The  RURAL  NEW-YORKER

Market  News  and  Price 
Review  of  the  New  York  Produce  Market 
(Supplied  by  New  Jersey  State  Department  of 
Agriculture,  Bureau  of  Markets) 
The  early  apple  season  started  out  at 
around  $3  to  $3.25  per  bu.  for  large,  well- 
graded  Yellow  Transparent,  but  receipts 
from  Maryland,  Delaware  ana  New  Jer¬ 
sey  increased  from  about  a  dozen  carj 
loads  the  first  week  in  July  to  about  45 
carloads  the  following  week.  There  has 
been  a  fairly  good  demand  for  large  well- 
graded  apples,  but  it  was  impossible  to 
prevent  the  downward  trend  in  the  mar¬ 
ket  with  so  much  small  and  inferior  stuff 
coming  in,  and  on  the  17th  $2  per  bu.  was 
a  good  price  for  them.  The  peach- market 
was  fairly  satisfactory,  considering  the 
liberal  offerings.  The  demand  was  good 
for  good  quality  peaches,  and  prices 
showed  some  improvement.  Cherries 
were  generally  dull  and  the  currant  mar¬ 
ket  weak.  Most  of  the  raspberries  com¬ 
ing  in  were  poor  and  hard  to  sell,  while 
huckleberries  sold  on  a  weak  market  due 
to  heavy  receipts.  Potato  receipts  were 
heavy  last  week,  causing  a  downward 
trend  to  the  market  until  toward  the  close 
when  a  stronger  tone  developed  with  the 
improved  demand.  The  Virginia  potato 
crop  will  be  much  smaller  than  a  year 
ago,  about  3,250,000  bu.  short,  according 
to  the  latest  government  estimates,  but 
this  has  been  partly  made  up  in  higher 
prices.  Best  Eastern  Shore  of  Virginia 
potatoes  sold  on  the  17th  at  $4  to  $5  per 
bbl.,  compared  with  $2  to  $2.25  per  bbl.  a 
year  ago.  New  Jersey  has  only  a  little 
over  one-third  of  last  year’s  crop,  New 
York  State  is  reported  about  5,000,000 
bu.  short,  while  Maine,  the  only  State  to 
have  a  larger  estimate  than  last  year, 
shows  an  increase  of  about  5,300,000  bu. 
The  total  estimate  for  the  United  States 
for  July  1  is  reported  at  381,726,000  bu., 
compared  with  451,185,000  bu.,  the  De¬ 
cember  estimate  for  1922.  Dong  Island 
potatoes  were  reported  last  week  for  the 
first  time  this  season,  selling  at  $5  to 
$5.50  per  bbl.  Cabbage  slumped  badly, 
although  receipts  were  light.  Tomatoes 
of  good  quality  were  in  good  demand 
throughout  the  week,  and  prime  sweet 
corn  held  up  fairly  well.  Lettuce  was 
very  irregular,  with  the  bulk  of  the  offer¬ 
ings  inferior  in  quality,  the  market  drag- 
gy  and  low  prices  were  the  rule.  Pep¬ 
pers  have  sold  at  unusualy  high  figures, 
Jerseys  selling  at  $1.50  per  bu.  a  year 
ago  compared  with  recent  prices  of  $4.50 
per  bu.  New  York  State  peas  about  held 
their  own.  ^  Some  strawberries  continue 
to  arrive  from  the  Oswego  section  of 
New  York  State,  but  the  demand  was  a 
light  one,  as  plenty  of  other  fruit  is  now 
available.  Onions  were  generally  quiet. 
EGGS  AND  POULTRY 
The  cold  storage  report  issued  by  the 
United  States  Bureau  of  Agricultural 
Economics  showed  that  stocks  in  the 
United  States  amounted  to  10,208,000 
cases  is  the  largest  cold  storage  holdings 
on  record,  surpassing  the  high  record  of 
August  1  last  year  by  over  45,000  cases. 
This  undoubtedly  had  some  effect  on  the 
trend  of  the  market.  Prices  began  an 
upward  movement  about  three  weeks  ago 
when  offerings  of  fancy  eggs  decreased. 
A  firm  market  prevailed  until  the  middle 
of  last  week,  when  clearings  were  not 
quite  as  prompt  as  they  had  been,  and 
price  ranges  widened.  With  the  recent 
advance  in  the  market,  dealers  have  had 
an  opportunity  to  unload  some  of  their 
short  held  eggs  at  a  profit,  and  with  the 
report  of  excessive  stocks  in  storage,  to¬ 
gether  with  the  disastrous  season  which 
some  experienced  a  year  ago  still  fresh  in 
their  minds,  they  were  prone  to  take  ad¬ 
vantage  of  the  situation.  Receipts  of 
Pacific  coast  eggs  were  also  more  liberal 
and  this  also  has  had  a  tendency  to  ease 
the  market  all  around. 
The  live  fowl  market  was  fairly  active, 
but  eased  off  a  little  on  account  of  the 
heavy  unloading.  The  demand  seems  to 
be  turning  to  the  heavy  fancy  fowl,  al¬ 
though  it  is  not  very  marked  as  yet. 
Express  live  broilers  declined  about  3c 
per  lb.  during  the  week,  but  later  recov¬ 
ered  slightly.  Receipts  increased  and  the 
demand  has  been  a  fairly  good  one,  but 
offerings  were  a  little  too  large  to  main¬ 
tain  former  price  levels.  The  market  on 
Dong  Island  Spring  ducks  showed  a 
slight  advance  during  the  week.  The  de¬ 
mand  for  fresh  killed  broilers  has  been 
for  well-grown  stock,  and  although  the 
market  has  generally  been  a  slow  one,  the 
stock  was  disposed  of  in  some  way.  Fresh 
killed  fowl  were  irregular,  a  little  ad¬ 
vance  halting  the  fairly  free  movement 
which  prevailed  earlier  in  the  week.  The 
government  report  on  cold  storage  poultry 
holdings  for  July  1  shows  an  average 
amount  of  broilers  and  miscellaneous 
poultry  in  the  warehouses,  but  fairly 
heavy  supplies  of  roasters  and  turkeys. 
HAY  AND  STRAW 
Good  hay  has  been  scarce  and  wanted, 
but  plenty  of  poor  hay  was  available  and 
dragged  rather  heavily.  A  little  heavy 
clover  mixed  hay  has  been  coming  in,  but 
there  was  not  much  call  for  it.  Straw  was 
slow.  Most  of  the  1922  hay  crop  has 
been  marketed,  according  to  government 
reports,  what  surplus  there  is  left  being 
mostly  in  New  York  and  Wisconsin.  Es¬ 
timates  of  the  1923  crop  are  not  quite  as 
favorable  as  the  1922  yield,  according  to 
the  same  report,  especially  for  clover  hay. 
The  Alfalfa  Crop  will  be  about  average, 
and  the  Timothy  crop  about  80  per  cent 
of  normal.  b.  w.  S.
