Phila. Produce Markets 
(Supplied by New Jersey State Department of 
Agriculture, Bureau of Markets.) 
There was the usual good demand for 
fruits and vegetables for the Thanksgiv¬ 
ing trade, and some commodities, such as 
cranberries and celery, made small ad¬ 
vances in price. For a day or two after 
the holiday, however, trading was rather 
quiet. Then, too, the weather has been 
unusually cold for the time of year, neces¬ 
sitating the closing of the doors by the 
dealers to prevent freezing, and also the 
covering of what produce was exposed for 
sale on the sidewalks. Usually New Jer¬ 
sey lettuce growers located near salt wa¬ 
ter creeks in the southern part of the 
State market considerable quantities of 
lettuce up to and often including the first 
week in December, but 10 degrees of 
frost occurred about the middle of No¬ 
vember and there has been a recurrence 
of like temperature two or three times 
which has destroyed all unprotected pro¬ 
duce. Cold weather also tends to make 
the market late, and it hurts business for 
i he time being at least. Very little busi¬ 
ness is done on the street before 8 o’clock, 
although trading is well under way at the 
freight sheds before that hour. Fewer 
buyers are out during a cold snap, and 
those in the market do not care to “shop 
around” as freely as when doors are wide 
open, and when it is too cold hucksters 
are unable to peddle from door to door 
without danger of freezing their load of 
perishables. The demand for apples has 
been a slow one and prices changed very 
little, Virginia 2%-in. Stayman ranging 
$4 to $6.50 a barrel, as to quality, most 
sales hovering around $5.25 a barrel. Un¬ 
graded New York Greening sold for $4 to 
$4.50 a barrel, while Baldwin in bushel 
baskets sold for about $1. There was a 
.slight advance in the price of cranberries, 
New .Jersey half-barrel boxes ranging $6 
to $7 for the best stock. Beets held about 
steady at 60 to 80c per % bushel. Most 
of the Brussels sprouts now being re¬ 
ceived are a Long Island product, and 
during Thanksgiving week as high as 28c 
a quart was received, but the market has 
since weakened to a range of 15 to 18c a 
quart. Cabbage has also weakened con¬ 
siderably, New York Danish dropping $5 
or $6 a ton, selling recently at from $12 
to $17 a ton, bulk. Carrots held fairly 
steady at $1 to $1.25 a bushel. Celery 
was firm, with York State stock selling 
$2 to $3 per 2/3 crate. The Norfolk sec¬ 
tion of Virginia furnishes large quantities 
of greens until very late in the Fall and 
begin again early in the Spring. Spinach 
and kale seem particularly well adapted 
to this section, and some lettuce was be¬ 
ing shipped to Philadelphia around 
Thanksgiving time. Spinach has been 
selling around $3 a barrel, and kale for 
about .$1.50 a barrel. Onions continue 
firm, large fancy yellow Ohio bringing 
$2.65 a sack, with a general range for all 
sections of $2 to $2.50 a sack. Potatoes 
showed little change during the week, the 
market holding about steady at $1.75 per 
150-lb. sack for New Yoi'k round whites, 
and $1.90 a sack for Maine Green Moun¬ 
tain and Spaulding Rose. Pennsylvania 
potatoes topped the market at $1.90 to 
$2.25, some fancy bringing as much as 
$2.40 per 150-lb. sack. The Southern 
States are shipping quite a wide variety 
of warm weather vegetables, such as egg¬ 
plant, lettuce, peppers, white squash, 
string beans, tomatoes, etc., while Cali¬ 
fornia is forwarding Iceberg lettuce, to¬ 
matoes, rhubarb, celery and several other 
commodities. 
EGGS AND POULTRY 
Egg receipts for the last week in No¬ 
vember amounted to 13,800 eases, about 
the same as a year ago. The market has 
been kept, well cleaned up on fancy grades 
until quite recently, when a light demand 
was reported and the market was inclined 
to be weak, although no concessions in 
prices were made. Nearby and Western 
extra firsts ranged 64 to 65c a dozen, and 
firsts averaged about 59c. Refrigerator 
eggs were rather quiet at 41c for extra 
firsts. Philadelphia’s storage holdings 
amount to less than 100,000 cases, or 25,- 
000 cases less than a year ago at this 
time, while about a million and a half 
cases is the total reported on hand in the 
four large markets. New York, Philadel¬ 
phia, Boston and Chicago, compared with 
about two million cases a year ago. 
Offerings of live poultry were rather 
light and movement irregular, although 
fancy stock was generally kept well 
cleaned up. Prices changed very little 
during the week, heavy colored fowl aver¬ 
aging 27c, medium sizes selling 22 to 24c, 
while iWhite Leghorns and small fowl 
brought as low as 15c a pound. Heavy 
chickens sold for the same price as col¬ 
ored heavy fowl, also l 1 /* to 2-lb. broilers. 
Live turkeys declined 2c after the holi¬ 
days, ranging 33 to 38c a pound. Fancy 
fresh-killed turkeys w-ere scare just be¬ 
fore Thanks giving, and prices advanced 
to a range of 42 to 45c, with occasional 
lots doing a little better. There was 
plenty of ordinary to poor stock, and 
price ranges were wide. Reports from 
Texas shipping points gave a range of 20 
to 21c a pound live weight, as the price 
received by the turkey growers at the 
dressing sheds is equal to 30c a pound 
f. o. b. at shipping point when dressed. 
Heavy fowl worked out at 29 to 30c, 
small selling down to 19c. Nearby chick¬ 
ens weighing 4 lbs. or more sold up to 
35c, and broiler sizes were quoted 36 to 
3Sc. Nearby ducklings have advanced to 
29c a pound. 
HAY AND STRAW 
Fancy hay was in good demand and 
sold on a firm market, No. 2 Timothy 
selling $19 to $20 a ton, with No. 3 aver¬ 
aging about $18. No. 1 light clover 
mixed sold at $1 under No. 2 Timothy, 
and best heavy clover mixed worked out 
at $14 to $15 a ton. Rye straw weakened 
a little, No. 1 bringing $15 to $16, while 
wheat straw brought $14.50 and oat 
straw $13.50 a ton. b. w. s.
