Review  of  the  Philadelphia  Produce 
Market 
{Supplied  by  New  Jersey  State  Department  of 
Agriculture,  Bureau  of  Markets) 
Cold  weather  affected  the  trading  in 
fruits  and  vegetables,  and  with  fairly 
liberal  supplies  of  most  commodities,  mar¬ 
ket  conditions  in  general  were  not  vei'y 
satisfactory.  Fancy  red  apples  were  per¬ 
haps  an  exception,  selling  on  a  stronger 
market  at  $4.75  to  $5  a  barrel  for  A 2y2- 
in.  Baldwins  and  fancy  2^-in.  Yorks. 
Delaware  3-in.  fancy  Staymans  moved  at 
$1.75;  ordinary,  $1.40  per  bu.  hamper. 
More  strawberries  than  usual  are  coming 
from  Florida,  the  shipments  being  larger 
this  season,  due  to  increased  acreage, 
the  best  strawberries  wholesaling  in  Phil¬ 
adelphia  at  35c  to  40c  a  quart.  Cran¬ 
berries  were  exceedingly  dull  at  $3  to  $5 
per  lA-bbl.  box,  a  contrast  to  last  year 
when  they  moved  well  all  Winter  long. 
Plenty  of  Delaware  and  New  Jersey  sweet 
potatoes  are  coming  in,  which  sold  slowly 
on  a  weak  market,  Delaware  at  40e  to 
00c  a  bushel  hamper.  Although  offerings 
of  white  potatoes  have  been  moderate, 
the  movement  has  been  limited  and  the 
market  dull  with  prices  averaging  low, 
New  York  round  whites  ranging  $1.90  to 
to  $2.10  per  150-lb.  sack,  Michigan 
$1.90  a  sack.  Most  of  the  Pennsylvania 
potatoes  are  sold  in  bulk,  poorly  graded 
stock  bringing  $1.25  to  $1.35  cwt.,  some 
well  graded  $1.50  to  $1.60,  with  little 
strictly  fancy  bringing  a  premium.  New 
Jersey  Suburbans  were  slow  at  $1.40  to 
$1  .50  per  120-lb.  sack.  There  seems  to 
be  very  little  prospect  of  the  potato  mar¬ 
ket  showing  any  material  improvement 
before  the  end  of  the  season,  excepting 
for  temporary  fluctuations,  which  may 
happen,  due  to  unfavorable  weather  con¬ 
ditions  for  shipments.  Although  Penn¬ 
sylvania  and  New  York  States  are  re¬ 
ported  to  have  only  an  average  amount 
on  hand,  and  Maine  less  than  usual,  the 
West  has  a  big  surplus.  Any  material 
advance  in  our  Eastern  markets  will 
cause  increased  shipments  from  Wiscon¬ 
sin,  Michigan,  Minnesota  and  from 
States  even  farther  west,  where  prices 
have  been  very  low,  some  growers  in  the 
Rocky  Mountain  region  getting  only  15c 
a  bushel.  The  movement  on  carrots  and 
beets  was  slow ;  in  fact,  hardly  a  moder¬ 
ate  amount  of  interest  was  shown  in 
nearby  root  crops.  Old  cabbage  fluctu¬ 
ated  somewhat,  but  closed  on  the  5th  at 
$30  to  $35  a  ton  for  best  New  York 
Danish,  while  Southern  cabbage  sold  at 
$2.75  to  $3  per  ^-bbl.  hamper  for  best 
stock.  York  State  onions  were  in  mod¬ 
erate  demand  at  $2.50  to  $2.75  per  100-lb. 
sack,  with  Michigans  topping  the  market 
at  $3  a  sack. 
EGG 8  AND  POULTRY 
Receipts  of  fresh  eggs  were  about  nor¬ 
mal  for  the  season,  amounting  approxi¬ 
mately  to  24.000  cases  per  week,  the  sup¬ 
ply  being  adequate  to  meet  the  demands 
of  the  trade.  About  the  first  of  February 
there  was  a  drop  of  2c  a  dozen  on  near¬ 
by  extra  firsts,  due  largely  to  a  light  de¬ 
mand.  After  the  drop  the  market  held 
about  steady  until  the  last  of  the  week, 
when  there  was  a  little  firmness  reported, 
likely  due  to  reports  of  cold  weather  in 
the  Western  States,  where  extra  firsts 
advanced  lc  to  30c  a  dozen.  The  market 
on  nearbys  held  about  steady  at  38c  to 
38V>e  a  dozen  for  best  grade  of  eggs. 
