The  RURAL.  NEW-YORKER 
September  8,  1923 
Market  News  and 
Review  of  the  New  York  Produce  Market 
(Supplied  by  New  Jersey  State  Department  of 
Agriculture,  Bureau  of  Markets) 
This  is  the  season  of  the  year  when 
there  seems  to  be  an  over-abundance  of 
fruits  and  vegetables  in  the  markets,  and 
one  wonders  how  it  is  possible  to  dispose 
of  the  enormous  amount  of  produce 
stacked  on  the  docks,  on  the  sidewalks 
and  in  the  wholesale  houses  in  time  to  re¬ 
ceive  a  like  amount  with  the  coming  of 
another  day.  Apples,  peaches  and  musk- 
melons  seem  to  be  inviting  the  inspection 
of  the  buyers  everywhere,  and  small  and 
large  lots  of  all  kinds  of  vegetables  in  all 
conditions,  from  fancy  stock  put  up  with 
care  to  that  which  has  deteriorated  in 
transit,  or  has  been  held  over  until  al¬ 
most  worthless,  greets  the  eye  at  every 
turn.  Last  week  apples  were  very  plenti¬ 
ful,  mostly  early  varieties,  in  baskets  or 
hampers,  being  offered,  although  a  little 
barreled  stock  was  to  be  seen.  The  de¬ 
mand  has  been  moderately  active  for  fan¬ 
cy  well-colored  fruit,  but  ordinary,  and 
poor  stock  was  draggy.  Such  varieties 
as  Transparent,  l’ippin,  /Maiden  Blush 
and  Greening  sold  chiefly  from  $1  to 
.$1.50  per  bu.,  occasionally  some  extra 
fancy  lots,  or  a  variety  in  particularly 
good  demand,  as  the  Williams  Bed, 
brought  more,  and  there  was  plenty  of 
poor  to  ordinary  stock,  which  sold  under 
.$1  per  bu.  Crabapples  were  not  wanted 
unless  fancy,  and  the  trade  is  not  as  yet 
very  much  interested  in  grapes.  New 
Jersey  growers  have  been  shipping 
peaches  rather  freely,  and  States  a  little 
further  south  have  contributed  moderate¬ 
ly.  The  market  on  fancy  marks  contin¬ 
ued  to  be  fairly  good,  but  there  was  too 
much  green  and  small  stuff  on  the  mar¬ 
ket,  which  receivers  had  to  get  rid  of  as 
best  they  could.  Blackberries  have  been 
selling  fairly  well.  Trading  in  potatoes 
has  been  dull  and  receipts  light,  the  mar¬ 
ket  weakening  the  latter  part  of  the  week. 
Early  in  the  week  there  was  a  strong  f.  o. 
b.  market  in  New  Jersey,  and  some  grow¬ 
ers  held  for  higher  prices,  but  a  break 
came  about  the  25th  and  the  market 
slumped  rapidly  from  $4.50  to  $4.75  to 
less  than  $4  per  150-lb.  sack  for  best  Cob¬ 
blers.  The  New  Jersey  crop  is  estimated 
at  a  little  over  one-third  of  the  bumper 
crop  of  last  year,  and  these  estimates 
seem  to  be  borne  out  by  the  carlot  move¬ 
ment,  which  to  August  20  were  3,247  car¬ 
loads,  compared  with  9,512  carloads  to 
the  same  date  a  year  ago.  Over  80  per¬ 
cent  of  the  New  Jersey  Cobblers  are 
shipped,  according  to  estimates,  the  few 
that  are  left  being  mostly  in  the  southern 
counties.  Long  Island  potatoes  were  in 
light  receipt,  and  these,  as  usual,  topped 
the  market.  There  has  been  a  light  move¬ 
ment  of  carlots  from  nearly  all  potato 
producing  sections  as  far  north  as  New 
Brunswick,  but  they  have  not  really  got 
into  the  main  crop  in  the  northern  sec¬ 
tions  as  yet.  Lettuce  has  not  met  with 
much  favor,  and  celery  has  been  dull,  un¬ 
less  fancy.  Good  tomatoes  seemed  to  be 
moving  a  little  better  than  formerly.  Vir¬ 
ginia  cabbage  was  generally  poor,  and 
eggplant  has  been  slow.  Fancy  sweet 
corn  was  promptly  taken,  but  inferior 
corn  was  little  wanted. 
