Review  of  Philadelphia  Produce  Market 
(Supplied  by  New  Jersey  State  Department  of 
Agriculture,  Bureau  of  Markets) 
•Supplies  of  fruits  and  vegetables  have 
not  been  particularly  heavy  during  the 
past  week,  but  the  market  has  been  dull 
and  generally  weak,  prices  on  several 
commodities  slumping  badly.  New  Jersey 
tomatoes  brought  good  prices  all  the  sea¬ 
son  until  last  week,  when  heavy  receipts 
brought  the  market  down  with  a  crash. 
Early  in  the  week  20-qt.  crates  were 
bringing  $4  to  $5,  and  %-bu,  baskets  $3 
to  $4.50,  but  on  the  23d  many  tomatoes 
were  selling  at  canners’  prices,  25  to  30c 
per  %-bu.  basket,  although  some  fancy 
“second  earlies”  brought  $1  to  $1.50  per 
basket.  String  beans  also  slumped  badly. 
Recent  offerings  have  shown  a  wide  range 
in  quality  and  as  considerable  quantities 
of  poor  stock  always  hurt  the  sale  of  a 
good  product,  receivers  deemed  them¬ 
selves  fortunate  to  get  50  to  00c  per  bas¬ 
ket  for  green  beans  the  last  of  the  week, 
many  of  them  selling  for  “much  less.  Pep 
pers,  selling  early  in  the  week  at  $2  per 
basket,  were  soon  down  to  about  $1,  and 
cucumbers  fared  but  little  better.  New 
Jersey  eggplant  were  more  plentiful, 
eliminating  the  Florida  product  to  a  large 
extent.  Onions  were  generally  draggy  un¬ 
til  late  in  the  week  when  a  firmer  tone 
and  a  25c  advance  was  reported,  No.  1 
yellow  stock  selling  90c  to  $1.25  per  %- 
bu.  basket.  Cabbage  held  about  steady, 
and  sweet  corn  changed  very  little,  best 
selling  around  $1  per  basket.  Compara¬ 
tively  few  vegetables  have  been  coming  m 
from  other  than  nearby  States.  _  New 
York  State  growers  have  been  shipping 
Telephone  peas  which  sold  at  $1.50  to  $2 
per  bu. -basket.  Lettuce  was  also  received, 
but  low  prices  prevailed,  due  largely  to 
average  poor  quality.  Maryland  and  Del¬ 
aware  Lima  beans  brought  $4  to  $5  per 
bu.,  and  the  New  Jersey  product  $2.75  to 
$3.50  per  %-bu.  basket.  Receipts  of 
Maryland  and  Virginia  potatoes  have 
been  fairly  liberal,  but  the  increasing 
supply  from  New  Jersey  had  its  effect 
on  tlie  market,  and  prices  declined  to 
about  $4  per  bbl.  .Shipments  from  the 
Eastern  Shore  of  Virginia  totaled  about 
9,000  carloads  to  July  23,  compared  with 
12,000  carloads  in  1922.  Early  apples 
have  been  very  draggy,  supplies  increas¬ 
ing  rapidly  from  Delaware,  Maryland  and 
New  Jersey,  and  within  a  week  prices 
have  been  cut  in  half,  Delaware  Trans¬ 
parent  and  various  varieties  of  red  ap¬ 
ples  selling  on  the  23d  at  75c  to  $1  per 
bu.  Moderate  quantities  of  blackberries 
and  huckleberries  continue  to  come  in, 
best  selling  around  20  to  22c  per  qt. 
New  York  State  cherries  held  fairly 
steady  at  60  to  65c  per  4-qt.  climax  bas¬ 
ket  for  good  fruit.  Georgia  peaches  have 
been  in  fair  demand,  and  the  market 
showed  a  little  improvement.  Elbertas 
are  beginning  to  arrive,  the  best  of  which 
commanded  $2  to  $2.50,  fancy  $3,  per  6- 
basket  carrier.  Early  varieties  of 
peaches  are  now  coming  from  New  Jer¬ 
sey,  but  most  of  them  have  been  only  or¬ 
dinary,  consequently  selling  at  compara¬ 
tively  low  prices. 
EGGS  AND  POULTRY 
Heavy  receipts  of  eggs  early  in  the 
week  and  the  indifference  of  the  trade 
caused  the  market  to  weaken.  The  sup¬ 
ply  of  strictly  fresh  eggs  was  light,  how¬ 
ever,  and  later  in  the  week  recoveries 
nearly  equaled  the  early  depression,  near¬ 
by  and  Western  extra  firsts  selling  at  28 
to  2814c  per  doz.  on  the  24th.  With  the 
bulk  of  the  offerings  being  made  up  of 
unattractive  stock,  it  has  been  difficult 
to  get,  rid  of  the  inferior  eggs,  seconds 
selling  as  low  as  21c  per  doz. 
There  has  been  practically  no  change 
in  live  fowls  for  some  time.  The  market 
has  been  rather  quiet  of  late,  but  prices 
on  fowl  held  steady  at  28  to  29c  per  lb. 
for  live  Plymouth  Rocks  and  27  to  28c  for 
mixed  breeds,  not  including  the  White 
Leghorns.  These  were  at  the  bottom  of 
the  list,  ranging  23  to  25c  per  lb.  Live 
broiler  receipts  increased  and  the  market 
dropped  about  5c  per  lb.  during  the  week, 
fancy  stock  selling  41  to  43c  per  lb., 
while  some  small  White  Leghorns,  which 
were  too  plentiful,  sold  as  low  as  31c  per 
lb.  Fresh-killed  fowl  of  fine  quality  sold 
on  a  firm  market  at  26  to  27c  per  lb.  for 
4  to  5-lb.  sizes.  Broilers  held  steady  until 
late  in  the  week,  when  supplies  increased 
considerably  and  prices  dropped  about  6c 
per  lb.  on  the  best  stock,  ranging  after 
the  decline  40  to  46c  for  nearby  and  40  to 
43c  per  lb.  for  Western  fresh-killed  broil¬ 
ers.  Receipts  of  dressed  poultry  by  Phil¬ 
adelphia  receivers  amount  to  about  9,571,- 
953  lbs.  since  January  1,  or  about  6O0.OOO 
lbs.  more  than  for  the  same  period  last 
year,  while  cold  storage  holdings  of 
dressed  poultry  in  Philadelphia  are  about 
700.000  lbs.  greater,  according  to  govern¬ 
ment  reports. 
HAY  AND  STRAW 
There  has  been  some  improvement  in 
the  demand  for  the  better  grades  of  hay. 
and  the  market  has  been  kept  well 
cleared  of  the  finer  qualities,  No.  1  Tim¬ 
othy  ruling  firm  at  $25  per  ton  ;  No.  2 
selling  at  $23  to  $24  per  ton.  Some  of 
the  best  light  clover  mixed  was  reported 
at  $22  to  $23  per  ton.  and  No.  1  straight 
rye  straw  held  steadily  at  $23  per  ton. 
New  York  State  and  New  England  are 
more  fortunate  than  many  of  the  neigh¬ 
boring  States,  their  prospects  being  good 
t  New 
for  an  average  crop  of  hay,  while  New 
Jersey,  Pennsylvania  and  the  coastal 
States  south  nearly  to  North  Carolina 
are  reporting  a  severe  cut  due  to  the 
drought.  Pasture  is  also  short  in  most 
of  these  States.  A  short  hay  crop  is  also 
expected  in  many  of  the  important  dairy 
States  in  the  Middle  West.  b.  w.  s.
