Review  of  Philadelphia  Produce  Market 
Strawberries  always  command  consid¬ 
erable  attention  in  the  markets,  especially 
at  this  time,  when  shipments  are  heaviest. 
Daily  receipts  for  Philadelphia  last  week 
ranged  from  30  to  40  carloads,  received 
from  all  the  coastal  States  from  North 
Carolina  to  New  Jersey,  inclusive,  includ¬ 
ing  a  few  from  Arkansas  as  well.  Due  to 
the  extreme  perishability  of  strawberries, 
it  is  necessary  to  move  them  rapidly, 
often  regardless  of  cost,  and  the  market 
is  very  sensitive  to  supply  and  demand. 
Many  of  them  arrived  in  fair  condition 
only  and  prices  ranged  from  5c  to  10c  a 
quart,  some  of  the  best  selling  for  12c  to 
15c,  and  a  few  from  nearby  selling  for  a 
little  more.  Fairly  cool  weather  this  sea¬ 
son  has  made  asparagus  receipts  lighter 
than  usual  for  the  time  of  year.  The  de¬ 
mand  has  been  good  at  50-60e  for  the 
very  large  long  bunches  of  green  aspara¬ 
gus,  with  the  bulk  of  sales  of  average 
run  of  asparagus  ranging  from  25c  to  40c. 
There  has  been  a  steady  increase  in  the 
number  of  commodities  offered  from  near¬ 
by  sources,  but  aside  from  the  asparagus, 
strawberries,  lettuce  and  perhaps  spin¬ 
ach,  they  are  of  minor  importance.  The 
spinach  market  has  been  in  bad  shape,  it 
being  almost  impossible  to  move  the  ship- 
ped-in  product  and  only  the  best  of  the 
nearby  found  any  market  at  25c  to  40c  a 
bushel.  Radishes,  scallions,  rhubarb  and 
kale  have  been  arriving  in  various 
amounts  from  nearby  farms,  and  a  little 
lettuce  was  received  with  considerable  in¬ 
crease  in  receipts  expected  very  .  soon. 
With  moderate  offerings  of  California  let¬ 
tuce  and  a  gradual  cleaning  up  of  South¬ 
ern  stock  in  progress,  the  market  for 
nearby  lettuce  was  a  good  one,  the  Penn¬ 
sylvania  product  ranging  from  $3.50  to 
$5  a  barrel,  and  New  Jersey  crates  of 
two  dozen  heads  ranging  from  $1.50  to 
$3.50  a  crate.  South  Carolina  growers 
have  now  entered  the  potato  market  in 
competition  with  the  Florida  product,  and 
prices  dropped  about  $2  a  barrel  during 
the  week  under  the  increased  offerings, 
Floridas  selling  for  $0.50  to  $6.75  a  bar¬ 
rel.  The  offerings  of  old  potatoes  have  been 
reduced  to  more  moderate  figures  than 
prevailed  a  few  weeks  ago,  and  there  was 
a  limited  demand  for  good  Pennsylvania 
round  white  and  Maine  Green  Mountains 
at  $1.75  to  $2  per  cwt.  Virginia  and 
South  Carolina  cabbage  has  been  flooding 
the  market,  and  it  has  been  almost  impos¬ 
sible  to  move  anything  but  small  quan¬ 
tities  at  $1  to  $1.2t>  per  barrel  crate. 
Onions  were  very  dull,  good  Texas  yel¬ 
low  Bermudas  bringing  $2.50  a  crate.  A 
few  apples  are  still  left,  New  York  A2%- 
in.  Ben  Davis  selling  around  $4.75  a  bar¬ 
rel.  and  Virginia  Albemarle  Pippins  $8  to 
$S.50  a  barrel.  Peas  will  be  coming  in 
soon  from  New  Jersey ;  meanwhile  the 
trade  is  being  supplied  from  Virginia  and 
North  Carolina,  June  peas  in  bushel  ham¬ 
pers  bringing  $1.50  to  $2.  and  Telephones 
81.50  to  $2.75  in  the  wholesale  market. 
Sweet  corn  and  cantaloupes  from  Texas 
were  reported  among  the  products  re¬ 
ceived  last  week. 
EGGS  AND  POULTRY 
There  has  been  very  little  change  in  the 
egg  market  during  the  past  week.  Re¬ 
ceipts  have  decreased  considerably,  but 
the  demand  was  a  moderate  one  and 
prices  changed  very  little,  nearby  and 
Western  extra  firsts  selling  at  29c  and 
firsts  at  27 %c  to  28c  a  dozen.  Cold 
storage  holdings  are  considerably  below 
last  year’s  stock,  official  reports  showing 
200.753  cases  on  hand  on  the  25th,  com¬ 
pared  with  380,900  cases  a  year  ago, 
while  for  the  four  cities  New  York,  Phil¬ 
adelphia,  Boston  and  Chicago  the  short¬ 
age  is  about  500,000  cases,  compared  with 
last  year’s  holdings. 
There  has  been  a  good  demand  for  good 
live  fowl,  but  there  was  no  important 
change  in  price,  fancy  fat  fowl  selling  at 
29c  to  30c.  and  best  White  Leghorn  fowl 
26c  to  27c  a  pound.  Only  fancy  live 
broiling  chickens  were  readily  taken,  or¬ 
dinary  and  inferior  stock  having  slow 
sale,  the  fancy  Plymouth  Rock  broilers 
weighing  about  2  lbs.  selling  at  50c  to 
58c,  while  mixed  colors  ranged  from  40c 
to  50c  a  pound.  Dressed  fowl  have  been 
selling  well  and  market  was  well  sus¬ 
tained,  barreled  packed  stock  ranging 
from  24c  to  30c.  according  to  size,  the 
preference  being  for  4  to  5-lb.  fowl.  Fresh 
dressed  broilers  held  about  steady  at  45- 
55c-  for  both  Western  and  nearby  stock. 
TI AY  AND  STRAW 
The  hay  market  has  ruled  firm  on  good 
quality  stock  with  most  No.  1  Timothy 
selling  at  $23  a  ton.  occasionally  a  little 
more  being  received  for  exceptionally  nice 
stock.  Clover  mixed  hay  held  about 
steady  at  $21  to  $22  a  ton,  and  good  rye 
straw  remained  unchanged  at  $20  to  $27 
a  ton.  R.  w.  s.
