Review  of  the  New  York  Produce  Market 
Early  apple  receipts  have  increased 
considerably  during  the  past  week,  and 
with  most  of  the  stock  only  ordinary  in 
quality  the  movement  has  been  slow. 
Maryland.  Delaware  and  Southern  New 
Jersey  have  been  the  sources  of  supply, 
the  fancy  Williams  Red  and  Wealthy 
from  the  former  States,  and  large  well- 
graded  New  Jersey  Stars  bringing  the 
top  prices.  Receipts  of  Georgia  peaches 
have  been  quite  heavy,  amounting  to  over 
330  carloads  during  the  last  week  in  July, 
and  there  were  also  scattering  shipments 
received  from  various  other  sources, 
bringing  the  total  up  to  nearly  450  car¬ 
loads  for  the  week.  Georgia  Elbertas 
sold  mostly  around  $2  per  six-basket  car¬ 
rier  the  last  of  July,  with  some  fancy 
bringing  $2.50  to  $2.75  per  carrier.  New 
Jersey  growers  have  been  shipping  small 
lots  of  early  peaches  for  some  time,  and 
they  have  just  started  in  marketing  Car¬ 
mans,  the  movement  of  which  is  expected 
to  be  considerably  heavier  next  week. 
New  York  State  growers  are  still  ship¬ 
ping  a  few  cherries,  but  they  found  a 
dull  market  and  the  few  scattering  lots 
of  pears  arriving  moved  slowly.  Fancy 
blackberries  moved  fairly  well  and  huckle¬ 
berries  eased  off  a  little  under  heavier  of¬ 
ferings.  Potato  receipts  were  compara- 
tively  light  last  week,  amounting  to  about 
300  carloads,  or  one-half  the  amount  re¬ 
ceived  the  week  previous.  The  movement 
has  been  slow  and  the  market  dull.  The 
bulk  of  the  shipments  have  been  coming 
from  the  Eastern  Shore  of  Virginia  and 
Maryland,  but  these  sections  will  soon  be 
cleaning  up.  This  will  leave  the  Eastern 
markets  to  be  supplied  mostly  by  New 
Jersey  and  Long  Island  growers  until 
New  York  State,  Pennsylvania  and  some 
of  the  middle  Western  States  start  dig¬ 
ging.  Yields  in  South  Jersey  are  not  as 
heavy  as  expected  earlier  in  the  season, 
according  to  reports,  and  growers  in  cen¬ 
tral  areas  are  beginning  to  ship  and  are 
getting  rather  small  crops  also.  Recent 
rains  came  too  late  to  be  of  much  benefit. 
Peas  have  been  selling  well,  but  lettuce 
has  been  dull  and  prices  low.  Tomatoes 
met  a  dull  market  early  in  the  week,  but 
later  stock  moved  fairly.  String  beans 
were  weak  and  generally  slow,  about  the 
only  exception  being  some  fancy  stock 
from  the  up-river  section  of  New  York 
State  which  has  just  begun  to  come  in. 
( )nions  were  quiet  with  plenty  of  them 
available.  Massachusetts.  Pennsylvania 
and  Orange  County,  of  New  York,  have 
started  shipping,  although  the  bulk  of 
them  are  still  coming  from  New  Jersey. 
Celery  was  dull  and  very  few  good  Lima 
beans  were  to  be  had,  and  the  trade  was 
not  interested  in  the  poor  stock. 
EGGS  AND  POULTRY 
There  has  been  some  improvement  in 
the  movement  of  eggs  during  the  past 
week.  Receipts  have  continued  to  de¬ 
crease,  likewise  the  proportion  of  fancy 
stock,  and  the  improved  demand  has 
caused  a  little  advance  in  prices  on  fresh 
stock.  Dealers  have  been  using  consid¬ 
erable  quantities  of  storage  eggs,  more 
than  during  July  last  year,  as  marketing 
conditions  have  been  favorable  for  the  use 
of  some  of  the  finer  qualities  of  short  held 
storage  stock.  It  has  been  difficult,  how¬ 
ever,  to  get  top  prices  even  for  fancy 
fresh  eggs,  as  buyers  have  been  very  crit¬ 
ical  and  the  eggs  had  to  meet  the  full  re¬ 
quirements  of  the  grade  wanted  before 
the  buyer  showed  much  interest.  Re¬ 
ceipts  since  January  1  are  about  the  same 
as  a  year  ago,  and  cold  storage  holdings 
in  New  York  on  July  29  show  practically 
no  difference  from  those  on  hand  on  the 
same  date  last  year.  Just  what  the  cold 
storage  report  for  August  1  will  be  is  a 
matter  of  speculation.  That  the  holdings 
will  be  large  there  is  no  doubt,  but  re¬ 
ports  indicate  that  the  accumulations 
during  July  will  not  be  as  heavy  as  last 
year,  although  some  surplus  is  to  be  ex¬ 
pected. 
The  freight  market  is  the  dominating 
factor  in  poultry  as  a  rule.  Early  in  the 
week  receipts  were  very  light,  and  both 
freight  and  express  live  fowl  sold  well, 
but  later  receipts  were  heavy  and  the 
market  eased  off  considerably.  Light 
fowl  are  getting  into  disfavor  more  than 
ever,  the  demand  now  being  for  heavy 
colored  stock.  White  Leghorn  fowls  were 
generally  inferior,  and  these  dragged 
rather  badly.  Live  broiler  receipts  in¬ 
creased  also,  but  at  no  time  were  they 
in  excessive  supply,  and  prices  changed 
very  little.  Long  Island  ducks  were  re¬ 
ported  to  be  moving  a  little  better,  and 
roosters  were  generally  firm  under  light 
offerings.  The  dressed  poultry  market 
showed  little  change.  Receipts  have  been 
moderate  and  trade  generally  slow.  Re¬ 
ceipts  of  Virginia  broilers  were  rather 
heavy  and  many  were  put  into  storage, 
but  the  broiler  market  in  general  held 
about  steady. 
HAY  AND  STRAW 
Early  in  the  week  the  market  was 
pretty  well  cleared  of  the  poor  grades  of 
hay,  and  at  no  time  recently  has  there 
been  very  much  No.  1  hay  available,  and 
the  market  ruled  firm.  Later,  however, 
more  poor  hay  was  received,  buyers  held 
off  and  the  market  weakened  a  little. 
Some  new  hay  of  excellent  quality  has 
been  coming  in  which  was  being  held  on 
the  30th  for  $25  a  ton.  B.  w.  s.
