Review  of  Philadelphia  Produce  Market 
(Supplied  tty  New  Jersey  State  Department  of 
Agriculture,  Bureau  of  Markets.) 
A  great  deal  of  the  vegetable  supply 
for  Philadelphia  consumers  is  now  com¬ 
ing  from  the  nearby  Pennsylvania  and 
New  Jersey  farms.  Drought  has  seri¬ 
ously  affected  the  production  of  many  of 
the  crops,  not  only  materially  cutting  the 
yield,  but  affecting  the  quality  also.  This 
is  especially  true  of  strawberries,  the  big 
crop  expected  in  New  Jersey  earlier  in 
the  season  did  not  materialize,  conse¬ 
quently  receipts  have  been  relatively  light 
and  the  berries  have  sold  at  a_wide  range 
in  price,  best  selling  up  to  25c  a  quart, 
but  many  of  them  ranging  from  4  to  10c 
a  quart.  The  season  for  New  Jersey 
peas  will  evidently  be  shorter  than  usual 
on  account  of  the  dry  weather,  and  the 
market  for  good  quality  peas  has-been 
firm.  June  peas  selling  at  from  75c  to 
$1.25  per  %-bu.  basket,  and  the  Tele¬ 
phone  variety  at  from  $1.25  to  $1.(5,  oc¬ 
casionally  $2  per  'i£t-bu.  basket.  During 
the  four  or  five  days  of  hot  weather  as¬ 
paragus  dropped  to  the  lowest  price  levels 
of  the  season,  but  about  normal  for  mid¬ 
season.  The  market  has  since  strength¬ 
ened  sliglitlv.  fancy  asparagus  ranging 
from  30  to  35e,  a  little  selling  up  to  4oc 
1  ° r  bunch,  averaging  about  2%  lbs.,  and 
(■•ills  selling  as  low  as  5c  a  bunch.  Let- 
tuce  moved  slowly  at  irregular  prices 
Pennsylvania  lettuce  in  barrels  ranged 
from  75c  to  $2.50.  mostly  $1.25  to  $LoO, 
according  to  quality,  and  New  Jersey  let¬ 
tuce  in  crates  holding  two  dozen  heads 
selling  at  about  the  same  range  of  prices, 
the  smaller  package  being  preferred  by 
many  buyers.  Quantities  of  small  'veg¬ 
etables.  such  as  radishes,  beets,  rhubarb, 
parsley,  etc.,  have  been  coming  in  and 
were  gradually  absorbed  by  the  trade, 
vrith  si  mam  fresh  vegetables  available, 
spinach  and  kale,  popular  greens  early 
i  i  the  season,  were  but  little  wanted. 
Pennsylvania  and  New  Jersey  cherries 
have  begun  to  come  in,  sour  cherries 
ranging  chiefly  10  to  ISc,  and  sweet  va¬ 
rieties  mostly  10  to  13c  a  quart.  Bar¬ 
reled  apples  have  been  cleaning  up  slowly 
from  out  of  cold  storage.  New  York  Ben 
Davis  selling  around  $4  a  barrel.  Receipts 
of  cantaloupes  from  California  and  1  ex- 
as.  principally  from  the  former  State,  are 
on  the  increase;  and  Georgia  watermel¬ 
on*  and  peaches  also  help  to  lend  variety 
to  the  fruit  market,  Georgia  peaches  sell¬ 
ing  on  the  12th  $1.50  to  $2  per  6-basket 
carrier  of  medium  to  large  sizes  of  the 
Uneeda  variety.  Old  potatoes  met  a  lim¬ 
ited  demand,  the  new  crop  supplying  the 
market.  South  Carolina  is  now  shipping 
the  bulk  of  the  new  potatoes,  but  \  ir- 
ginia  growers  have  already  forwarded  a 
few  carloads  from  the  Norfolk  and  Past¬ 
ern  Shore  sections.  Rest  South  Caro¬ 
lina  stock  sold  around  $5  a  barrel.  1  ir- 
ginia  cabbage  continues  to  sell  at  low 
prices,  and  Texas  onions  moved  slowly, 
Texas  crates  bringing  $2.25  to  $2.65. 
