Review  of  Philadelphia  Produce  Market 
(Supplied  by  New  Jersey  State  Department  of 
Agriculture,  Bureau  of  Markets) 
At  this  season  of  the  year  carlot  re¬ 
ceipts  of  fruits  and  vegetables  make  up 
a  very  small  proportion  of  what  passes 
through  the  regular  channels  of  trade. 
Some  fruits  are  coming  from  the  South 
and  West  but  with  the  exception  of  let¬ 
tuce,  potatoes  and  onions,  there  are  very 
few  vegetables  now  being  received  from 
other  than  Pennsylvania  or  New  Jersey- 
New  York  State  has  shipped  fully  as 
much  lettuce  this  season  as  a  year  ago, 
the  acreage  being  somewhat  larger,  but 
for  the  past  week  it  has  met  a  weak  and 
low-priced  market  in  Philadelphia ;  best 
selling  on  the  sixth  up  to  65c  a  crate  of 
t  wo  dozen  heads.  Georgia  had  a  good 
crop  of  peaches,  the  shipments  about 
equalling  those  of  last  year,  and  up  to 
within  about  a  week  the  Georgia  peaches 
controlled  the  market.  During  the  past 
week  the  supply  of  New  Jersey  Carman 
peaches,  of  which  there  is  a  good  sized 
crop,  has  increased  and  have  affected  the 
market  on  the  Southern  peaches,  in  fact 
late  in  the  week  supplies  were  so  heavy 
that  the  market  was  practically  demora¬ 
lized.  only  the  best  bringing  50  to  75c 
per  %  bushel  basket  and  poor  stock  was 
not  wanted.  Georgia  peaches,  which  are 
later  varieties,  however,  held  up  to  $2.25 
to  $3.00  per  6-basket  carrier,  or  24 
quarts.  There  was  some  accumulation 
of  North  and  South  Carolina  water¬ 
melons  in  the  freight  yards,  due  to  then- 
slow  sale.  The  movement  on  onions  lias 
been  rather  light,  but  prices  held  fairly 
steady,  best  Massachusetts  yellow  onions 
selling  around  $3  per  100-pound  sack. 
The  New  Jersey  onion  crop  w-as  only 
about  50  per  cent  of  last  year’s  yield, 
consequently  shipments  have  been  about 
half  as  heavy  as  a  year  ago.  Canta¬ 
loupes  have  been  coming  from  many 
States  but  principally  from  California 
and  from  the  'States  north  of  South  Car¬ 
olina  to  Pennsylvania.  There  lias  been 
an  exceptionally  heavy  supply  of  nearby 
produce  during  the  past  few  days,  and 
the  market  to  all  appearances  has  been 
fairly  overloaded.  Only  the  good  apples 
have  been  moving,  so  much  poor  stuff  be¬ 
ing  around  that  the  trade  would  not  take 
hold  of  it.  Starrs  and  William  S.  Early 
Reds  were  the  best  sellers,  No.  1  rang¬ 
ing  from  60  to  90c  per  %  bushel  basket. 
Lima  beans  dropped  about  a  dollar  to 
$1  to  $1.25  per  %  bushel  basket.  Toma¬ 
toes  have  sold  fairly,  also  beets  and  car¬ 
rots  which  were  in  light  supply..  Pota¬ 
toes  have  declined  a  little,  Virginia  stock 
selling  around  $5  a  barrel  but  carlot  re¬ 
ceipts  were  rather  light  due  to  increased 
supplies  of  trucked-in  potatoes,  which 
average  $1  per  %  bu.  or  a  little  better 
for  No.  1  potatoes.  Quite  a  number  of 
cucumbers  were  received  from  New  Jer¬ 
sey  and  the  squash  acreage  in  that  State 
is  larger  than  usual.  Sweet  peppers 
have  been  selling  a  little  under  $1  per 
%  bushel  basket,  and  hot  peppers  brought 
up  to  $1.25  a  'basket.  Some  York  State 
peas  ranged  from  $1.50  to  $2  a  bushel 
on  the  sixth,  while  New  Jersey  string 
beans  sold  at  from  50  to  75c  per  % 
bushel,  and  limas  65c  to  $1.25  a  20- 
quart  basket,  while  a  few  Maryland  and 
Delaware  lima  beans  brought  $1  to  $1.25 
a  bushel  hamper. 