EGGS  AND  POULTRY 
The  egg  market  has  not  been  in  as  sat¬ 
isfactory  a  condition  as  one  might  expect 
who  has  followed  only  the  top  quotations 
for  nearby  and  t\Vestern  eggs  as  an  indi¬ 
cation  of  the  market.  While  fancy  near¬ 
by  eggs  have  cleared  well  at  about  steady 
prices,  the  medium  and  lower  qualities  of 
eggs,  especially  Western,  have  met  a 
slow  market.  Storage  eggs,  especially  the 
early  packs,  have  given  good  satisfaction, 
according  to  reports,  even  better  than 
many  lots  of  the  average  run  of  current 
receipts  with  which  they  have  been  com¬ 
peting,  and  considerable  quantities  of 
storage  eggs  have  been  used.  There  has 
also  been  a  weak  market  on  Pacific  Coast 
eggs,  as  dealers  have  evidently  been  un¬ 
loading  to  a  certain  extent  in  anticipation 
of  a  boatload  due  to  arrive  this  week  from 
the  Pacific  Coast.  This  has  resulted  in  a 
rather  dull  and  weak  market  for  any¬ 
thing  but  the  fancy  qualities,  and  even 
these  have  had  to  pass  the  inspection  of 
buyers  who  have  been  unusually  critical 
concerning  their  purchases. 
Two  weeks  ago  there  was  some  advance 
in  the  price  on  live  poultry,  which  causes 
shippers  to  send  more  this  way.  The  in¬ 
creased  offerings,  however,  were  well 
taken  care  of  by  the  trade,  as  the  demand 
has  been  active  for  anything  good,  espe- 
c-iallv  in  the  line  of  fowl.  September  11 
and  12  are  Hebrew  holidays.  New  Year, 
and  heavv  live  fowl,  turkeys  and  ducks 
are  in  good  demand  for  use  during  these 
holidays.  The  best  market  days  are  con¬ 
sidered  to  be  'September  6,  7  and  S.  In 
the  freight  market  28c  was  about  the  av¬ 
erage  price  for  live  fowl.  Some  express 
fowl  sold  at  30c-.  poor  stock  selling  sev¬ 
eral  cents  a  pound  lower,  and  undoubt¬ 
edly  there  were  some  premiums  paid  for 
some  lots  of  especially  fine  stock  hick  is 
not  unusual  on  any  market.  The  live 
broiler  market  was  a  firm  one.  excepting 
for  poor  and  inferior  stock,  which  dragged 
heavily.  The  receipts  of  dressed  poultry 
have  been  light  from  nearby,  but  plentiful 
from  other  sources.  The  demand  for 
choice  stock  has  been  good,  but  inferior 
grades  wcj'S  <fc&ggy» 
HAY  AND  STRAW 
Most  of  the  week  there  w-as  a  strong 
piarket  for  hay,  'but  recent  arrivals, 
which  have  been  more  liberal,  caused  the 
situation  to  ease  up  a  little.  Buyers 
have  been  looking  for  good  hay,  and  new 
hay  of  fine  quality  has  been  selling  on 
about  the  same  basis  as  old  stock.  Gov¬ 
ernment  reports  for  New  England  state 
that  the  hay  harvested  this  year  is  about 
up  to  standard  and  that  it  is  of  excellent 
quality,  with  the  possible  expection  of 
Aroostook  Co.,  Maine,  where  the  yield  is 
light.  Conditions  have  also  been  favor¬ 
able  for  the  harvesting  of  meadowlands  in 
New  England  which  will  augument  the 
upland  crop,  consequently  a  shortage  is 
unlikely  this  year  in  that  section  of  the 
country.  B.  w.  S.
