Agriculture,  Bureau  of  Markets) 
There  have  been  some  fluctuations  and 
many  changes  in  the  wholesale  fruit  and 
vegetable  market  during  the  past  week. 
Several  products  have  been  eliminated  by 
the  advancing  season  and  many  originate 
from  new  sources  of  production.  Straw¬ 
berries  are  through  and  practically  no 
good  asparagus  is  to  be  found.  Southern 
tomato  receipts  have  fallen  off  consider¬ 
ably  as  they  cannot  compete  with  the 
nearby  New  Jersey  product  which  is  now 
quite  plentiful.  Tennessee  is  still  send¬ 
ing  some,  but  Texas  and  Mississippi  are 
about  done  with  only  about  a  half  as 
many  shipments  as  last  year.  Green 
peas  are  coming  mostly  from  New  York 
State  as  well  as  the  cherries.  Summer 
apples  are  increasing  in  supply  while  the 
season  for  nearby  sweet  corn  and  peppers 
has  just  opened  up.  Delaware,  Maryland 
and  New  Jersey  are  the  principal  sources 
of  supply  for  early  apples  at  this  time 
of  year.  Most  of  the  apples  offered  have 
been  very  ordinary  and  the  demand  slow, 
but  some  good  apples  were  in  evidence, 
best  Starrs  bringing  $1.50  per  %  bu. 
basket;  No.  1  Transparents,  $1.25  to 
$l.o0  per  %  bu.  basket ;  and  $1.50  to 
$2  a  bushel  for  Delaware.  Cherry  sup¬ 
plies  were  fairly  light  and  the  market 
showed  some  strength,  New  York  sour 
cherries  in  four-quart  baskets  bringing 
40  to  75c.  but  soon  declining  to  about 
50c  a  basket.  New  York  State  growers 
are  also  supplying  most  of  the  peas  which 
show  a  wide  range  in  quality  and  condi¬ 
tion,  the  best  bringing  around  $2.50  a 
bushel.  Currants  were  slow  at  13  to 
15c  a  quart,  occasionally  ISc  being 
realized.  Supplies  of  blackberries  de¬ 
creased  and  the  quality  was  mostly  in¬ 
ferior,  the  best  selling  at  15  to  18c  a 
quart.  The  market  since  the  fourth  has 
been  generally  firm  on  Georgia  peaches. 
Ilileys  and  Carmans  were  the  most  com¬ 
mon  varieties  offered,  on  the  ninth  the 
former  selling  $1.50  to  $2.50  and  the 
latter  $1  to  $1.50  per  six-basket  carrier. 
The  Hiley  season  has  passed  its  peak,  the 
season  for  Belles  has  opened  up  ami  a 
few  Elbertas  have  already  been  shipped 
from  Georgia.  A  few  Delaware  and  New 
Jersey  early  peaches  were  also  offered, 
but  they  were  mostly  small  and  met  a 
slow  demand.  Cabbage  receipts  increased 
and  market  weakened  although  the  de¬ 
mand  generally  was  fairly  good.  Green 
beans  sold  steadily  at  $2  to  $2.25  per 
%  bushels  for  the  best,  and  peppers 
brought  good  prices,  selling  well  at  $3  to 
$3.50  per  %  bu.  basket.  New  Jersey 
sweet  corn  started  the  season  at  excep¬ 
tionally  high  prices,  sales  ranging  from 
$1.50  to  $2.25  per  %  bu.  according  to 
quality,  and  these  values  were  fairly  well 
maintained  last  week.  Tomato  receipts 
from  nearby  reached  quite  liberal  propor¬ 
tions  for  a  few  days,  but  slackened  a 
little  later  and  prices  advanced  to  a 
range  of  $3.50  to  $5  per  %  bu.  basket 
for  prime  quality  stock.  They  again 
eased  off  on  the  tenth,  high  prices  at¬ 
tracting  more  shipments  and  the  market 
declined  50  to  75c  a  basket.  Lettuce  was 
very  irregular  with  very  little  of  New 
York  State  Big  Boston  type  going  above 
a  dollar  a  crate  the  last  few  days.  Po¬ 
tato  receipts  were  generally  light,  but 
increased  to  heavy  late  in  the  week.  The 
demand  and  movement  has  been  good  with 
Eastern  Shore  of  Virginia  potatoes  sell¬ 
ing  around  $0.50  a  barrel  for  well  graded 
stock.  North  and  South  Carolina  are 
about  through  shipping  and  Virginia 
shipments  have  been  considerably  lighter 
than  for  either  1921  or  1922  and  it.  is 
not  unusual  to  hear  predictions  of  high 
prices  for  New  Jersey  potatoes  when 
they  come  into  the  market  a  little  later 
in  the  season. 