With  the  exception  of  a  few  odd  lots, 
there  were  practically  no  eggs  put  into 
cold  storage,  and  only  about  15,600  cases 
of  cold  storage  eggs  were  reported  to  be 
on  hand  on  Fbruary  5. 
The  demand  for  live  poultry  has  been 
fairly  good,  especially  for  Spring  chick¬ 
ens.  Fancy  fowl,  colored,  also  sold  well, 
prices  advancing  during  the  week  2c  a 
pound,  selling  on  the  5th  at  29c  to  30c, 
while  Leghorns  brought  24c  to  26c,  ac¬ 
cording  to  quality.  Fancy  Plymouth 
Rock  chickens  brought  as  high  as  27c, 
while  mixed  colors  averaged  a  cent  a 
pound  less,  and  staggy  young  roosters 
sold  at  17c  to  18c  a  pound.  Receipts  of 
dressed  poultry  in  Philadelphia  for  the 
week  ending  February  3  were  not  quite 
as  heavy  as  for  the  same  week  a  year 
ago,  but  the  total  receipts  for  the  week 
for  New  York,  Boston,  Philadelphia  and 
Chicago  continue  to  be  nearly  twice  as 
large  as  those  of  the  same  period  in 
1922.  With  the  exception  of  fowl,  which 
declined  lc  a  pound,  prices  were  steadily 
held  under  moderate  demand.  Fresh- 
killed  chickens,  dry  picked,  weighing  five 
pounds  and  over,  both  nearby  and  West- 
tern  box-packed,  sold  at  31c  to  32c  a 
pound.  Fresh-killed  fowl  were  quoted  at 
30c  after  the  decline,  and  Western  capons 
weighing  about  nine  pounds  at  39c  a 
ponud. 
HAY  AND  STRAW 
Buyers  seemed  to  be  looking  for  the 
better  grades  of  hay,  the  supplies  of 
which  were  light  and  prices  on  such  were 
easily  maintained.  No.  1  Timothy  ad¬ 
vanced  to  $23  a  ton.  and  No.  1  light 
clover  mixed  sold  at  $20  a  ton,  but  the 
market  on  medium  and  lower  grades  was 
dull  and  weak.  No.  1  rye  straw  held  firm 
at  $23  to  $23.50.  and  No.  1  wheat  sold 
at  $14  to  $14.50  a  ton.  b.  w.  s.

t  New 
Countrywide  Produce  Situation 
CONDITIONS  SLIGHTLY  IMPROVED  - —  CITY 
WORKERS  PROSPEROUS - CABBAGE  PRICES 
HOLD - LIBERAL  STOCK  OP  POTATOES. 
A  better  feeling  prevails  as  compared 
with  a  few  months  ago,  according  to  let¬ 
ters  at  hand  written  from  20  of  the  lead¬ 
ing  agricultural  States.  The  bluest  regions 
are  those  which  depend  largely  on  pota¬ 
toes,  especially  Northern  Maine,  where  all 
the  cash  crops  were  light  this  season  and 
prices  low.  The  West  is  equally  dis¬ 
gusted  with  the  potato  outcome,  but  has 
taken  in  money  for  grain  and  live  stock 
and  recently  for  hay.  Prices  of  farm 
land  have  been  cut  in  half  in  some  parts 
of  the  Central  West  since  the  top  of  the 
land  boom  three  years  ago.  In  farming 
sections  where  prices  had  never  advanced 
so  much,  the  decline  has  been  less, 
amounting  to  about  20  to  25  per  cent,  so 
far  as  can  be  judged  from  scattering  re¬ 
ports. 
FARMERS  WILL  GO  AnEAD 
It  appears  that  farmers  will  go  ahead 
about  as  usual,  but  it  is  clear  they  intend 
to  plant  less  of  at  least  one  crop,  potatoes, 
and  more  of  cotton  and  probably  of  grain. 
Dairy  farmers  are  just  jogging  along. 
Poultry  products  have  been  one  of  the 
best-paying  side  lines.  Many  Southern 
farmers  are  getting  over  the  cotton  weevil 
scare.  They  have  concluded  they  can 
raise  cotton  if  it  is  to  sell  at  20  cents  or 
more.  The  scare  persists  in  the  regions 
just  being  reached  by  the  weevil  in  its 
march  North  and  East.  Georgia  farm  la¬ 
borers  are  said  to  be  leaving  by  the  train¬ 
load. 
BUGS  NEVER  WIN 
The  first  appearance  of  a  new  pest  al¬ 
ways  starts  a  panic.  When  the  potato 
beetle  reached  the  East,  40  years  ago, 
some  growers  went  out  of  business.  In 
the  early  days  of  the  canker  worm 
some  orchards  were  given  up.  Later  the 
appearance  of  the  San  Jose  scale  pre¬ 
vented  many  would-be  orchardists  from 
planting  trees.  No  so  many  years  ago 
garden  peas  were  destroyed  by  plant  lice 
in  some  regions,  and  gardeners  were  afraid 
to  raise  peas  for  a  year  or  two  afterwards. 
