Review  of  Philadelphia  Produce  Market 
(Supplied  by  New  Jersey  State  Department  of 
Agriculture,  Bureau  of  Markets) 
The  Philadelphia  market  has  been  well 
supplied  with  all  kinds  of  produce.  Green 
vegetables  from  Southern  States  espe¬ 
cially  made  a  good  display,  although  there 
was  considerable  stock  touched  by  frost 
while  in  transit  during  the  cold  snap  the 
last  of  March, throwing  considerable  poor 
stock  on  the  market.  Recent  heavy  move¬ 
ments  of  spinach  from  the  Norfolk  sec¬ 
tion  of  Virginia  played  havoc  with  the 
local  market,  best  spinach  declining  from 
$3  a  barrel  as  sold  on  March  27  to  $2,25 
for  South  Carolina,  and  $1.25  to  $1.75 
for  Norfolk  spinach  on  April  2.  Some 
kale  was  received,  selling  around  $2  a 
barrel,  and  there  seemed  to  be  plenty  of 
such  vegetables  as  string  beans,  celery, 
lettuce,  cauliflower,  etc.  Florida  tomato 
shipments  have  been  liberal  and  generally 
sold  well,  but  at  a  wide  range  in  prices, 
due  to  the  condition  of  the  stock  offered. 
Several  carloads  of  cucumbers  from  Flor¬ 
ida  were  received,  and  asparagus  is  ar¬ 
riving  more  freely  from  California, 
Georgia  and  South  Carolina.  Old  cab¬ 
bage  is  about  all  cleaned  up  after  a  very 
active  season.  The  carlot  output  for  the 
season  is  about  22  per  -cent  greater  than 
the  average  of  the  past  four  years,  ac¬ 
cording  to  Government  reports.  New 
York  State’s  share  of  the  output  amounte 
to  about  10,000  carloads,  or  approxif 
mately  800  more  than  last  year,  and  Wis¬ 
consin  shipped  about  double  the  output 
of  last  year’s  from  that  State.  During 
the  severe  weather  and  after  it  was  known 
a  light  crop  was  expected  in  the  South, 
old  cabbage  reached  $75  a  ton  on  the 
Philadelphia  market,  but  has  since  der 
dined,  most  of  the  stock  now  being  in 
poor  condition  and  selling  chiefly  from 
$10  to  $25  a  ton.  There  were  heavier 
shipments  of  cabbage  from  'States  now 
producing,  and  the  market  was  weak, 
best  Florida  stock  selling  on  April  2  at 
$2  to  $2.25  per  %-bbl.  hamper.  An 
abundance  of  old  potatoes  were  offered, 
and  the  demand  was  fairly  good  early  in 
the  week,  but  the  market  was  dull  and 
weak  later,  and  prices  averaged  lower. 
New  York  State  round  whites  ranging  on 
(he  2d  at  $2.50  to  $2.85  per  150-lb.  sack, 
and  Maine  Green  Mountains,  L.  S..  No.  1. 
$ld>0  to  $2.10  ner  cwt  Onions  were 
dull,  best  Western  yellow  varieties  sell¬ 
ing  at  $3.75  to  $4  per  100-lb.  sack.  Texas 
onion  shipments  to  date  have  been  much 
lighter  than  last  year,  as  the  season  was 
retarded  by  cold  weather,  some  ordinary 
quality  yellow  Bermudas  from  Texas  sell¬ 
ing  at  $2.50  per  bu.  crate.  Sweet  nota- 
toes  continue  to  be  dull,  and  apples  held 
about  steady,  New  York  Baldwins,  A2%- 
in.  selling  at  $5.25  to  $5.50,  and  A2%-in. 
Greenings,  $5  to  $6  per  bbl. 
EGGS  AND  POULTRY 
The  egg  market  has  been  fluctuating 
within  narrow  limits,  but  averaged  last 
week  about  27c  a  dozen  on  nearby  extra 
firsts,  best  Western  selling  about  lc  under 
this  price.  Offerings  were  liberal,  Gov¬ 
ernment  reports  showing  an  increase  in 
receipts  of  about  20,000  cases  for  the 
week  over  the  previous  seven  trading 
days.  The  storage  season  is  starting  late 
this  year,  and  the  movement  into  storage 
has  been  light,  not  only  in  Philadelphia 
which  on  April  2  had  only  4,000  cases  on 
hand,  compared  with  over  00,000  cases 
a  year  ago.  but  in  the  other  big  consum¬ 
ing  markets  as  well.  New  York  has  less 
than  one-half.  Boston  about  one-fourth, 
and  Chicago  considerably  less  than  one- 
fourth  of  the  amount  on  hand  a  year  ago. 
However,  a  big  production  is  expected  this 
season,  when  suitable  weather  prevails 
and  as  soon  as  the  market  gets  specula¬ 
tive  support  eggs  will  undoubtedly  move 
into  storage  much  more  rapidly  than  they 
have  been.  During  the  month  of  .March 
nearlv  180.000  cases  of  eggs  were  shipped 
to  Philadelphia  through  the  transporta¬ 
tion  companies,  over  23,000  cases  origi¬ 
nating  in  Pennsylvania,  about  18.000 
cases  each  in  Virginia,  Illinois  and  Kan¬ 
sas  and  over  11.000  cases  came  from 
Maryland,  Missouri  and  Nebraska.  Less 
than  100  cases  were  shipped  from  New 
Jersey,  and  although  there  were  undoubt¬ 
edly  some  carried  ini  by  producers,  com¬ 
paratively  few  New  Jersev  eggs  are  mar¬ 
keted  in  Philadelphia. 
Early  in  the  week  there  was  a  good 
demand  for  fat,  heavy  fowl  for  the  He¬ 
brew  holiday,  the  Passover ;  but  just 
before  Easter  offerings  were  heavy  and 
fowl  eased  off  2c  to  3c  a  pound,  after 
the  decline  fancy  heavy  fowl  selling  at 
29c  to  30c,  White  Leghorns  bringing  2c 
to  3c  per  pound  less.  Fancy  Spring  broil¬ 
ers  averaging  about  1%  lbs.  sold  at  un¬ 
changed  prices,  ranging  from  60  to  65c 
lb.,  and  Winter  chickens  ranged  27c  to 
32c  lb.,  fancy- Plymouth  Rocks  bringing 
top  prices.  The  demand  for  fresh-killed., 
fowl  was  active,  and  prices  advanced  on 
fowl  about  lc  lb.  during  the  week,  fancy 
barreled  packed  selling  at  30c  to  31c  when 
weighing  4  to  5  lbs.  Nearby  chickens 
sold  at.  unchanged  prices,  fancy  heavy 
stock  keing  valued  at  3*1  c  to  32c.  small, 
staggy  chickens  selling  as  low  as  18c  lb. 
Reeeiptsi  of  dressed  poultry  for  the  week 
were  lighter  than  for  the  week  previous, 
and  although  trading  was  quiet  right 
after  Easter,  the  market  was  firmly  held. 
HAY  AND  STRAW 
There  was  very  little  change  in  hay. 
The  market  was  generallv  firm,  with  de¬ 
sirable  stock  being  kept  pretty  well 
cleaned  up.  No.  1  Timothy  brought  $23 
a  ton,  light  clover  mixed  $21  to  $22,  and 
No.  1  rye  straw  sold  up  to  $27  a  ton. 
Wheat  and  oat  straw  averaged  about 
$15.50  a  ton.  b.  w.  s.
