Receipts  of  fruit  and  vegetables  have 
been  quite  heavy,  and  prices  on  several 
commodities  declined  materially  during 
the  week.  Potatoes  especially  were  in 
heavy  receipt,  over  000  carloads  being  re¬ 
ceived  for  the  week  ending  May  5,  about 
ISO  carloads  of  which  were  new  potatoes 
from  Florida.  Receipts  the  week  before 
were  even  heavier,  and  with  commission 
houses  well  stocked  up  and  trading  quiet, 
a  dull  and  weak  market  was  the  natural 
result.  Daily  rceipts  had  fallen  oft  a  lit¬ 
tle  by  the  last;  of  the  week,  but  the  carry¬ 
over  was  large  and  the  market  has  little 
chance  for  improvement  until  present  ac¬ 
cumulations  arc  greatly  reduced-  Maine 
is  s'ill  the  chief  source  of  supply  tor  old 
potatoes,  followed  by.,  Idaho,  which  ship¬ 
ped  i M-  carloads  to  New  York  last  week, 
in  all  about,  16  different  potato  districts 
supplying  the  trade.  New  potatoes  de¬ 
clined  steadily,  dropping  about  I-  per  bbl. 
during  the  week..  South  Carolina  in 
creased  its  cabbage  shipments  and  prices 
dropped  about  $1.50  per  100-lb.  crate. 
( tfferings  of  Southern  spinach  were  heavy, 
receipts  of  nearby  spinach  are  increasing 
and  the  market  was  in  a  bad  shape  aim 
prices  ruled  low.  <  In  ions  held  about  steady, 
Texas  offerings  of  new  containing  much 
poor  stock,  but  there  is  some  encourage¬ 
ment  in  the  reports  of  an  improvement  m 
the  condition  of  recent  shipments.  <  om- 
paratively  few  old  onions  are  left,  amt 
these  sold  at  irregular  prices,  best 
Indianas  from  cold  storage  bringing  $4 
to  $4.50  per  100-lb.  sack.  Good  lettuce 
also  held  steady,  the  tendency,  however, 
being  downward  rather  than  upward,  as 
considerable  poor  lettuce  was  offered,  and 
carlot  receipts  from  North  Carolina  weie 
much  heavier.  Strawberry  receipts  jumped 
from  a  total  of  61  carloads  -for  the  last 
week  in  April  to  157  carloads  for  the  first, 
week  in  May.  and  the  market  cased  oft  a

pi  v  ihe  majority  of  sweet  potatoes,  for 
which  there  was  a  mo'defate  demand  at 
steady  prices.  Considerable  interest  was 
shown  in  asparagus.  California  growers 
are  practically  through  shipping  and  the 
trade  is  dependent  on  the  Atlantic  Coast 
States  as  far  north  as  New  Jersey,  ihe 
demand  was  good  and  the  market  held  up 
well  until  late  in  the  week,  when  a  little 
w  eakness  developed,  but  good  prices  were 
received  for  all  desirable  stock. 
EGGS  ANI)  POULTRY 
There  lias  been  considerable  increase  in 
egg  receipts  during  the  past  week,  and 
they  exceeded  the  receipts  for  a  similar 
period  a  year  ago  by  about  35,000  cases. 
As  the  current  needs  of  the  distributing 
trade  have  been  moderate,  the  increased 
supplies  have  naturally  gone  into  storage. 
This  has  resulted  in  rather  free  trading 
in  storage  packed  firsts,  and  with  many 
eggs  of  exceptionally  good  quality  being- 
stored  to  the  shipper’s  account,  the  mar¬ 
ket  on  fancy  eggs  has  been  well  sustained. 
Fanciest  New  Jersey  white  eggs  advanced 
slightly,  but  this  wms  only  for  exceptional¬ 
ly  fine  eggs  which  were  in  demand  for 
special  trade.  The  ordinary  offerings  of 
nearby  eggs,  which  contained  more  or 
less  defective  stock,  were  rather  slow  and 
many  sales  of  mixed  lots  were  reported  at 
31  ro  33c.  Nearby  gathered  whites,  firsts 
to  extra  firsts,  held  about  steady  at  31 
to  34c  per  doz.  The  cold  storage  hold¬ 
ings  jumped  from  618,000  cases  on  May  1 
to  nearly  740,000  cases  on  May  5,  the 
inputs  for  the  week  being  considerably 
heavier  than  for  the  first  week  in  May, 
1922.  Although  the  -  disparity  between 
this  year  and  last  year’s  holdings  was 
reduced  somewhat,  the  New  York  storage 
houses  still  lack  about  225,000  cases  of 
the  amount  held  a. year  ago  at  this  time. 
