Review  of  Philadelphia  Produce  Market 
(Supplied  by  New  Jersey  State  Department  of 
Agriculture,  Bureau  of  Markets) 
Receipts  of  fruits  and  vegetables  have 
been  fairly  heavy  and  a  larger  variety  of 
nearby  vegetables  have  made  their  ap¬ 
pearance.  There  is  not  the  usual  volume 
of  nearby  commodities,  however,  due  to 
the  backward  Spring.  Asparagus  receipts 
from  Pennsylvania  and  New  Jersey  have 
been  light  to  moderate,  and  until  recently 
prices '"held  steady.  A  slow  market  the 
last  day  or  two  caused  a  drop  of  10  to  loc 
a  bunch,  extra  fancy  large  asparagus  sell¬ 
ing  up  to  50c,  with  most  offerings  going 
at,  from  25  to  40c  a  bunch.  Nearby  kale 
was  about  steady  at  $1.25  to  $1.50  a  bar¬ 
rel.  and  rhubarb  2  to  2i/2c  a  bunch.  Good 
spinach  has  been  selling  fairly,  New  Jer- 
sey  bringing  75c  to  $1.25  a  bushel,  and 
that  from  Norfolk,  1  a.,  $1.50  to  $2  a 
barrel.  Lettuce  has  been  in  good  demand. 
A  little  hotbed  lettuce  from  Pennsylvania 
(fold  around  $5  a  barrel,  but  most  of  the 
lettuce  came  from  the  Carolinas,  the  Pig 
Poston  variety  ranging  $2  to  $3.75  per 
half-barrel  hamper.  It  is  now  about  the 
peak  of  the  shipping  season  for  North 
Carolina  strawberries,  and  under  the  in¬ 
creasing  receipts  prices  dropped  about  8c 
a  quart,  best  wholesaling  18  to  22c  a 
quart  on  the  15th.  Virginia  growers  have 
also  begun  shipping  strawberries.  Gov¬ 
ernment  crop  reports  estimate  the  yield 
of  strawberries  for  the  early  and  inter¬ 
mediate  States,  which  includes  Maryland 
and  all  States  South,  at  about  the  same 
as  last  year.  The  strawberry  acreage  in 
these  States  has  been  increasing  the  last 
few  years,  there  being  in  1021  about  75,- 
500  acres,  compared  with  111,900  acres 
for  1023.  Apple  offerings  are  naturally 
light  at  this  late  date,  and  anything  good 
was  readily  taken,  New  York  A-2%-in. 
Baldwins  bringing  $8,  and  2% -in.  Ben 
Davis  $5.50  to  $0  a  barrel.  Pen  Davis 
in  bushel  baskets  sold  at  $1.40  to  $1.75. 
Recent  receipts  of  old  potatoes  have  not 
been  heavy,  and  the  heavy  surplus  on 
tracks  is  being  slowly  reduced.  The  mar¬ 
ket,  however,  is  dull  and  the  carry-over 
from  day  to  day  has  been  large  and  there 
seems  to  be  little  chance  for  old  potatoes 
to  show  much  improvement.  The  mar¬ 
ket  has  been  fairly  strong  on  new  No.  1 
Florida  potatoes  at  $7.50  to  $8.50  a  bar¬ 
rel.  but  the  market  on  No.  2s  was  slow 
and  dull.  Old  onions  are  practically  gone, 
and  Texas  shippers  are  supplying  the 
market  supplemented  by  a  little  imported 
stock  from  Egypt.  New  yellow  onions 
wrere  bringing  $2.G5  to  $2.75  per  Texas 
standard  crate.  Sweet  potatoes  are  grad¬ 
ually  cleaning  up  for  the  season,  Dela¬ 
wares  selling  75c  to  $1  tier  bushel  ham¬ 
per,  and  New  Jerseys  50c  to  $1.10  per 
% -bush  el. 
