Review  of  Philadelphia  Produce  Market 
(Supplied  by  New  Jersey  State  Department  of 
Agriculture,  Bureau  of  Markets) 
The  Philadelphia  market  is  showing 
renewed  activity  after  a  rather  dull  time 
<>f  it  during  the  Winter  months.  Nearby 
Spring  vegetables  are  unusually  late,  but 
scallions,  a  little  spinach,  some  dandelion 
greens  and  rhubarb  are  coming  in,  and 
are  the  forerunner  of  more  important 
vegetables  soon  to  come.  Offerings  of 
fruits  and  vegetables  from  different 
States  have  been  fairly  heavy,  but  the 
movement  was  good  and  values  were  well 
maintained  on  most  products.  The  mar¬ 
ket  continued  strong  on  old  potatoes,  and 
prices  advanced  rather  sharply  on  good, 
well-graded  stock,  New'  York  and  Penn¬ 
sylvania  round  whites  in  150-lb.  sacks 
gaining  50  to  75c  during  the  w'eek,  York 
States  bringing  $3.50  and  best  Pennsyl¬ 
vania  stock  $3.75  a  sack  on  the  10th,  the 
highest  price  so  far  this  season.  Most, 
of  the  Eastern  States  are  pretty  w'ell 
cleaned  up  of  their  good  potatoes.  New 
York  State  and  Maine  are  still  shipping, 
the  latter  State  quite  heavily,  and  a  few 
scattering  lots  are  coming  from  other 
Eastern  States,  but  considerable  quanti¬ 
ties  were  also  received  from  the  West, 
Michigan,  Minnesota,  Ptah  and  Idaho 
being  some  of  the  States  contributing  ro 
the  Philadelphia  market.  New  Florida 
potatoes  ranged  $14  to  $18  a  barrel  for 
No.  1  stock  on  the  17th,  but  the  light 
shipments  from  that  section  this  season 
to  date  have  been  a  big  factor  in  keeping 
up  the  price  of  old  potatoes.  Asparagus 
from  South  Carolina  and  California 
moved  freely,  asparagus  from  the  former 
State  ranging  $3.25  to  $6.75  per  dozen 
bunches,  the  size  of  the  asparagus  ac¬ 
counting  for  the  wide  price  difference. 
Apples  show'ed  little  change  last  week. 
The  season  on  barreled  stock  is  late,  and 
much  of  it  is  of  very  ordinary  quality, 
which  was  difficult  to  sell.  Best  New 
York  A 2% -inch  Ben  Davis  wholesaled  at 
$4  to  $4.25,  and  Pennsylvania  stock  $4.50 
to  $4.75  on  the  16th.  Old  cabbage  is  out 
of  the  way  and  new'  cabbage  showed  some 
gains.  Sweet  potato  prices  had  an  up¬ 
ward  tendency,  although  movement  was 
slow.  Louisiana  strawberries  have  been 
improving  in  quality  and  there  has  been 
a  good  market  for  them.  Spinach  sold 
well,  Virginian  working  out.  up  to  $3  a 
barrel,  and  kale  brought  $1  to  $1.50  a 
barrel.  Onions  were  dull.  The  forecast 
for  early  onions  in  Texas  is  67,000 
bushels  less  than  last  season’s  harvested 
crop,  according  to  Government  reports. 
Texas  produces  about  three-fourths  of  the 
Bermuda  type  of  onions  grown  in  this 
country.  The  Louisiana  crop  is  expected 
to  be  about,  one-third  larger  than  last  sea¬ 
son’s  production. 
J-XiGS  AND  POULTRY 
Egg  receipts  were  considerably  lighter 
last  week  and  the  available  stock  was 
kept  pretty  well  cleaned  up  from  day  to 
day.  Prices  on  nearby  eggs  showed  some 
improvement,  advancing  l%e,  to  29%c  a 
dozen  for  nearby  extra  firsts.  Western 
extra  firsts  brought  up  to  29c  the  last  of 
the  week,  but  prices  were  more  irregular 
throughout  the  week  than  on  nearby  eggs. 
There  was  considerable  delay  before  the 
cold  storage  movement  got  under  way  this 
season,  due  largely  to  unfavorable  weather 
conditions,  and  even  now  in-puts  are  not 
very  heavy.  To  the  middle  of  April  only 
about  one-third  as  many  had  been  put  in 
storage  in  Philadelphia  as  were  in  the 
public  warehouses  on  the  same  date  a 
year  ago.  The  total  for  the  four  large 
cities — New  York,  Philadelphia,  Chicago 
and  Boston — is  about  550,000  cases,  com¬ 
pared  with  1,150.000  cases  on  April  16. 
1922.  Prices  at  country  points  have  been 
firm,  but  collections  in  some  parts  of  the 
West  are  reported  to  be  on  the  increase, 
and  with  better  weather  a  more  liberal 
movement  into  storage  may  be  looked  for 
soon.  General  price  levels,  however,  are 
not  expected  to  go  much  if  any  lower. 
Nothing  very  exciting  happened  in  the 
live  poultry  market.  Early  in  the  week 
plenty  of  fowl  was  offered  and  (he  mar¬ 
ket  eased  off  a  little,  fancy  fat  fowl  sell¬ 
ing  most  of  the  week  at  29  to  31c  a  lb., 
while  White  Leghorns  ranged  generally 
27  to  29c  a  lb.  Old  crop  chickens,  of 
course,  are  gone,  and  the  interest  now 
centers  around  Spring  broilers.  There 
were  some  fluctuations,  but  fancy  broilers 
averaging  about  1*4  lbs.  sold  generally 
around  60c  a  lb.,  and  White  Leghorns 
ranged  40  to  50c  as  to  quality.  Dressed 
poultry  receipts  were  not  heavy,  and  with 
a  fair  demand  stocks  were  kept  wrell 
cleaned  up  and  values  were  well  main¬ 
tained.  Fresh-killed  fowl,  barrel-packed 
and  dry-packed,  weighing  3  to  5  lbs., 
ranged  26  to  31c,  the  heavier  fowl  selling 
near  the  top  quotation.  Nearby  chickens, 
weighing  5  lbs.  or  over,  were  valued  at 
31  to  32c.  with  staggy,  coarse  and  small 
stock  selling  as  low  as  19c.  Some  S-lb. 
capons,  box-packed,  from  the  West, 
brought  as  high  as  39  to  40c.  and  barrel- 
packed  stock  35  to  3Ge  a  lb.  C old  storage 
holdings  of  poultry  continue  heavy.  Gov¬ 
ernment  reports  showing  over  3.600.000 
lbs.,  or  1.000.060  lbs.  more  than  was  in 
storage  in  Philadelphia  a  year  ago. 
HAY  AND  STRAW 
Hay  receipts  have  been  light,  and  with 
a  good  demand  supplies  were  kept  well 
cleaned  up.  Timothy  hay  ruled  firm  at 
$23  a  ton  for  No.  1,  and  $21  to  $22  for 
second  grade  stock.  No.  1  light  clover 
mixed  was  also  valued  at  $21  to  $22,  and 
heavy  mixed  at  $19  a  ton.  Bye  straw 
continues  to  hold  up  well,  No.  1  straight 
rye  bringing  $27  and  wheat  and  oat 
straw  $15.50  per  ton.  b.  w.  s.
