Market  News  an  d  Prices 
Review  of  Philadelphia  Produce  Market 
(Supplied  by  New  Jersey  State  Department  of 
Agriculture,  Bureau  of  Markets) 
The  supply  of  barreled  apples  was  a 
moderate  one  and  a  steady  to  firm  mar¬ 
ket  prevailed.  New  York  A-2^j-in.  Bald¬ 
wins  advanced  to  $5.25  a  barrel,  and  best 
Greenings  average  25  to  50c  under  Bald¬ 
wins.  Pennsylvania  2%  -in.  Homes 
brought  $5.50  a  barrel,  and  there  was  a 
little  improvement  in  Delaware  Neros, 
which  sold  up  to  $1.50  per  bu.  hamper. 
The  upward  movement  in  prices  on  ap¬ 
ples  has  not  been  quite  as  marked  as  a 
year  ago,  due  largely  to  cold  storage  hold¬ 
ings.  According  to  government  reports, 
there  were,  on  February  1,  over  2, •'''00.000 
barrels  and  7,500,000  boxes,  or  a  total  of 
5,300.000  barrels,  in  cold  storage,  winch 
is  a  little  more  than  the  1021  holdings, 
and  about  25  per  cent  more  than  the 
amount  on  hand  last  year  on  the  same 
date.  New  York,  the  heaviest  barreled 
apple  State,  shipped  about  SO  per  cent  of 
the  250  carloads  of  barreled  -stock  mar¬ 
keted  during  the  week  ending  February 
20.  On  account  of  the  cold  weather  there 
were  several  days  when  there  was  prac¬ 
tically  no  demand  for  cabbage,  and  a  few 
days  when  there  were  hardly  enough  sales 
of  onions  and  sweet  potatoes  to  establish 
a  market.  However,  on  the  20th,  best 
New  York  Danish  cabbage  sold  around 
$40  a  ton,  with  indications  of  even  higher 
prices  being  received  later  in  the  week ; 
and  poor  stock  ranged  $25  to  $35  a  ton. 
This  is  an  advance  of  about  $20  since  the 
middle  of  December,  due  to  the  compara¬ 
tively  light  shipments,  those  from  the 
South  this  season  being  about  one-third 
as  large  as  last  year.  I*  aney 
onions  from  Ohio  brought  up  to  $2.00 
per  100-lb.  sack,  and  New  5  ork  States 
ranged  $2  to  $2.50  a  sack.  Sweet  pota¬ 
toes  from  New  Jersey  ranged  from  40  o 
75c,  the  price  depending  on  how  closely 
they  were  graded,  some  growers  making 
as  many  as  five  grades. _ Delaware  sweets 
moved  slowly  at  50  to  ooc  a  bushel  ham¬ 
per.  Some  of  the  Texas  and  A  lrgima 
spinach  was  frozen  upon  arrival,  and  the 
good  stock  sold  well  at  slightly  improved 
prices;  that  from  Texas  wholesaling  at 
$1  25  to  $1.50  per  bu.,  and  Norfolk  spin¬ 
ach  $2.50  to  $3  per  bbl.  for  the  best. 
Green  vegetables  and  fruits  from  the 
South  and  West  command  considerable 
attention  from  the  trade.  There  lias  been 
no  particular  change  in  the  potato  mar¬ 
ket  and  the  root  crops  from  nearby  were 
in  very  limited  demand. 
EGGS  AND  POULTRY 
Eggs  have  been  fluctuating  within  nar¬ 
row  limits  during  the  past  week.  On 
,  February  15  nearby  eggs  reached  40e  a 
dozen,  as  receipts  were  moderate  and  cold 
weather  in  producing  sections  caused  the 
trade  to  buy  a  little  more  heavily  than 
usual.  However,  more  liberal  receipts 
followed,  which  caused  a  slight  decline, 
as  the  trade  was  a  little  inditlerent  when 
stock  seemed  to  be  ample  to  meet  their 
needs.  Nearby  extra  firsts  sold  on  the 
19th  at  3914c  a  dozen,  and  Western  extra 
firsts  at  38y»c.  Cold  storage  holdings 
are  getting  low,  only  6.000  cases  reported 
as  being  on  hand  on  February  14,  ac¬ 
cording  to  government  reports. 
About  the  middle  of  February  receipts 
of  live  poultry  were  more  than  ample  tor 
the  needs  of  the  trade  and  prices  of  fowl 
eased  off  about  3c  a  pound,  after  which  a 
fairly  steady  market  prevailed.  Fancy 
colored  fowl  sold  up  to  29e  on  the  -Oth, 
while  Leghorns  brought  2o  to  -Sc  per 
lb.  Offerings  of  fancy  stock  have  not 
been  heavy  at  any  time,  but  trading  has 
also  been  light.  Fancy  fat  Plymouth 
Bock  chickens  were  steady  at  to  _»c 
„er  lb.,  while  fancy  broilers  brought  as 
high  as  40c  per  lb.  Receipts  of  dressed 
poultry  in  four  large  markets  of  the  coun¬ 
try  continued  to  be  on  a  liberal  scale 
compared  with  a  year  ago.  but  supplies 
an*  apparently  on  the  increase,  as  re¬ 
ceipts  were  not  as  heavy  Iasi  week  as  for 
several  previous  weeks.  lhe  limited 
amount  of  fancy  stock  offered  on  the 
Philadelphia  market  was  readily  ab¬ 
sorbed,  fresh-killed,  barrel-packed  fowl 
selling  at  31c  per  lb.  when  weighing  4% 
to  5  lbs  each.  Western  chickens  of  about 
the  same  weight  brought  28c.  while  near¬ 
by  chickens  sold  at  2S  to  32c  if  over  4 
ltis.  in  weight. 
hay  and  straw 
4U*st  grades  of  Timothy  lmy  were  kept 
well  cleaned  up  at  $23  a  ton.  but  the 
medium  and  lower  grades  of  hay.  which 
were  in  good  supply,  were  generally  omet. 
No  1  light  clover  mixed  sold  at  $20  a 
ton  and  best  medium  mixed  a  dollar 
lower  Rve  straw  was  scarce,  and  prices 
advanced  during  the  week  ending  Febru¬ 
ary  20  about  $2.50,  No.  4  straight  rye 
selling  $25  to  $26  per  ton.  R.  w.  S.