EGGS  AND  POULTRY 
Egg  receipts  were  a  little  heavier  last 
week  than  for  the  week  previous,  and 
with  an  indifferent  demand  the  market 
weakened,  prices  on  nearby  extra  firsts 
dropping  2c,  and  on  Western  extra  firsts 
2%c  a  dozen  between  the  7th  and  the 
14th  of  May,  both  selling  after  the  de¬ 
cline  at  26%c  a  dozen.  Cold  storage 
holdings  in  Philadelphia  the  middle  of 
May  were  about  142.000  cases  less  than  a 
year  ago,  and  the  preliminary  report  of 
the  United  States  Department  of  Agricul¬ 
ture  on  cold  storage  egg  holdings  for  May 
1  showed  a  total  of  3.640,000  cases, 
against  4.648,000  cases  a  year  ago,  or  a 
deficit  of  1.002,000  cases,  the  shortage 
not  being  as  large  as  was  generally  ex¬ 
pected.  Storage  holdings  last  year,  how¬ 
ever,  were  unusually  large,  and  when  the 
May  1  holdings  are  compared  with  the 
average  holdings  for  the  past  five  years, 
it  is  found  that  present  stocks  are  heavier 
by  about  60,000  cases.  The  season  is  a 
late  one,  •  especially  in  the  Northern 
States,  and  if  the  statistics  concerning  the 
four  large  consuming  markets.  New  York, 
Philadelphia,  Boston  and  Chicago,  are  a 
true  indication  of  the  inputs  for  the  coun¬ 
try  as  a  whole,  a  part  of  this  year’s 
deficit,  compared  with  last  year’s  stocks, 
has  already  been  partly  overcome. 
Receipts  of  live  poultry  were  generally 
moderate  and  movement  about  normal. 
Early  in  the  week  there  was  an  increase 
ini  broiler  receipts  and  the  market  weak¬ 
ened,  but  steady  prices  prevailed  after  the 
decline,  fancy  Plymouth  Rock  broilers 
averaging  about  1%  lbs.  ranging  55  to 
58c,  and  best  White  Leghorns  42  to  45c 
per  lb.,  poor  and  small  stock  selling  as 
low  at  35c  per  lb.  Live  fowl  was  gener¬ 
ally  firm  at  28  to  29c  per  lb.  for  best  col¬ 
ored  stock,  but  White  Leghorns  had  lit¬ 
tle  sale  above  25  to  26c.  Fancy  White 
Pekin  ducks  averaged  about  27%c  per  lb., 
and  guineas  sold  up  to  $1  per  pair.  There 
were  no  important  changes  in  the  dressed 
poultry  market,  fresh-killed  fowl,  barreled 
pack,  weighing  4  to  5  lbs.,  ranging  29  to 
30c,  heavier  selling  a  little  under  ,  these 
prices  and  fowl  averaging  3  lbs.  bringing 
24  to  25c.  The  cold  storage  holdings  of 
dressed  poultry  in  Philadelphia  is  still 
about  1,075,000  lbs.  more  than  a  year  ago. 
but  reductions  since  the  first  of  the  month 
were  about  60,000  lbs.  more  than  for  the 
first  half  of  May,  1022.  Storage  holdings 
were  heavy  this  year,  and  good  consump¬ 
tion  will  be  necessary  to  clear  the  ware¬ 
houses  before  another  storage  season  be¬ 
gins. 
HAY  AND  STRAW 
Hay  receipts  were  about  normal  for  the 
t  News  and 
Prices 
season  of  the  year.  Timothy  hay  ruled 
firm  and  sold  at  steady  prices,  the  little 
strictly  No.  1  offered  selling  $23  per  ton, 
and  No.  2  at  $21  to  $22  a  ton.  No.  1  light 
clover  mixed  hay  averaged  $21.50  a  ton, 
and  straight  rye  straw  sold  up  to  $28. 
Wheat  and  oat  straw  were  slow  at  $15.50 
to  $16  per  ton.  b.  w.  s.