String  beans  sold  on  a  weak  market,  Vir¬ 
ginia  5-peck  hamper  selling  at  $3  for  wax 
and  $3.50  to  $3.75  for  green  beans  late  in 
the  week.  Florida  tomatoes  sold  well. 
dined  to  25c  per  lb.  The  cold  storage 
holdings  are  considerably  heavier  than  a 
year  ago. 
HAY  AND  STRAW 
The  Timothy  hay  market  held  firm, 
with  most  sales  reported  at  $23  a  ton. 
occasionally  a  little  more  being  received 
for  very  good  quality  hay,  while _best 
light  ciover  mixed  averaged  $21.50  a 
ton.  No.  1  rye  straw  was  barely  steady 
at  $26  to  $26.50  a  ton.  and  best  wheat 
and  oat  straw  were  quoted  at  mostly  $15 
a  ton.  b.  w.  s.

ROCHESTER 
EGGS  AND  POULTRY 
There  has  been  a  fairly  good  demand 
for  really  fancy  eggs,  which  sold  chiefly 
at  2714c  a  dozen  until  late  in  the  week, 
when  they  dropped  to  26c-  for  nearby  and 
Western  extra  firsts.  The  hot  weather 
affected  the  quality  of  the  eggs,  and  tine 
stock  was  often  scarce,  .while  the  bulk  of 
the  offerings  sold  at  comparatively  low 
prices,  nearby  firsts  wholesaling  on  the 
llrh  at  221/4c,  and  seconds  as  low  as  20c 
a  dozen.  Egg  receipts  were  considerably 
heavier  last  week  than  for  the  week  pre¬ 
cious.  The  total  receipts  from  January 
1  to  June  10  were  reported  at  940,576 
cases,  compared  with  1,059.957  cases  a 
year  ago,  while  receipts  for  New  York 
and  Chicago  were  slightly  heavier,  the 
late  start  made  in  the  Spring  having  been 
overcome  by  heavy  receipts  during  the 
month  of  May  and  the  first  part  of  June. 
Considerable  interest  was  manifested  by 
egg  shippers  and  receivers  in  the  June 
report  of  cold  storage  holdings  issued  by 
the  United  Stales  Department  of  Agri¬ 
culture.  They  were  much  larger  than 
generally  anticipated  by  the  trade,  the 
preliminary  figures  for  the  United  States 
showing  7,813,000  cases  on  hand,  com¬ 
pared  with  8,056.000  cases  a  year  ago,  or 
only  a  shortage  of  243,000  cases,  and 
such  news  evidently  had  a  depressing  ef¬ 
fect  on  the  market.  Last  year’s  holdings 
were  unprecedented  and  the  June  1  fig¬ 
ures  are  about  1.500.000  cases  above  the 
five-year  average. 
Plenty  of  live  poultry  was  received  last 
week,  especially  as  hot  weather  affects 
the  demand  for  live  fowl.  The  market 
on  fancy  live  fowl  fell  off  about  3c  per 
lb.,  selling  the  last  of  the  week  at  25  to 
26c  per  lb.,  and  best  White  F.eghorns 
brought  about.  22c  per  lb.  Fancy  live 
Plymouth  Rock  broilers  weighing  2  lbs. 
held  steady  at  56  to  58c  per  lb.,  but 
White  I.eghorns  of  the  same  weight  only 
brought  38  to  40c,  with  poor  stock  selling 
as  low  as  30c-  per  lb.  Dressed  poultry 
was  in  moderate  supply  and  market  gen¬ 
erally  steady.  Fresh  killed  barreled 
packed  fowl  averaged  about  29c  when  dry 
picked  and  weighing  4  to  5  lbs.  apiece.
