Market  News  and 
Review  of  the  New  York  Produce  Market 
(Supplied  by  New  Jersey  State  Department  of 
Agriculture,  Bureau  of  Markets) 
Probably  the  most  exciting  event  in  the 
fruit  trade  last  week  was  the  sale  of  a 
carload  of  Georgia  watermelons  for 
$1,000.  a  hitherto  unknown  price.  They 
were  Excells,  averaging  about  32  lbs. 
each.  The  Tom  Watson  variety,  26-28- 
lb.  average,  sold  on  the  same  day  at  $600 
to  $750  per  carload,  compared  with  $300 
to  $450  a  carload  a  year  ago.  The  high 
prices  are  due  to  much  lighter  receipts 
and  a  good  demand  this  season.  Georgia 
peaches  were  irregular,  the  market  clos¬ 
ing  weak  on  the  2d  under  more  liberal 
supplies.  A  few  New  Jersey  peaches 
were  offered  last  week  for  the  first  time 
this  season.  Strawberries  were  very  ir¬ 
regular  in  the  condition  of  the  stock  of¬ 
fered,  and  as  only  fancy  fruit  was  really 
wanted,  there  being  an  abundance  of 
other  fruit  available,  the  market  was  gen¬ 
erally  dull.  New  York  State  up-nvers 
bringing  the  highest  price.  A  good  sup¬ 
ply  of  cherries  came  from  New  Jersey 
and  the  up-river  section  of  New  York 
State,  and  early  in  the  week  a  fair  de¬ 
mand  was  reported,  but  later  a  quiet 
market  prevailed.  Berries  have  not  been 
coming  in  in  very  good  shape  on  account 
of  the  dry  weather,  and  the  movement 
was  not  particularly  satisfactory,  Penn- 
svlvania  and  North  Carolina  supplied 
most  of  the  huckleberries,  but  the  rasp- 
berries  were  a  New  Jersey  product.  Cali- 
fornia  cantaloupes  sold  well  and  pine¬ 
apples  moved  fairly.  Lemons  were  pushed 
up  by  the  demand  during  the  hot  weather 
and  as  yet  have  shown  little  evidence  ot 
coming  down  again.  Receipts  of ^  new  po¬ 
tatoes  were  fairly  liberal,  with  Norm 
and  South  Carolina  and  Virginia  growers 
contributing.  The  Carolinas,  however, 
are  about  through,  and  Virginia  will  soon 
have  the  field  to  herself,  until  New  Jersey 
begins  to  ship  in  volume.  Although  there 
were  some  fluctuations,  $4.50  to  $5  a  bar¬ 
rel  was  about  the  price  received  for  good 
No.  1  potatoes,  but  considerable  poor 
quality,  small  or  otherwise  undesirable 
stock,  came  in,  which  sold  at  much  lower 
figures.  Cabbage  strengthened  during  the 
week,  with  lighter  receipts  from  Mary¬ 
land  and  Eastern  Shore,  Jersey  cabbage 
topping  the  market.  New  York  State  let¬ 
tuce  receipts  were  quite  liberal_and  the 
market  weakened  to  50c  to  $1.25  a  crate 
for  Big  Boston  type.  There  was  a  mod¬ 
erate  demand  for  New  York  State  peas, 
the  market  holding  about  steady  at  $3  to 
$3.50  a  bushel  basket  for  the  best.  Fancy 
string  beans  have  had  a  fair  sale,  most  of 
the  stock  arriving  showing  a  wide  range 
in  quality  and  much  of  it  not  very  good 
Onions  were  dull  and  with  increased  sup¬ 
plies  from  New  Jersey  the  market  eased 
off  a  little  early  in  the  week,  holding 
about  steady,  No.  1  yellows  selling  gen¬ 
erally  $1.50  to  $1.75  per  bushel  hamper. 
Cucumbers  have  been  very  draggy.  To¬ 
matoes  sold  fairly  well,  but  the  tendency 
of  the  market  has  been  lower,  as  receipts 
were  liberal  from  Mississippi,  North  Car¬ 
olina  and  Texas.  The  New  Jersey  to¬ 
mato  season  opened  up  last  week. 
EGGS  AND  POULTRY 
With  an  increase  in  the  number  of  hens 
in  the  country  it  is  not  surprising  that 
receipts  of  eggs  in  the  big  markets  are 
heavy  this  year.  The  season  was  late  in 
starting,  the  supply  during  March  and 
April  being  much  smaller  than  usual,  but 
eggs  began  coming  in  in  May  at  good 
rate,  in  June  big  gains  were  made,  and 
the  difference  between  last  year’s  and 
this  year’s  receipts  was  materially  de¬ 
creased.  By  July  1  the  total  receipts 
since  January  1  in  the  four  leading  mar¬ 
kets,  New  York,  Chicago,  Philadelphia 
and  Boston,  was  nearly  equal  to  that  of 
last  year.  Cold  storage  holdings  in  these 
four  cities  are  not,  as  yet,  as  large  as  a 
year  ago  by  about  265,000  cases.  The 
June  storage  this  year  was  heavier  than 
a  year  ago,  and  it  seems  not  improbable 
that  before  the  season  is  done  cold  stor¬ 
age  reports  will  show  over  10,225,000 
cases  on  hand,  or  more  than  was  reported 
to  be  in  the  warehouses  on  August  1, 
1922.  The  quality  of  Western  eggs  has 
been  averaging  unusually  high  for  the 
season,  and  storage  stocks  this  year 
should  be  exceptionally  good  in  quality. 
The  arrivals  of  nearby  eggs  in  New  York 
is  decreasing  gradually,  as  are  to  be  ex¬ 
pected  at  this  time,  and  the  qualities  of¬ 
fered  irregular,  only  a  small  proportion 
being  fit  for  the  best  trade.  There  was 
a  fairly  good  demand  for  fancy  qualities 
and  prices  advanced  about  3c  a  dozen. 
Early  in  the  week  there  was  quite  a  sur¬ 
plus  of  medium  and  lower  grades  of  near¬ 
by  eggs,  but  these  have  been  cleaning  up 
better  of  late  at  irregular  prices. 
The  market  for  live  fowl  has  been  weak 
as  the  movement  throughout  the  country 
has  been  large  and  the  demand  has  not 
been  very  active  on  account  of  weather 
conditions.  On  the  other  hand,  broilers 
are  apt  to  move  a  little  better  during 
warm  weather  and  the  live  broiler  mar¬ 
ket  has  been  stetady  to  firm.  Fancy  col¬ 
ored  live  broilers  sold  generally  around 
50c  a  pound,  occasionally  2  or  3c  more 
being  received  for  something  especially 
nice.  White  Leghorns  also  worked  out 
well.  Old  roosters  held  steady..  Fresh 
killed  fowl  offerings  were  heavier,  and 
prices  dropped  and  considerable  quanti¬ 
ties  were  placed  in  storage.  Fresh  killed 
broilers  were  in  light  receipt  and  with 
the  usual  good  demand  just  before  the 
Fourth  of  July,  the  market  held  up  well. 
HAY  AND  STRAW 
There  seems  to  be  very  little  doing  in 
the  hay  market.  Practically  no  No.  1 
stock  is  offered  and  the  movement  on  me¬ 
dium  and  lower  grades  slow  and  market 
easy.  Rye  straw  was  plentiful,  especially 
from  New  Jersey,  and  market  weak.