EGGS  AND  POULTRY 
Receipts  of  eggs  have  fallen  off  con¬ 
siderably  during  the  past  week  and  with 
the  advancing  season  there  has  also  been 
a  decrease  in  the  amount  of  really  fancy 
eggs  available.  This  has  resulted  in  a 
prompt  cleaning  up  of  fine  stock  and 
prices  showed  a  little  improvement  dur¬ 
ing  the  week,  ruling  firm  at  the  advance, 
selling  on  July  9  at  29  to  29-14 c  a  dozen 
for  nearby  and  Western  extras.  Most  of 
the  offerings,  however,  were  unattractive 
and  sold  slowly  at  correspondingly  low 
prices,  firsts  selling  at  26c  and  seconds 
as  low  as  22e  a  dozen.  Philadelphia 
dealers  are  not  loaded  up  as  heavily  with 
cold  storage  eggs  as  a  year  ago,  but  the 
preliminary  cold  storage  eggs  for  the 
United  States  as  reported  by  the  United 
States  Bureau  of  Agricultural  Economics 
for  July  1  show  10.213.000  cases  on 
hand  compared  with  9,S11.000  cases  a 
year  ago.  The  five-year  average  is  re¬ 
ported  at  7.661,000  cases. 
Live  fowl  have  been  in  fairly  good  de¬ 
mand  lately  and  last  week  was  no  ex¬ 
ception.  Good  to  fancy  stock  was  wanted 
and  prices  advanced  lc  a  pound,  holding 
firm  at  27  to  28c  for  fancy  Plymouth 
Rocks,  mixed  breeds  of  live  quality  sell¬ 
ing  a  cent  under  these  prices,  while  Leg¬ 
horns  ranged  20  to  25c  as  to  ouality.  Live 
broilers  held  steady  on  rather  a  ouiet 
market.  Fancy  Plymouth  Rock  broilers 
weighing  at  least  two  pounds  brought 
about  54c,  while  mixed  breeds  averaging 
about  1%  pounds  each  were  quoted  at 
45  to  48c.  The  White  Leghorns  sold 
considerably  under  these  figures,  the  best 
seldom  bringing  more  than  35c  with  the 
small  sizes  going  as  low  as  26c  a  pound. 
There  were  only  moderate  offerings  of 
fresh  dressed  poultry,  but  the  market  was 
quiet  and  prices  changed  very  little,  fresh 
killed  barreled  packed,  dry  picked  fowl 
averaging  about  4%  pounds  generally 
selling  26  to  27c.  Nearby  broiling  chic¬ 
kens  ranged  40  to  52c  as  to  quality,  or 
about  the  same  prices  as  received  for 
live  poultry,  making  it  a  more  profitable 
venture  for  nearby  poultry  shippers  to 
market  their  poultry  alive,  the  expense  of 
killing,  dressing,  etc.  being  eliminated. 
HAY  AND  STRAW 
There  was  very  little  change  in  the 
hay  situation.  A  scarcity  of  good  hay 
caused  the  market  to  rule  firm,  No.  1 
Timothy  selling  at  $24 ;  No.  1  light  clover 
mixed  at  $21  to  $22,  and  heavy  clover 
mixed  at  $17  a  ton.  Under  grades  were 
quiet.  No.  1  straight  rye  straw  was 
quoted  chiefly  at  $23  a  ton  and  wheat 
straw  about  $14.25  a  ton.  b.  w.  s.
