The  RURAL  NEW-YORKER 
Market  News 
a 
n  d 
Review  of  the  New  York  Produce  Market 
Strawberry  receipts  have  been  on  a 
liberal  scale,  especially  from  North 
Carolina,  and  now  that  Virginia  and 
.Maryland  growers  are  also-- shipping  con¬ 
siderable  quantities,  prices  dropped  to 
15  to  ISc  a  quart  for  the  best,  and  some 
were  received  in  such  a  condition  as  to 
be  almost  worthless.  New*  Jersey  straw¬ 
berries  will  soon  be  coming  in,  and  al¬ 
though  the  frost  early  in  May  touched 
some  of  the  early  varieties,  a  large  crop 
is  expected.  The  apple  market  continues 
linn  for  anything  desirable,  with  fancy 
Baldwins  bringing  as  much  as  .$8  per 
barrel.  Asparagus  held  fairly  steady, 
and  prices  have  kept  up  unusually  well. 
Cool  weather  has  retarded  the  crop, 
some  growers  reporting  that  they  have 
cut  to  date  only  about  one-fourth  of 
their  usual  amount.  The  very  large 
fancy  Pennsylvania  green  asparagus  has 
been  topping  the  market,  some  of  the 
finest  selling  $G  to  $0.50,  occasionally  .$7 
per  dozen  bunches,  and  fancy  large  white 
asparagus  brought  $4.50  to  $5.50  per 
dozen  bunches.  Receipts  of  old  potatoes 
were  moderate,  but  with  many  dealers 
loaded  up  with  higher  priced  stock  ac¬ 
quired  a  few-  weeks  ago,  there  was  little 
interest  shown,  and  the  market  was  dull. 
New  potatoes  have  been  fluctuating  a 
little,  the  market  being  a  bit  sensitive 
under  limited  offerings.  Receipts  of 
Florida  potatoes  amounted  to  over  250 
carloads  for  the  week  ending  May  10, 
and  South  Carolina  potatoes,  which  have 
just  recently  begun  to  come  in,  sold  for 
about  $7.75  a  barrel  for  the  best  Irish 
Cobblers.  Texas  onions  are  now  arriv¬ 
ing  in  good'  condition,  and  although  re¬ 
ceipts  were  moderate,  the  market  was 
dull  at  $2.50  to  $2.75  a  crate.  The  com¬ 
mercial  acreage  of  onions  for  the  inter¬ 
mediate  States,  as  forecast  in  the  Gov¬ 
ernment  reports,  is  practically  the  same 
as  last  year’s  acreage.  Offerings  of  let¬ 
tuce  were  moderate,  with  very  little 
fancy  obtaiuable.  Much  of  the  Southern 
lettuce  was  very  ordinary,  and  cold 
frame  lettuce  from  nearby  sold  well 
at  around  $3.50  per  crate  of  two  dozen 
beads.  Southern  cabbage  showed  a  little 
strength  the  middle  of  the  week  and 
closed  steady  on  the  22d.  North  Caro¬ 
lina  has  been  the  heaviest  shipper,  and 
Virginia  is  •  now  starting  in  with  the 
possibility  of  marketing  ,as  much  as  last 
year,  as  a  year  ago  low  prices  prevented 
some  of  it  being  shipped.  Spinach  has 
been  plentiful  and  very  dull  and  prices 
low.  Rhubarb  was  slow,  and  scallions, 
radishes  and  other  small  nearby  commo¬ 
dities  were  freely  offered. 
EGGS  AND  POULTRY 
There  was  a  fairly  active  demand  for 
Western  eggs  last  week  and  a  firmer 
tone  developed.  Current  demands  im¬ 
proved  a  little  and  considerable  gains 
were  made  in  storage  holdings.  Statisti¬ 
cal  figures  of  the  United  States  Bureau 
of  Agricultural  Economics  show  a  gain 
of  over  175.000  cases  for  the  week  ending 
May  19.  this  being  considerably  more 
than  for  the  same  week  a  year  ago.  The 
present  holdings  in  New  York  are  still 
about  110,000  cases  short  of  last  year’s 
holdings  and  30,000  eases  less  than  the 
amount  reported  for  May  19,  1921.  This 
season,  however,  is  a  late  one.  and  with 
continued  gains,  such  as  last  week,  it 
would  be  but  a  short  time  before  the 
amount  of  storage  eggs  in  the  warehouses 
equaled  rhose  of  a  year  ago.  The  market 
on  nearby  white  eggs  was  not  very  satis¬ 
factory.  Receipts  were  liberal,  and 
some  accumulations  were  reported,  with 
many  going  iuto  storage  to  the  ship¬ 
per's  account.  A  great  many  eggs  when 
received  arc  gone  over  by  the  receivers, 
and  these  repacked  eggs  bring  the  highest 
quotations,  as  they  are  carefully  selected 
stock.  The  bulk  of  the  offerings  of  nearby 
eggs  showed  a  wide  range  in  quality, 
most  of  them  contniniug  more  or  less 
defective  stock,  and  sold,  at  irregular 
prices,  large  lots  in  original  packages 
selling  as  low  as  29c  a  dozen. 
Express  receipts  of  live  broilers  have 
been  ranch  heavier  of  late,  and  there  has 
also  been  some  increase  in  freight  offer¬ 
ings  and  values  have  been  easing  off. 
The  cool  weather  which  hurt  the  sales  of 
broilers  seemed  to  stimulate  the  fowl 
market,  and  with  an  added  demand  for 
the  Hebrew  holidays,  Feast  of  the  Weeks, 
a  firm  market  prevailed.  Long  Island 
ducks  sold  well.  Receipts  of  fresh-killed 
fowl  were  light  and  price  ranges  showed 
little  change.  Offerings  of  fresh-killed 
broilers  were  also  light,  with  the  majority 
of  sales  ranging  40  to  55c  a  pound.  The 
cold  storage  holdings  ip  the  United 
States  continue  heavy,  especially  in  tur¬ 
keys.  which  are  double  last  year’s  stocks. 
Holdings  of  frozen  fowl  are  also  much 
heavier  than  last  year,  but  not  as  heavy 
as  for  the  five-year  average,  while  broiler 
stocks  are  a  little  under  the  average. 
HAY  AND  STRAW 
Hay  movement  has  been  very  light, 
with  very  little  high-grade  hay  offered. 
Prices  have  changed  very  little,  however, 
as  the  market  has  been  inactive,  even  on 
medium  and  lower  grades  of  hay.  which 
were  offered  in  sufficient  quantities  to 
meet  all  demands.  Rye  straw  dull  and 
about  $1  per  ton  easier.  Oat  straw  neg¬ 
lected.  s*

“I  am  happy  to  know  that  my  estab¬ 
lishment  was  recommended  to  you  by  one 
of  my  former  boarders.”  “Yes,  indeed, 
ma’am ;  I’m  trying  to  get  thin,  you  see, 
and  he  advised  me  to  come  here.” — Buen 
Humor  (Madrid).