In  the  early  days  of  the  gypsy  moth  some 
orophcts  predicted  a  clean  sweep  o*f  every 
green  thing.  But  landowners  learned  to 
fight  off  these  pests  in  one  way  or  another 
and  they  have  ceased  to  worry  much 
about  them.  No  bug  has  ever  yet  di-iven 
the  farmers  out  of  a  crop  for  any  great 
length  of  time.  Most  likely  the  boldest  of 
these  Georgia  farmers  will  soon  be  plant¬ 
ing  more  cotton  than  ever,  and  buying  as 
much  arsenite  of  lime  as  the  Northerners 
do  of  arsenate  of  lead  and  pans  green. 
MONEY  TO  SPEND 
The  condition  of  city  workers  during 
the  past  few  months  has  been  better  than 
that  of  the  average  farmer.  Wages  are 
up  in  the  air,  especially  in  the  trades 
connected  with  building.  Prices  of  75c 
to  $1.25  per  hour  are  the  regular  thing, 
and  reports  are  heard  of  tremendous 
wages  here  and  there.  Many  farmers  are 
living  in  houses  which  were  built  100 
years  ago  at  75c  to  $1.25  per  10-hour 
day.  It’s  a  puzzle  where  the  money  conies 
from  to  pay  high  prices  for  so  many 
years.  It  is  supposed  to  come  from  the 
farmers  in  the  first  place,  but  it  is  doubt¬ 
ful  if  the  average  “farm  operator,”  as  the 
census  calls  him,  has  earned  a  dollar  a 
day  the  past  two  years.  After  allowing 
for  his  costs,  interest.,  etc.,  on  a  business 
basis,  the  question  is  how  long  the  big 
wages  will  continue  for  railroadmen,  min¬ 
ers.  steel  workers,  carpenters  and  the  like 
without  a  corresponding  advance  in  the 
farmer’s  income.  Europe  fairly  poured 
money  into  this  country  during  the  war, 
and  our  own  Government  broadcasted  lib¬ 
erally  the  proceeds  of  the  bond  sales.  But 
in  time  the  rest  of  the  workers  must  live 
on  what  the  farmers  raise  and  spend. 
The  wonder  is  that  such  one-sided  con¬ 
ditions  have  held  so  long.  During  the 
past  year  the  prices  of  farm  products  have 
caught  up  with  other  prices  to  a  slight 
extent,  but  still  the  farmer’s  dollar  buys 
only  about  two-thirds  as  much  as  before 
the  war. 
The  cabbage  boom  is  holding.  Other 
vegetables,  also  apples,  weakened  a  little 
toward  the  middle  of  the  month.  The 
trouble  with  anions  is  the  rather  heavv 
imports  from  Spain.  Apples  have  felt  the 
effects  of  the  heavy  stocks  still  in  cold 
storage,  but  the  apple  market  has  acted 
better  than  almost  anything  else,  consid¬ 
ering  the  size  of  the  crop. 
THE  TROUBLE  WITH  POTATOES 
Evervbody  knows  what’s  wrong  with 
potatoes;  a  record-breaking  crop  and 
more  of  them  still  on  hand  than  ever  be¬ 
fore.  according  to  the  figures  in  a  recent 
official  report.  Over  four-fifths  of  the 
present  supply  is  in  the  hands  of  grow¬ 
ers.  The  dealers  did  very  little  speculat¬ 
ing  this  year.  The  price  is  about  one-half 
that  of  a  year  ago.  which  seemed  pretty 
low  at  the  time.  Conditions  look  rather 
hopeless  in  the  West,  but  somewhat  bet¬ 
ter  in  the  East,  because  the  Eastern 
stocks  are  not  especially  large,  and  East 
ern  markets  have  been  acting  better  than 
Western. 
Wheat  and  cotton  have  tended  upward : 
dairy  and  poultry  products  downward. 
I6*o  stock,  except  hogs,  has  inclined 
slightly  lower.  Feeds  are  about  steady, 
with  cottonseed  meal  $41  at  Southern 
s  and 
shipping  points,  and  bran  $20  in  the 
West,  while  hay  sells  fairly  well  around 
$25  in  Eastern  cities.  G.  B.  F.

The  decline  in  butter  and  the  low  price

allect;  the  trade  very  much.  Strawber¬ 
ries^  are  about  as  low  as  they  ever  are 
in  February.
