Review  of  New  York  Produce  Market 
(Supplied  by  New  Jersey  State  Department  of 
Agriculture,  Bureau  of  Markets) 
During  the  severe  weather  about  the 
first  of  the  month  when  it  was  difficult  to 
move  perishables,  there  were  some  ad¬ 
vances  made  in  the  apple  market,  and 
by  the  8th.  best  B.  I.  Greenings  were  sell¬ 
ing  $5.25  to  $5.50,  occasionally  $6  being 
reached  for  fancy  stock.  Curlot  receipts 
last  week,  however,  showed  considerable 
increase,  and  prices  declined  a  little  on 
average  offerings,  fancy  apples  holding 
about  steady.  Although  the  total  receipt# 
of  cabbage  for  the  week  were  a  little 
about  steady.  Although  the  total  receipts 
continue  light  and  the  market  on  old 
cabbage  was  steady  to  firm.  New  cab¬ 
bage  sold  well.  Florida  growers  shipped 
to  the  New  York  market  about  30  car¬ 
loads  of  new  cabbage  for  the  week  ending 
March  10,  and  about  the  same  amount 
was  imported  from  Holland.  Plenty  of 
sweet  potatoes  are  coming  in,  mostly 
from  New  Jersey,  and  the  market  shows 
no  improvement.  Current  reports  indi¬ 
cate  that  there  are  a  large  number  of 
sweet  potatoes  in  storage  yet  to  be  mar¬ 
keted,  and  there  seems  to  be  little  pros¬ 
pect  of  an  immediate  improvement  in  the 
marker.  Old  carrots  were  in  light  de¬ 
mand  and  market  dull.  Weather  condi¬ 
tions  also  affected  the  shipment  of  po¬ 
tatoes,  and  a  material  advance  in  prices 
was  made  the  first  of  the  month.  Last 
week  shipments  throughout  the  country 
increased,  and  offerings  in  tin1  New  York 
market  were  again  heavy  by  the  12th,  and 
the  market  dull,  but  there  was  no  impor¬ 
tant  change  in  prices  on  good  stock.  Long 
Island  potatoes  are  about  cleaned  up, 
according  to  reports,  and  latest  f.  o.  b. 
^prices  in  Maine  indicate  a  firm  market  in 
'that  region.  llaulings,  however,  wore 
necessarily  moderate,  as  roads  in  many 
producing  sections  have  been  in  bad 
shape.  The  Florida  crop  has  been  de¬ 
layed  on  account  of  cold  weather,  and 
this  will  give  the  growers  holding  old 
potatoes  a  week  or  two  more  before 
coming  into  competition  with  the  new 
crop  potatoes.  The  new  crop  of  Texas 
onions  are  also  about  ready  for  shipment, 
the  acreage  being  about  the  same  as  a 
year  ago.  The  New  York  onion  market 
has  been  in  good  shape,  the  better  grades 
of  domestic  stock  selling  fairly  well  on  a 
firm  market.  Receipts  of  kale  from  Vir¬ 
ginia  increased  and  the  market  weakened. 
Spinach  was  generally  steady.  The  first 
shipments  of  California  asparagus  to  be 
received  this  season  brought  around  $50 
per  dozen  bunches,  and  toward  the  last 
of  the  week  a  little  Georgia  asparagus 
made  its  initial  appearance  of  the  season. 
EGGS  AND  POULTRY 
Difficulty  of  transportation  incident  to 
severe  weather  conditions  tended  to  hold 
back  shipments,  and  the  increase  in  re¬ 
ceipts  was  not  as  heavy  as  might  be  ex¬ 
pected.  However,  there  were  gradual  in¬ 
creases  and  the  market  in  general  worked 
downward,  fresh-gathered  extras  drop¬ 
ping  from  40-41  c  on  the  8tli  to  about  <>3c 
oil  the  13th  of  March.  A  general  increase 
is  looked  for  in  egg  production  this  year, 
but  no  great  amounts  are  expected  to  go 
into  storage  before  April.  Practically  no 
eggs  were  put  into  storage  last  week,  and 
the  amount  on  hand  left  over  troin  last 
season  is  negligible.  Nearby  white  eggs 
held  up  longer  than  the  general  market, 
as  thev  were  kept  pretty  well  cleaned  up 
until  the  10th.  when  the  nearby  eggs  also 
dropped  in  price.  There  was  a  shortage 
of  fancy  brown  eggs,  and  for  several  days 
finest  brown  eggs  sold  at  the  same  prices 
as  fancy  whites,  an  unusual  situation  in 
the  New  York  market. 
Interest  in  live  poultry  is  now  centered 
in  fat.  heavy  fowl,  an  annual  occurence 
with  the  approaching  of  the  important 
Jewish  holiday,  the  Passover.  Fat  ducks, 
geese  and  turkeys  are  also  wanted  at  this 
time,  the  best  marketing  days  being 
March  20  to  28  and  April  7  and  8.  Re¬ 
ceipts  of  live  poultry  have  been  unusually 
heavy,  and  the  general  situation  has  not 
been'  entirely  satisfactory..  Light-weight 
fowl  were  sold  on  a  weak  market,  and 
chickens,  which  were  mostly  coarse  and 
staggy.  were  draggy.  Not  many  fowl  were 
received  by  express,  and  express  chickens 
were  slow.  Express  Spring  broilers  are 
attracting  some  attention,  the  season  hav¬ 
ing  just  opened.  The  opening  prices  were 
mostly  around  S5c  lb.,  with  prices  rang¬ 
ing  70c  to  80c  the  last,  of  the  week,  but 
movement  has  been  limited  at  the  high 
prices.  Small  broilers,  especially,  sold 
slowly.  There  has  been  very  little  change 
in  the  dressed  poultry  market  for  a  week 
or  more.  Chickens  were  generally  slow 
and  fowls  draggy.  Receipts  of  dressed 
poultry  to  March  12  since  the  first  of  the 
year  were  over  37,400.000  lbs.,  compared 
with  20.200.000  a  year  ago.  according  to 
Government  reports,  and  cold-storage 
ho'd’nvs  in  excess  of  last  year  were  over 
18.000  0(H)  lbs.  on  March  12.  according 
to  the  same  authority. 
HAY  AND  STRAW 
The  scarcity  of  hay.  which  was  reported 
several  days  ago.  was  relieved  by  in¬ 
creased  receipts  the  latter  part  of  the 
wpek,  and  prices  on  good  stock  declined 
about  $2  a  ton.  Buyers  seem  to  be  pur¬ 
chasing  for  immediate  needs  only,  and 
new  invoices  are  increasing.  Rye  straw 
was  als<  a  life  easier.  B.  w.  s.

The  British  Government  is  advancing 
the  use  of  airplanes  for  mail  carrying. 
The  Bagdad-Cairo  air  service  now  makes 
it  possible  for  letters  from  Bagdad  to 
reach  London  in  10  to  12  days,  instead  of 
four  to  five  weeks  formerly.  Plans  are 
now  beimr  considered  for  a  six-day  air 
service  between  London  and  Australia. 
The  route  would  cover  10.000  miles  with¬ 
out  any  stop  on  non-British  territory.
