The  RURAL  NEW-YORKER 
M 
a  r 
ket  News  and 
Review  of  New  York  Produce  Market 
(Supplied  by  New  Jersey  State  Department  of 
Agriculture,  Bureau  of  Markets) 
Potatoes  advanced  a  few  weeks  ago 
when  severe  weather  conditions  affected 
free  movements  from  producing  sections, 
and  the  market  during  the  past  week  has 
held  up  remarkably  well,  considering  the 
recent  liberal  receipts  in  the  New  York 
market  and  the  amount  of  potatoes  still 
in  reserve  in  the  country  as  a  whole. 
New  York  State  and  Maine  were  the 
largest  contributors,  shipping  134  and  180 
carloads,  respectively,  for  the  week  end¬ 
ing  March  24.  Stock  in  Maine  is  un¬ 
usually  low  for  this  time  of  year,  accord¬ 
ing  to  Government  reports,  and  Long 
Island,  which  contributed  about  80  car¬ 
loads  last  week,  is  gradually  cleaning  up. 
The  market  was  generally  firm  for  really 
good  stock,  but  on  ordinary  and  poor 
stock  the  market  was  a  little  weak.  Flor¬ 
ida  has  begun  shipping  the  new  crop,  the 
first  carload  arriving  last  week.  Re¬ 
ceipts  of  sweet  potatoes  have  not  been 
quite  as  heavy  th§  last  week  or  two,  and 
with  trading  a  little  more  active  prevail¬ 
ing  prices  average  a  little  higher.  The 
holdings  in  the  East  Atlantic  States  are 
heavy  for  the  season,  Government  reports 
for  March  1  indicating  that  storage 
stocks  were  two  and  one-half  times  as 
large  as  a  year  ago.  Fancy  apples  were 
steady  to  firm,  with  prices  advancing  a 
little' on  some  varieties,  A2%-inch  R.  I- 
Greenings  and  Baldwins  selling  on  the 
26th  at  $4.50  to  $5.50  a  barrel,  a  few 
fancy  Greenings  reaching  $6.  The  total 
reserves  of  barreled  and  boxed  apples  are 
reported  to  be  nearly  1,000,000  barrels 
above  the  five-year  average  holdings  for 
March  1.  The  boxed  holdings,  however, 
are  well  below  last  year.  Lettuce  lias 
been  coining  in  from  the  South  and  A\  est 
at  the  rate  of  about  200  carloads  weekly, 
and  prices  are  low.  The  cabbage  market 
has  been  weak,  especially  on  old  stock, 
and  prices  are  lower,  as  new  cabbage  has 
been  coming  in  from  Florida,  South  Caro¬ 
lina,  Texas  and  California,  and  imports 
from  Holland  amounted  to  67  carloads 
for  the  week.  Onions  have  been  a  little 
dull  lately,  and  not  much  interest  was 
shown  in  new  beets.  Supplies  of  Cali¬ 
fornia  asparagus  are  still  light,  and  tbe 
best  has  been  selling  around  $1<  per 
dozen  bunches.  Spinach  was  plentiful, 
and  there  jamre  limited  offerings  of  pep¬ 
pers.  peaj^Ama  beans  and  cucumbers 
from  warmer  States. 
EGGS  AND  POULTRY 
Just  before  Easter  there  is  usually  a 
demand  for  fancy  large  selected  eggs  and 
such  have  sold  well  at  comparatively  high 
prices  For  the  week  ending  March  24 
there  'were  283,525  cases  received  com¬ 
pared  with  208.794  cases  for  the  week 
previous,  showing  quite  an  increase  in 
shipments  last  week.  Total  receipts  since 
January  1  have  been  considerable  heavier 
been  a  pretty  good  demand  there  has 
been  some  accumulations,  but  were  mostly 
medium  and  lower  grade  eggs.  Movement 
into  storage  this  season  has  also  been 
much  lighter,  only  15,000  cases  being  on 
hand  on  March  24  compared  with  over 
85.000  cases  a  year  ago.  The  trade  lias 
been  making  some  complaints  regarding 
the  irregular  qualities  of  the  eggs  offered 
and  ordinary  stock  has  showed  a  wide 
rnnsre  in  values,  probably  the  bulk  or 
nearby  eggs  selling  at  from  30c  to  38c  a 
dozen!  only  nearby  fancy  selected  whites 
bringing  more.  ,  . 
The  live  poultry  market  was  irregular 
although  fancy  fat  colored  fowl  were ■in 
demand  as  is  usual  just  before  the  lass- 
over  holidays.  Very  few  live  chickens 
of  the  old  crop  were  to  be  had  and  they 
were  wanted  if  at.  all  attractive,  but  the 
.season  is  winding  up  and  most  of  them 
were  staggy.  A  few  Spring  broilers  were 
received  and  there  was  no  difficulty  in 
selling  them  at  good  prices.  Old  roosters 
were  very  dull  and  the  season  is  getting 
late  for  capons  and  but  few  were  received. 
Receipts  of  fresh  killed  poultry  were  not 
unite  as  heavy  last  week  and  with  the 
demand  showing  some  improvement,  the 
dressed  poultry  market  seemed  to  be  in 
better  shape.  Fowl  advanced  a  little,  but 
chickens,  although  selling  fairly,  gener¬ 
ally  brought  low  prices  as  they  were  more 
or 'less  staggy  or  poor.  Dressed  broilers 
are  now  beginning  to  arrive  from  various 
sections  of  the  country  and  values  were 
irregular.  On  the  26th  ordinary  to  poor 
stock  ranged  35-45c  a  pound,  some  of  the 
best  New  Jersey  stock  brought  around 
55c  and  some  far  Western  sold  at  even 
higher  prices.  Cold  storage  holdings  con- 
tinue  to  be  large,  the  New  York  storage 
houses  alone  containing  about  six  million 
pounds  more  than  last  year  at  this  tune. 
hay  and  straw' 
The  hay  market  has  been  very  irregu¬ 
lar  and  but  little  number  one  hay  has 
been  offered.  Receipts  of  other  grades 
were  liberal,  mostly  in  small  bales ;  trad¬ 
ing  was  only  fair  and  v’itli  terminals 
wTell  supplied  some  rather  lowT  prices  were 
reported.  New'  invoices,  however,  seem 
to  be  light.  Rve  straw  held  steady.
