Review  of  New  York  Produce  Market 
New  York  State  and  Virginia  are 
practically  the  only  Eastern  States  ship¬ 
ping  apples  to  the  New  York  market  at 
present,  these  States  supplying  about  one- 
half  of  the  apples  received,  the  Pacific 
Coast  States  supplying  the  remainder. 
Comparatively  little  fancy  stock  is  avail¬ 
able,  and  on  such  the  market  ruled  firm, 
but  there  was  considerably  scalded  and 
otherwise  poor  stock  which  moved  slowly. 
Exports  this  season  are  heavier  than  last 
year,  amounting  to  1645,500  barrels  and 
nearly  3,175,000  boxes,  compared  with 
1.225,000  barrels  and  2,513  boxes  last 
year,  according  to  the  statistics  of  the 
International  Apple  Shippers’  Associa¬ 
tion.  The  onion  market  lias  not  been  in 
very  good  condition,  trading  being  dull 
and  unsatisfactory,  although  the  receipts 
were  rather  limited,  A  few  packages  of 
this  season’s  onions  were  received  from 
Egypt,  which  were  reported  to  have  ar¬ 
rived  in  very  good  condition,  and  imports 
of  Spanish  onions  last  week  amounted  to 
about  18  carloads.  The  Texas  onion  acre¬ 
age  is  larger  than  last  year,  according 
to  Government  reports,  but  the  crop  is 
not  expected  to  be  as  big,  due  to  smaller 
yields.  Shipments  have  been  light,  as 
only  about.  11  carloads  were  shipped  last 
week,  the  crop  being  greatly  retarded,  due 
to  a  late  freeze.  Sweet  potato  receipts 
woie  rather  limited,  but  there  was  a  fair 
demand,  and  the  market  showed  some  im¬ 
provement  on  good  stock.  Spinach  is  be¬ 
ing  received  principally  from  Virginia, 
and  good  stock  sold  without  difficulty, 
but  considerable  poor  stuff  was  offered, 
which  sold  at  irregular  prices.  Lettuce 
generally  sold  well,  and  radishes,  kale, 
chicory  and  Lima  beans  were  in  demand. 
Receipts  of  fancy  potatoes  were  light,  and 
the  market  on  such  was  firm,  but  on  ordi¬ 
nary  stock  movement  was  slow.  Florida 
shipments  of  new  potatoes  have  been  very 
light,  less  than  60  carloads  being  shipped 
to  April  7  this  season,  compared  with 
over  580  carloads  last  year,  and  very  few 
have  been  received  on  the  New  York  mar¬ 
ket.  However,  a  carload  arrived  on  the 
9th,  which  wholesaled  around  $16  per  bbl. 
for  No.  1  stock.  Recent  preliminary  es¬ 
timates  by  the  United  States  Department 
of  Agriculture  place  the  total  aereage*of 
potatoes  for  1923  for  early  and  interme¬ 
diate  States  at  about  75  per  cent  of  the 
big  acreage  harvested  in  1922,  while  the 
estimates  for  Virginia,  North  and  South 
Carolina  were  80  per  cent;  Maryland,  94 
per  cent,  and  New  Jersey,  64  per  cent  of 
the  acres  harvested  last  year. 
EGGS  AND  POULTRY 
With  continued  severe  weather  con¬ 
ditions  in  producing  sections  and  a  di¬ 
version  of  many  of  the  surplus  eggs  to 
storage  houses  in  the  Middle  Western 
States,  receipts  in  the  New  York  market 
were  not  as  heavy  as  might  have  been  ex¬ 
pected.  Government  reports  showed  that 
only  206.800  cases  were  received  the  first 
week  in  April,  a  decrease  of  about  100.000 
cases  compared  with  the  week  previous. 
Receipts  from  a  similar  period  a  year  ago 
were  284,578  cases.  The  shrinkage  was 
especially  large  from  Western  and  South¬ 
ern  States,  express  shipments  from  near¬ 
by  States  being  unusually  heavy,  amount¬ 
ing  to  about  25  per  cent  of  the  total  re¬ 
ceipts.  Fancy  nearby  and  Pacific  Coast 
white  eggs  dropped  in  prl  e  about  4c  a 
dozen,  the  Pacific  Coast  eggs  coming  into 
competition  with  the  nearby  eggs,  many 
of  which  were  only  of  ordinary  quality. 
Prices  on  fresh  gathered  extras  were 
steady  to  firm.  The  cold-storage  move¬ 
ment  of  eggs,  although  now  fairly  started, 
was  retarded  by  late  opening  of  Spring, 
and  the  inward  movement  so  far  has  been 
light.  Receivers  were  a  little  skeptical 
about  storing  eggs  coming  from  Northern 
States,  where  there  has  been  so  much  cold 
weather.  Lighter  receipts  and  firm  mar¬ 
kets  also  affected  the  storage  movement ; 
the  total  holdings  on  hand  in  New  York 
storage  houses  on  April  9.  amounting  to 
181,716  cases,  compared  with  298.000 
cases  a  year  ago. 
An  extra  amount  of  live  poultry  is 
always  wanted  for  the  Hebrew  holiday, 
the  Passover,  and  there  was  a  good  de¬ 
mand  for  the  fancy  live  fowl.  The  mar¬ 
ket  was  oversupplied,  however,  and  lower 
prices  were  the  result.  Old  crop  chickens 
are  practically  off  the  market.  Spring 
broilers  from  nearby  producing  sections 
were  more  plentiful  toward  the  last  of  the 
week  and  the  market  easier.  Long  Island 
ducks  sold  well.  Receipts  of  fresh-killed 
poultry  were  rather  light  last  week,  but 
trading  was  not  as  active  as  it  has  been, 
and  fowl  eased  off  about,  lc  a  pound  on 
rhe  heavy  sizes.  There  are  very  few 
dressed  broilers  coming  in,  as  most  of 
them  are  being  shipped  alive.  The  few 
old-crop  chickens  received  were  mostly 
staggy,  and  a  good  demand  developed  for 
storage  stock.  The  amount  of  poultry 
in  storage  is  still  very  large,  compared 
with  last  year’s  holdings  at  this  time,  and 
with  large  quantities  of  poultry  in  the 
country,  the  situation  does  not  look  any 
too  encouraging  for  frozen  stock, 
HAY  AND  STRAW 
There  was  plenty  of  hay  offered,  but 
trading  was  generally  fair,  and  the  market 
held  steady.  The  poorer  grades,  especially 
in  small  bales,  found  a  quiet  market. 
Rye  straw  continues  to  be  scarce  and 
firm,  but  there  was  little  demand  for  bat 
straw’.  js.  w.  s.