.  -Receipts  of  live '  poultry,  while  not 
heavy,  were  more  than  sufficient  to  meet 
the  current  requireinents  of  the  '  trade, 
and  considerable  stock  was  carried  over 
front  day  to  day.  This  resulted  in  a 
w’-eak  and  steadily  declining  market  until 
ihe-  5th.  when  express  fowl  sold  at  25  to 
26c.  Cooler  weather  followed  and  the 
market,  opened  Stronger  on  the  7th,  live 
fowl  selling  up  to  28c.  Broilers  were 
move  plentiful  last  week  in  the  freight 
receipts,  hut  many  of  them  .were  poor  and 
ihe  market  declined.  Receipts^  of  ex¬ 
press  broilers  also  showed  an  increase, 
but  the  demand  was  fair."  especially  if  the 
stock  was  at  all  attractive,  and  the  mar¬ 
ket  held  fairly  steady  until  late  in  the 
week,  when  values  averaged  lower.  Re¬ 
ceipts  of  fresh-killed  poultry  were  light, 
but  there  was  little  trading  and  with  the 
exception  of  fowl  the  market  was  gener¬ 
ally  weqk.  Spring  broilers  were  more 
plentiful,  and  prices  dropped  10c  per  lb. 
Spring  ducks  declined  steadily  under  more 
liberal  offerings.  Fresh-killed  fowl  were 
in  light  receipt  and  the  market  held 
steady,  with  a  preference  for  barreled  or 
keg-packed  fowl. 
HAY  AND  STRAW 
The  market  on  No.  1  hay  has  been 
well  sustained,  as  receipts  have  been  very 
light  on  this  grade  stock.  Medium  grade 
bay  moved  a  little  better  early  in  the 
week,  but  trading  has  not  been  very 
active  at  any  time,  and  movement  on 
poor  grades  was  very  slow.  Receipts  of 
rye  straw  were  a  little  heavier,  and  values 
averaged  a  little  lower.  i  B.  w.  S. 
Countrywide  Produce  Situation 
CAN  NEARBY  PRODUCERS  HOLD  THEIR

FAIRLY  GOOD - STRAWBERRY  OUTPUT 
INCREASING  —  OPENING  FOR  O  T  H  E  K 
FRUITS — TOPPING  THE  EGG  MARKET. 
Danish  eggs  recently  averaged  32c  in 
British  markets,  compared  with  28c  for 
the  average  of  English  eggs,  while  Chi¬ 
nese  eggs  bring  only  21c.  The  Danes 
seem  to  have  reached  the  lop  of  the  Brit¬ 
ish  market  by  putting  up  a  reliable  fancy 
grade,  while  Chinese  shippers  have  little 
idea  either  of  grading  or  packing. 
In  our  own  Eastern  markets  top  prices 
were  recently  scored  by  a  fancy  pack  of 
large  white  eggs  from  California's  famous 
poultry  districts.  Distant  shippers  every¬ 
where  succeed  only  by  using  a  high-grade 
of  skill  in  packing  and  marketing  to  over¬ 
come  the  handicaps  of  time  and  freight 
cost.  Nearby  egg  producers  can  meet  the 
competition  by  using  the  same -class  of 
market  methods.  Ninety-nine  per  cent  ot 
them  have  no  particular  system,  because 
their  position  close  to  the  market  has 
given  them  an  advantage,  but  these  quo¬ 
tations  for  superior  Danish  and  Califor¬ 
nia  eggs  may  be  worth  thinking  about. 
Fancy  fresh  eggs  have  always  seemed 
to  be  {lie  monopoly  of  the  nearby  pro¬ 
ducer.  He  might  be  losing  his  special 
grip  on  markets  for  fancy  milk,  butter 
and  perishable  truck  crops,  but  nearby 
lien  fruit  would  always  lead,  ,  because 
careful  buyers  dislike  to  take  chances  on 
•mi  egg.  But  it  seems  the  nearby  egg 
shipper  must  fight  for  his  own  market,  lie 
has  the  inside  track  now  tit  least.  Re¬ 
cent  State  investigations  in  Connecticut 
show  that  fully  three-fourths  of  the  city 
consumers  prefer  to  buy  eggs  from  pro¬ 
ducers,  and  do  so  when  they  can.  After 
all,  there  will  never  be  any  egg  quite  so 
good  as  a  fresh  egg  that  the  consumer 
boils  and  clips  open  without  a  moment 
of  doubt.'  A  single  disappointment  will 
impair  that  feeling  of  confidence.  To 
give  him  a  good  egg  in  its  place  will  not 
right  the  situation.  The  main  causes  of 
trouble  are  stolen  nests,  neglected  sitters 
and  the  use  of  real  eggs  as  nest  eggs. 
There  is  always  risk  from  such  sources. 