EGGS  AND  FOULTRY 
Eggs  received  during  the  month  of 
J  une  via  common  carriers  amounted  to 
about  196,000  cases,  according  to  govern¬ 
ment  reports,  the  report  for  July  showing 
a  decrease  of  nearly  65,000  cases.  Many 
of  the  States,  including  Iowa,  Kansas, 
Michigan,  and  Ohio,  which  supply  Phila¬ 
delphia  with  considerable  quantities  of 
eggs,  shipped  only  about  half  the  amount 
in  July  as  in  June.  Pennsylvania  and 
Virginia  showed  a  decrease  of  about  7,- 
000  cases  and  Maryland  was  about  1.000 
eases  short.  Illinois  was  the  only  State 
showing  any  material  increase,  supply¬ 
ing  nearly  33, (KM)  cases  of  eggs  or  nearly 
25  per  cent  of  the  total  receipts  for  the 
month  of  July.  The  decrease  in  the  sup¬ 
ply  of  fresh  eggs  causes  a  scarcity  of  the 
tiner  qualities  and  during  the  past  week 
the  market  advanced  2c,  to  32c  a  dozen 
on  nearby  and  Western  extra  firsts. 
Plenty  of  poor  quality  eggs  were  offered 
which  found  a  dull  market  at  irregular 
values,  seconds  selling  down  to  24c  a 
dozen.  The  government  preliminary  re¬ 
port  for  the  United  States  on  cold  stor¬ 
age  holdings  of  eggs  for  August  1  is  10,- 
390,000  cases,  showing  an  increase  since 
July  1  of  182,000  cases  and  an  excess 
over  a  year  ago  of  229.000  cases.  This 
five-year  average  is  reported  at  7,811.000 
cases  or  nearly  2.500.000  cases  less  than 
the  present  holdings. 
There  seems  to  have  been  only  a  lim¬ 
ited  demand  for  live  poultry  but  while 
offerings  have  not  been  large  they  have 
been  equal  to  the  demand.  No  import¬ 
ant  change  developed,  fancy  fat  Plymouth 
Rock  fowls  selling  at  the  highest  prices, 
27  to  28c  a  pound,  mixed  breeds  bringing 
about  lc  under  with  fancy  White  Leg¬ 
horns  averaging  21c  a  pound,  and  poor 
stock  selling  as  low  as  17c  a  pound.  Like¬ 
wise  the  Plymouth  Rock  broilers  found 
favor  over  all  competitors  and  the  heavier 
birds.  2  pounds  or  over,  brought  36  to 
38c.  mixed  colors  bringing  28  to  35c  as  to 
quality  with  Leghorns  selling  lower.  Fat. 
white  Pekin  ducks  were  steadily  held  at 
22  to  24c  a  pound.  The  dressed  poultry 
market  was  also  quiet,  fresh  killed  fowl, 
barreled  packed,  4  to  5  pounds,  selling 
moderately  at  28c.  Broiling  chickens 
ranged,  38  to  43c  a  pound  all  week  under 
moderate  demands,  while  nearby  duck¬ 
lings  were  quoted  24  to  25c  a  pound. 
HAY  AND  STRAW 
The  hay  market  has  been  a  firm  one, 
very  little  old  hay  of  desirable  quality 
was  available  and  prices  advanced  to  $27 
a  ton  for  No.  1  Timothy.  Some  new  hay 
has  been  coming  in  in  small  lots  selling 
from  $21  to  $24  a  ton  as  to  quafity. 
Light  clover  mixed  was  quoted  at  $25  a 
ton  for  the  best  and  rye  straw  held  steady 
at  $23  a  ton.  n.  tv.  s.

“Who  is  Thomas  A.  Edison?”  “He’s 
the  man  that  invented  the  phonograph  to 
keep  us  awake,  so  we  would  stay  up  all 
night  using  his  electric  lights.”— Judge.
