N. Y. Produce Markets

Agriculture, Bureau of Markets.) 
The apple situation looks a little more 
encouraging this season than it did a year 
ago at this time. Eastern growers do not 
have an unusually large and well-distrib¬ 
uted crop, which was grown in the Pa¬ 
cific coast States last year, to contend 
with this season. In fact, the relatively 
light crop of Northwestern apples this 
season, and the proportionately lighter 
offerings in consuming centers have 
caused prices to rule about $1 a box high¬ 
er than prices in November, 1923, accord¬ 
ing to government reports. They also 
state that the percentage of the Western 
apple crop in storage on Nov. 1 was 
larger than last year, but the actual num¬ 
ber of boxes in storage was reported at 
6,400,000 boxes, compared with 6,886,000 
on Nov. 1, 1923. Barreled apple holdings 
were reported at 3,073,000 bbls., or about 
30 per cent less than a year ago, and con¬ 
siderably under the five-year average. 
New York has received a larger propor¬ 
tion of apple shipments, this season, than 
some of the other large markets, but 
many of these were for export, and dur¬ 
ing October over 500 carloads were ship¬ 
ped to New York for this purpose. Price 
changes have undergone very little change 
for several days. Western New York 
Baldwin, A2 1 / £-in., have been selling gen¬ 
erally $5 to $5.50 per bbl., fancy or poor 
stock selling outside of these figures. Ver¬ 
mont’s fancy McIntosh ranged from $8 
to $11 per bbl., and New York A grade 
Greening $5 to $7 per bbl. Busheled stock 
has been rather dull, but fancy barreled 
apples moved well at firm prices. Cold 
weather and the demand for the Thanks¬ 
giving trade has caused a stronger mar¬ 
ket on many commodities. Cranberries 
met a good demand and pears were in 
fair request when fancy. Cabbage grad¬ 
ually strengthened and the carrot market 
had a firmer tone. Good onions ruled 
firm, prices on best yellow stock ranging 
$1.75 to $2.25 per 100-lb. sack, an ad¬ 
vance of about 50c a sack since Nov. 1. 
A good deal of the cauliflower was caught 
by the cold weather and the limited of¬ 
ferings of the “free from frost” cauli¬ 
flower found a ready market. Celery was 
also on the upward trend, and the de¬ 
mand for spinach was stimulated by the 
cold snap. Turnips were slow, and near¬ 
by Ilubbard and Marrow squash held 
about steady. There has been some im¬ 
provement in the demand for white pota¬ 
toes, the cooler weather enabling buyers 
to anticipate their wants further ahead 
than has been the case for several weeks. 
It has been more difficult to transport 
potatoes safely, by ordinary freight, many 
of them arriving frosted, and this has 
tended to lighten the receipts. Long Is¬ 
land potatoes advanced from 25 to 50c 
per 180 lbs. during the week, while prices 
on Maine and New York State potatoes 
showed only a little gain. Sweet potatoes 
from New Jersey were steady to firm, 
while the Virginia season is about done 
and offerings showed a wide range in 
quality and condition. Receipts of Avarm 
weather vegetables have been light. Cu¬ 
cumbers and eggplant, Florida, were firm, 
and Lima beans were very scarce. Good 
ripe tomatoes from the Western coast 
found a ready market. 
EGGS AND POULTRY 
Receipts of fresh Western eggs were 
light, high quality stock was scarce, and 
prices advanced under the shortage. On 
the other hand, offerings of Pacific coast 
eggs were fairly liberal and there was 
some increase in the shipments of nearby 
eggs, which led to small accumulations in 
some stores and a decline in prices. The 
increased receipts of nearby eggs were 
chiefly medium and small sizes, with 
many mixed lots, the latter being difficult 
to move at prices at all satisfactory. Eggs 
of uniform size, whether small or large, 
sold much more readily than ungraded 
lots. Storage eggs were rather quiet. 
Holdings in New York on Nov. 24 were 
reported at 597,740 cases, compared with 
911,563 cases a year ago. 
lave fowl, both express and freight re¬ 
ceipts, were in good demand, but the of¬ 
ferings were heavy and prices were held 
fairly steady, leaving the market in good 
condition for the holiday trade. The de¬ 
mand was mostly for fancy heavy fowl, 
small stock moving slowly. Express live 
chickens were generally slow unless real 
broiler size, and Long Island Spring 
ducks were steady. The live turkey mar¬ 
ket strengthened a little. Dressed poul¬ 
try receipts were large, as is to be ex¬ 
pected just before Thanksgiving, for the 
week ending Nov. 22 amounting to 9,882,- 
396 lbs., compared with 5,205,745 lbs. for 
the previous week. This compares favor¬ 
ably with receipts for the same week a 
year ago. Dry-packed barreled chickens 
and Western boxed stock sold well, and 
fancy nearby chickens were also in de¬ 
mand. Fresh-killed fowl, however, were 
dull and weak, with' the possible excep¬ 
tion of very fancy stock. Receipts of 
Maryland and Virginia turkeys were 
light, the bulk of the offerings arriving 
from Texas and other Southwestern 
States, the season bing short in States 
further north, due to a late start in the 
Spring. The market was fairly active, 
with prices advancing a little, best Mary¬ 
land and nearby turkeys selling 45 to 50c 
per lb. on Nov. 24. 
HAY AND STRAAV 
The hay market has been a little quiet, 
although a little interest Avas noted for a 
day or two when supplies of some grades 
were getting a little low. More liberal 
offerings, hoAvever, caused an easier feel¬ 
ing. Most of the hay probably sold wdth- 
in the range of $21 to $24 a ton, although 
small bales were often draggy and would 
not always come Avithin the range quoted.