Eggs  in  doubt  and  those  a  little  off  in 
.size  and  appearance  should  he  kept  out 
of  the  family  trade.  To  make  sure  each 
egg  should  be  held  up  to  the  egg  tester 
and  seen  to  be  perfectly  clear.  An  egg 
peddler’s  reputation,  like  many  others,  is 
easy  to  lose  and  hard  to  get  back. 
THE  POTATO  OUTLOOK 
The  potato  estimate  for  May  shows  a 
falling  off  of  about  25  per  cent  in  the 
Southern  crop,  or  some  10,000.  carlots,  as 
compared  with  last  year.  This  decrease 
will  help  some  in  clearing  up  the  old  po¬ 
tatoes  during  the  few  weeks  left.  The 
Northeastern  States  have  sold  out  reason¬ 
ably  close,  but  there  will  be  millions  of 
bushels  further  West  that  will  hardly 
find  a  market.  Some  of  the  Western  po¬ 
tato  farmers  are  planting  more  sugar 
beets,  which  may  help  the  situation  all 
around.  City  markets  are  all  full  of  po¬ 
tatoes,  the  price  has  sagged  almost  con¬ 
tinually  for  many  weeks,  and  nothing  but 
the  rather  light  supply  of  new  Southern 
potatoes  has  kept  the  situation  fairly 
sound.  Prices  are  decidedly  higher  in  the 
East  than  in  the  West,  because  an  unusu¬ 
ally  large  proportion  of  supplies  come 
from  the  West,  with  high  freight  costs 
added. 
The  Chicago  carlot  price  for  standard 
stock  is  around  $1  per  100  lbs.,  but  is 
fully  $2  in  most  Eastern  markets.  A  so- 
called  russet  stock  from  Idaho  and  Col¬ 
orado  is  unusually  prominent  in  Eastern 
markets  and  brings  50c  to  $1  more  than 
the  round  white  class.  The  term  “rus¬ 
set”  is  a  commercial  name  for  Western 
potatoes  of  the  long  Burbank  type.  These 
usually  sell  a  little  higher  than  the  others, 
and  rite  difference  is  greater  than  usual 
this  year,  because  of  the  relatively  lighter 
supply  and  the  unexpected  demand  for 
Western  potatoes  in  the  East. 
PLENTY  OF  STRAWBERRIES 
Southern  strawberry  shippers  expect 
another  big  year.  The  business  has  pined 
away  during  the  late  war  years,  when  em¬ 
phasis  was  being  placed  on  the  necessity 
crops,  and  when  a  farmer  could  hardly 
plan  ahead  for  the  two  seasons  needed  to 
mature  the  berry  crop.  High  prices  have 
encouraged  a  great  increase  the  last  two 
years.  Market  production  has  more  than 
doubled  since  1920,  but  even  now  it  is  not 
much  larger  than  before  the  war,  allow¬ 
ing  for.  increase  in  population.  Prob¬ 
ably  the  strawberry  come-back  has  pro¬ 
ceeded  about  fty  enough  for  the  welfare 
of  producers. 
GOME  FRUITS  NEGLECTED 
Some  of  the  fruits,  including  cherries, 
currants  and  raspberries,  have  not  ex¬ 
panded  so  fast.  There  may  be  more  room 
for  early  sweet  and  sour  berries  from  the 
South,  sweet  and  sour  berries  from  the 
North,  more  red  currants  and  a  few  more 
red  and  black  ones,  also  a  few  more  rasp¬ 
berries  and  green  gooseberries.  There 
may  be  a  great  future  for  the  big  culti¬ 
vated  blueberries.  The  South  has  not 
yet  filled  the  demand  for  good  early  ap¬ 
ples.  although  Georgia  and  California  are 
sending  them  better  each  year.  It  is  un¬ 
derstood  that  practically  the  entire  Geor¬ 
gia  commercial  crop  will  be  put  up  in 
boxes  this  year.  Southern  shippers  are 
anxious  to  be  classed  with  the  box  apple 
shipping ,  regions,  but  apparently  they 
have  considerable  to  learn  in  regard  to 
high  grade  production,  packing  and  mar¬ 
keting.  Northern  growers  have  neglected 
many  local  markets  for  pears,  plums  and 
fancy  grapes.  They  have  done  little  with 
hothouse  fruit  as  compared  with  growers 
in  Europe.  A  few  years  later  no  doubt 
we  shall  look  back  on  the  present  time 
and  wonder  why  numerous  opportunities 
in  farming  and  horticulture  were  so  long 
neglected. 
The  fruit  crop  in  the  South  looks  bet¬ 
ter  than  expected.  There  will  be  a  good 
many  apples  and  a  fair  output  of  pears 
and  peaches.  Plums  and  peaches  have 
had  a  considerable  reduction.  The  season 
is  late  in  the  North,  and  so  irregular  and 
treacherous  i,n  the  South  that  much  re¬ 
planting  had  to  be  done.  G.  B.  f.
