Review  of  New  York  Produce  Market 
(Supplied  by  New  Jersey  State  Department  of 
Agriculture,  Bureau  of  Markets.) 
The  fruit  and  vegetable  season  is  pro¬ 
gressing  rapidly,  new  products  appearing 
from  various  sections  of  the  country  al¬ 
most  daily  and  products  which  have  long 
been  in  the  market  are  constantly  being 
received  from  new  territory.  Strawber¬ 
ries  which  were  received  from  Florida  as 
early  as  last  December  have  gradually 
worked  up  the  coast  until  New  Jersey  is 
the  latest  producing  State.  Of  about  480 
carloads  of  strawberries  received  for  the 
week  ending  June  2,  250  carloads  were 
from  Maryland,  100  from  Delaware,  and 
about  00  each  from  New  Jersey  and  Vir¬ 
ginia,  North  Carolina  being  about  cleaned 
up  and  sending  only  10  carloads  to  the 
local  market,  according  to  official  sta¬ 
tistics.  The  arrivals  of  good  strawberries 
have  not  been  too  heavy  for  the  demand, 
but  there  has  been  considerable  poor  stock 
offered  and  the  market  was  irregular, 
dosing  on  the  5th  at  8  to  20c,  large  sell¬ 
ing  mostly  at  17  to  20c,  few  23  to  25c  a 
•  mart.  Cantaloupes  from  Texas  and  Cal¬ 
ifornia  have  been  coming  in  for  a  week  or 
two;  likewise  Florida  watermelons  and 
sweet  corn.  Georgia  opened  up  the  peach 
season  by  sending  a  few  crates  of  the 
.Mayflower  variety,  the  first  sales  bringing 
around  .$0.50  a  crate.  Georgia  plums  are 
also  a  new  product  for  the  season.  The 
Georgia  peach  crop  is  estimated  at  about 
8.300  carloads,  or  1.000  carloads  heavier 
than  last  year’s  shipments.  New  York 
usually  receives  about  one-third  of  the 
Georgia  peach  crop.  New  York  State 
shippers  still  continue  to  forward  a  few 
Baldwin  apples,  which  wholesaled  at 
$0  to  $0.50  a  barrel  for  the  best.  The 
market  on  new  potatoes  was  generally 
firm  to  steady,  South  Carolina  furnishing 
tin  bulk  of  arrivals,  most  of  them  being 
of  the  Irish  Cobbler  variety.  Old  pota¬ 
toes  were  dull,  best  Maine  Green  Moun¬ 
tains  moving  slowly  at  the  rate  of  about 
2c  a  pound.  Too  much  Virginia  cabbage 
was  received  to  keep  the  market  in  a 
healthy  condition,  and  asparagus  dropped 
after  a  few  days  of  continuous  hot  weath¬ 
er.  Lettuce  supplies  increased  until  there 
were  quite  liberal  offerings  from  Cali¬ 
fornia  and  Netv  Jersey,  and  the  market 
on  the  latter  stock  dropped  75c  to  $1  a 
crate  of  two  dozen.  Onions  held  about 
steady,  but  very  few  were  offered  from 
Eastern  States,  Georgia  and  New  Jersey 
having  just  opened  up  the  season.  Peas 
were  very  slow  as  supplies  were  exces¬ 
sive,  with  considerable  poor  stock  among 
i he  receipts.  Rhubarb  is  about  done  in 
New  Jersey,  and  the  New  York  State 
product  sold  fairly.  Very  little  attention 
was  paid  to  radishes,  and  spinach  has 
been  selling  slowly  at  low  prices. 
EGGS  AND  POULTRY 
Egg  receipts  have  been  heavier  than 
the  current  needs  of  the  trade  required, 
and  there  has  been  considerable  surplus, 
much  of  which  has  gone  into  the  ware¬ 
houses  to  the  shippers’  account.  Prices 
have  declined  a  little,  especially  on  aver¬ 
age  offerings,  and  local  dealers  are  re¬ 
ported  as  not  buying  very  heavily  for 
storage  purposes  unless  prices  meet  their 
ideas  of  a  safe  investment.  The  egg  mar¬ 
ket  this  season  was  very  late  in  starting, 
but  during  the  past  month  receipts  have 
been  more  liberal  and  the  big  shortage  in 
storage  holdings  which  existed  the  first 
of  May.  amounting  to  about  254,000  cases 
for  New  York  City,  had  been  reduced  by 
.Tune  3  to  about  34.600  cases  short  of 
last  year's  holdings.  On  June  3,  cold 
storage  holdings  for  New  York  City  were 
1.338,739  cases,  according  to  government 
reports.  Total  receipts  of  eggs  from  Jan¬ 
uary  1  to  June  4  for  New  Yrork  has 
reached  the  4.000.000  mark,  which  ex¬ 
ceeds  the  1922  receipts  to  the  same  date 
by  about  37.000  cases.  A  comparatively 
few  nearby  eggs,  very  closely  selected  as 
io  color  of  shell,  yolk,  size  and  quality, 
met  a  fair  demand  at  top  quotations,  but 
the  bulk  of  the  offerings  were  more  or 
less  irregular  in  quality  and  sold  at  cor¬ 
respondingly  lower  prices. 
The  not  unexpected  drop  in  live  fowls 
occurred  last  week.  Receipts  were  heav¬ 
ier,  and  with  warm  weather  prevailing, 
there  was  some  carry-over  stock  and  the 
market  weakened.  Live  broilers  were  a 
little  irregular,  the  market  showing  more 
activity  during  the  period  for  week-end 
sales,  which  occur  on  Thursday  and  Fri¬ 
day.  the  best  market  days  for’  live  poul¬ 
try.  Turkeys  have  had  a  slow  sale.  Long 
Island  ducks  were  lower,  but  old  roosters 
sold  well.  Receipts  of  dressed  poultry 
were  larger  last  week  and  the  market 
weakened  on  fowl  and  broilers,  a  few 
extra  fancy  nearby  and  Virginia  bringing 
as  high  as  50c  a  pound,  but  most  sales 
were  well  under  this  figure.  Cold  storage 
holdings  of  all  poultry  in  New  York 
have  been  reduced  from  over  20.500.000 
lbs.  on  May  2  to  about  15.360.000  lbs.  on 
June  3,  leaving  about  1.450,000  lbs.  more 
on  hand  than  were  reported  for  last  year 
on  the  same  date. 
HAT  AND  STRAW 
The  hay  market  has  been  quiet.  Very 
little  No.  1  hay  is  coming  in,  and  the  hulk 
of  the  hay  is  moving  slowly.  Rye  straw 
is  averaging  about  $1  per  ton  lower  than 
last  week  and  having  slow  sale  at  the 
lower  price.  The  continued  dry  weather 
is  seriously  affecting  the  new  hay  crop.
