Review  of  Philadelphia  Produce  Market 
(.Supplied  by  New  Jersey  State  Department  of 
Agriculture,  Bureau  of  Markets) 
The  Philadelphia  apple  market  held 
about  steady,  although  values  in  Baldwins 
seemed  to  have  strengthened  a  little, 
A2^-in.  selling  around  $5.75  a  bafrel ; 
Xew  York,  A2%-in.  Greenings,  $6,  and 
Ben  Davis  from  Maryland  and  Virginia, 
$4  to  $4.50  a  barrel,  as  to  size  and  con¬ 
dition.  In  bushel  hampers  Greenings 
and  Baldwins  sold  up  to  $1.50  on  the 
10th.  and  Stayma,ns  brought  5c  more. 
The  tone  on  Baldwins  seemed  to  be  a 
little 'stronger  last  week  in  shipping  sec¬ 
tions  as  well,  but  the  movement  was  lim- 
ited.  The  season  for  old  cabbage  is  nearly 
over  and  the  peak  of  high  prices  for  old 
stock  has  evidently  been  reached  for  this 
season.  The  trend  lately  has  been  down¬ 
ward,  prices  dropping  $20  a  ton  since  the 
lirst  week  in  March,  the  best  selling  on 
the  19th  mostly  at  $35  to  $45  a  ton.  The 
onion  market  showed  a  little  strength, 
and  on  the  20th  No.  1  Miehigans,  yellow 
onions,  sold  at  $4  per  100-lb.  sack,  while 
New  \rork  States  brought  $3.25  to  $3.35 
a  sack,  as  the  offerings  were  only  of  fair 
quality.  The  frost  damage  in  Texas  de¬ 
layed  the  onion  movement  from  that 
section  about  two  weeks,  and  this  has 
given  the  Northern  shippers  a  better  op¬ 
portunity  to  dispose  of  their  old  crop 
onions.  They  have  been  taking  advan¬ 
tage  of  this  opportunity,  as  storage  onions 
have  moved  rather  rapidly  of  late  and 
supplies  are  getting  comparatively  low. 
The  movement  on  new  onions  is  expected 
from  Texas  about  April  1.  There  was 
no  particular  excitement  on  the  Philadel¬ 
phia  potato  market.  The  market  was 
gepetally  steady  under  a  moderate  sup¬ 
ply  and  demand,  with  a  tendency  up¬ 
ward.  New  York  State  round  .whites 
and  fairly  well-graded  Pennsylvanias  sold 
mostly  around  $2.60  per  150-lb.  sack. 
New-crop  potatoes  from  Florida  will  be 
on  the  market  soon,  a  few  already  having 
reached  the  New  York  market.  Sweet 
potatoes  showed  no  improvement,  the 
market  continuing  dull  and  slow.  Spin¬ 
ach  and  lettuce  were  plentiful  from  the 
warmer  sections  of  the  country,  and  mod¬ 
erate  amounts  of  celery  were  received. 
South  Carolina,  Georgia  and  California 
have  begun  to  ship  asparagus,  that  from 
Georgia  selling  at  $<  to  $18  a  dozen 
bunches.  Nearby  root  crops  from  storage 
are  moving  slowly,  as  new.-crop  beets, 
carrots, -etc.,  are  coming  in  in  good  quan¬ 
tities  from  the  South. 
EGGS  AND  POULTRY 
About  March  1  nearby  eggs  were  sell¬ 
ing  close  to  40c  a  dozen,  but  the  expected 
increase  in  receipts  materialized  and 
prices  dropped  until  about  the  middle  of 
the  month,  29c  being  the  price  received 
for  nearby  and  Western  extras.  There 
were  further  weaknesses  last  week,  but 
toward  the  Close  offerings  were  pretty 
well  cleaned  up,  the  loss  regained,  and 
on  the  19th  29c  was  again  the  prevailing 
price  of  best  eggs.  The  storage  of  eggs 
began  earlier  last  year  than  this.  Ac¬ 
cording  to  Government  reports.  Philadel¬ 
phia  warehouses  had  only  252  cases  on 
hand  March  19  ;  200  cases  of  those  being 
put  in  on  that  date.  A  year  ago  there 
were  approximately  9.000  cases  in  stor¬ 
age  on  the  same  date,  but  a  light  inward 
movement  before  April  1  does  not  neces¬ 
sarily  mean  that  storage  stocks  will  be 
small  this  season. 
At  this  season  of  the  year,  just  before 
the  important  Jewish  holiday,  the  Pass- 
over,  there  is  usually  a  good  demand  for 
live  fancy  fat  fowl,  ducks,  geese  and  tur¬ 
keys.  All  the  week  the  market  on  live 
poultry  has  been  firm,  and  toward  the 
last  fancy  fowl  advanced  to  30  to  31c  lb. 
Fancy  broilers  weighing  1%  lbs.  or  under 
held  steady  at  60  to  65c  lb:,  while  the 
large,  fancy  soft-meated  chickens  ranged 
28  to  31c  on  the  19th.  There  was  very 
little  change  in  the  dressed  poultry  mar¬ 
ket.  Offerings  were  moderate,  but  plenti¬ 
ful  for  the  demand.  Fresh-killed,  dry- 
picked.  heavy  fowl  held  steady  at  29c, 
and  heavy  nearby  chickens  sold  as  high 
at  32c  lb.  Turkeys  were  little  wanted. 
With  the  increase  in  the  amount  of  poul¬ 
try.  which  is  reported  to  be  on  the  farms, 
and  the  exceptionally  large  cold  storage 
holdings  on  hand,  the  problem  of  market¬ 
ing  the  frozen  poultry  without  financial 
loss  is  enough  to  cause  dealers  some  un¬ 
easiness.  In  Philadelphia  the  excess  over 
last  year  is  something  like  1.700.000  lbs., 
and  the  total  for  New  Y’ork.  Philadelphia. 
Boston  and  Chicago  exceeds  last  year’s 
holdings  on  March  19  by  about  20.000,000 
lbs.  However,  with  improved  industrial 
conditions  it  is  hoped  that  demand  will 
take  care  of  the  surplus  without  much 
difficulty. 
HAY  AND  STRAW 
The  hay  market  was  kept  pretty  well 
cleaned  up.  and  the  market  ruled  firm. 
No.  1  Timothy  sold  steadily  at  $23  a  ton. 
and  light  cloved  mixed  at  $21  to  $22  a 
ton.  There  was  no  change  in  the  market 
on  rye  straw  last  week,  $27  being  the 
prevailing  price  on  No.  1  stock,  while 
best  wheat  and  oat  straw  sold  at  $15  to 
$16  a  ton.  B.  W.  S.

“Can  your  boy  Josh  play  a  tune  on  his 
new  banjo?”  “I  don’t  want  him  to  waste 
his  time  playin’  tunes,”  replied  Farmer 
Corntossel.  “He’s  being  educated  for  a 
jazz  band.”— Washington  Star.
