars to come this season, 
the price ought to hold and might even 
advance if the Southern crop should prove 
disappointing. Southern shipments have 
started heavy, and acreage is larger than 
last season. Apparently nothing but ex¬ 
tremely cold weather will prevent a heavy 
output Tom Texas and Florida. 
Altogether the present price of old cab¬ 
bage seems about fair as conditions stand. 
The future depends upon how the South¬ 
ern crops turns out. Southern cabbage 
sells in the North at the rate of $50 to $80 
per ton. This is double the price of old 
cabbage, but it includes crates and iong 
distance freight. The general yield is 
only about half to two-thirds that of a 
good crop of Nor.nern cabbfige, because 
small varieties are grown for the Southern 
crop and there is greater, damage from 
freezing drought, and disease in the 
South, 
SOUTHERN GROWERS WORRY 
So far, the earliest Southern cabbage 
and onion crops seems to have escaped 
freezing. The cabbage acreage is large 
in Florida and Texas, the two States 
which compete with the old cabbage re¬ 
gion in February and March. Last 
Spring the unexpected lateness and short¬ 
age in these two States caused a vigorous 
boom in stored cabbage, although it came 
too late to mean much to growers. Re¬ 
cent freezing of lettuce in South Carolina 
will be of some interest to growers of 
'Spring lettuce under glass. 
The potato market acts rather well. 
Prices tend to recover whenever ship¬ 
ments fall away. The weather this Win¬ 
ter favors continued active movement of 
the crop. Demand continues good. City 
prices are around $2 per 100 lbs., and 
country prices from $1 in the far West 
to $1.40 basis in Maine and Western 
New York State. 
Onions are selling lower than a year 
ago, although the crop is less. Imported 
Spanish onions in abundance may be the 
explanation or the prospect of more 
onions from Texas this Spring as com¬ 
pared with last season, or perhaps, as 
holders like to believe, the price of onions 
is too low and will go up soon. 
PUSHING APPLE KXPORTS 
Apples are still draggy and dull as 
might be expected, with shipments heavy 
and tremendous stocks in cold storage. 
The exporters are doing their best. Even 
Germany is buying American apples quite 
liberally this season, hut as usual the 
British Isles take about three-fourths of 
the exports, although they reshipped a 
good many to the Mainland of Europe, 
and even some to South America. The 
next best customers for American apples 
are Canada. Norway. Mexico, South 
America. It seems likely that consid¬ 
erably more than the usual 5 per cent of 
the whole commercial apple crop will he 
exported this season. Perhaps by spe¬ 
cial effort the proportion may be in¬ 
creased considerably. Most of the push¬ 
ing of sales in foreign markets is done 
by the Western boxed apple interests.
