The  RURAL  NEW-YORKER 
M  a  r  k  e 
Review  of  Philadelphia  Produce  Market 
(Supplied  by  New  Jersey  State  Department  of 
Agriculture,  Bureau  of  Markets) 
The  apple  movement  has  shown  con¬ 
siderable  improvement  since  earlier  in 
the  season,  the  average  quality  of  apples 
being  better  as  the  Fall  and  Winter 
varieties  take  the  place  of  the  late  Sum¬ 
mer  fruit.  Although  a  great  many  ap¬ 
ples  were  trucked  in  from  nearby  farms, 
considerable  quantities  were  also  received 
from  New  York,  Pennsylvania,  Oregon 
and  Washington.  Maiden  Blush  from 
New  York  State  sold  at  $5.50  a  barrel, 
and  $1.25  to  $1.75  a  bushel  hamper,  while 
McIntosh  brought  $0.50  a  barrel.  Grimes 
Golden  were  reported  at  $4.50  to  $5  a 
barrel  and  $1.40  a  bushel.  As  the  offer¬ 
ings  of  New  Jersey  peaches  grew  lighter, 
moderate  supplies  were  |received  from 
New  York  State,  Pennsylvania,  Michigan, 
Idaho  and  other  Western  States,  good 
Elbertas  in  round  bushels  selling  at 
$2.25  to  $2.50  on  a  firm  market.  Con¬ 
siderable  quantities  of  Jersey  peaches 
were  put  in  cold  storage  for  a  few  days 
to  help  fill  the  gap  between  the  heavy 
shipping 'season  of  New  Jersey  peaches 
and  the  harvesting  of  the  main  crop  of 
peaches  in  New  York  State.  The  New 
York  peach  crop  is  not  coming  up  to 
earlier  expectations  due  chiefly  to  drought 
in  Western  New  York,  the  total  crop  for 
that  State  being  only  about  15  per  cent 
larger  than  the  1921  crop  according  to 
the  latest  government  estimates,  and 
about  60  per  cent  as  large  as  last  year’s 
crop.  Plums  and  grapes  moved  slowly. 
Concord  grapes  and  Damson  plums  selling 
G5  to  70c  per  12-qt.  basket.  A  good 
market  developed  during  the  week  for 
pears  and  New  York  State  Bartletts 
brought  $3.50  to  $3.75,  and  Anjous  about 
$2  a  bushel.  Lettuce  held  fairly  steady 
at  $1.25  to  $1.50  per  20-qt.  crate  for  the 
best  Big  Boston  variety.  There  has  been 
an  active  demand  for  onions,  probably 
selling  better  than  any  other  vegetable 
offered  during  the  week  with  York  State 
yellow  onions  advancing  25  to  40c  a 
sack  selling  at  $3.75  to  $4.15  a  sack. 
Sweet  potatoes  sold  well,  Eastern  Shore’s 
showing  some  improvement  in  prices,  ad¬ 
vancing  to  $3.50  a  barrel,  and  New 
Jersey’s  in  %  bushel  baskets  sold  around 
$1  a  basket.  The  Philadelphia  market 
has  been  fairly  good  for  well  graded  po¬ 
tatoes.  Long  Island  growers  shipped 
several  car  loads  to  the  local  market  and 
a  few  were  received  from  Maine,  many  of 
them  being  immature  from  the  latter 
State.  Long  Island  Green  Mountains 
topped  the  market  at  $4.15  to  $4.35  per 
150-lb.  sack,  while  Maine  Cobblers  aver¬ 
aged  about  $3.70  a  sack.  The  crop  esti¬ 
mate  for  September  1  for  the  United 
States  is  practically  the  same  as  the  five- 
year  average,  1918-1922  inclusive,  that 
is  390,000,000  bushels.  While  these  fig¬ 
ures  represent  an  average  crop,  it  would 
seem  that  actually  the  crop  was  a  little 
short  when  industrial  conditions,  in¬ 
crease  in  population,  etc.,  are  taken  into 
consideration.  In  the  Eastern  States, 
however,  Maine  is  about  the  only  one 
having  any  surplus  while  the  estimated 
production  for  Canada  is  reported  to  be 
about  the  same  as  last  year’s  yield. 
EGGS  AND  POULTRY 
Reports  of  egg  receipts  in  Philadelphia 
for  August  showed  a  decrease  of  about 
3.000  cases  compared  with  the  July  ^  re¬ 
ceipts  and  during  the  first  half  of  Sep¬ 
tember  receipts  averaged  about  the  same 
as  during  August,  and  there  is  usually  an 
increased  demand  during  September.  It 
is  not  strange,  therefore,  that  there  con¬ 
tinues  to  be  a  scarcity  of  fine  new  laid 
eggs  and  the  comparatively  few  that  were 
offered  sold  on  a  firm  market,  nearby  and 
Western  extra  firsts  wholesaling  chiefly 
at  43c  a  dozen.  There  was  considerably 
unattractive  stock  in  the  market  which 
sold  at  irregular  prices,  the  market  on 
lower  grades  being  entirely  in  the  buyer’s 
favor.  Comparisons  of  the  Philadelphia 
cold  storage  holdings  with  those  of  last 
year  show  a  decrease  of  about  35,000 
cases.  For  the  United  States,  according 
to  the  final  government  figures  for  Sep¬ 
tember  1,  there  were  9,931,000  cases  on 
hand  compared  with  9.608,000  cases  a 
year  ago,  or  about  2,500,00(1  cases  above 
the  five-year  average. 
The  Hebrew  holidays  interfered  with 
the  live  poultry  trade  last  week.  While 
there  was  a  good  demand  for  fancy  fat 
live  and  heavy  chickens  just  before  the 
Hebrew  New  Year,  the  demand  afterward 
slackened  considerably,  especially  on  live 
fowl,  and  the  market  declined,  fancy 
Plymouth  Rock  fowl  selling  29  to  30c  a 
pound,  and  best  white  Leghorns  19  to 
23c.  Inferior  stock  of  mixed  breeds  sold 
from  20c  a  pound  upward  according  to 
quality.  Spring  chickens.  3  to  4  pound 
size,  ranged  27  to  33c.  Plymouth  Rocks 
bringing  the  highest  prices  and  white 
Leghorns,  all  sizes,  averaging  about  25c 
a  pound.  Ducks  declined  a  little  after 
the  Jewish  holidays,  ordinary  to  fancy 
white  Pekins  ranging  20  to  24c  a  pound. 
The  market  on  fresh  killed,  fancy  foAvl 
was  generally  firm,  and  prices  held  about 
steady,  dry-picked,  dry-packed,  barreled- 
packed  stock  wholesaling  mostly  at  30c 
for  5-pound  sizes,  with  values  graduating 
downward,  small  stock  selling  IS  to  20c. 
Nearby  broiling  chickens  held  steady  at 
33  to  38c,  with  occassional  lots  bringing 
a  little  higher  price. 
t  New 
IIAY  AND  STRAW 
Hay  receipts  have  been  rather  light  and 
the  market  was  kept  well  cleared  of  de¬ 
sirable  grades.  Number  1  Timothy  sold 
mostly  at  $29  a  ton,  while  No.  2  Timothy 
and  No.  1  light  clover  mixed  were  valued 
at  $27  a  ton.  Straight  rye  straw  was 
rather  quiet  at  $23  a  ton.  Pastures  in 
New  Y'ork  State  are  probably  poorer  this 
year  than  for  many  previous  seasons  due 
to  the  dry  weather.  The  Timothy  hay 
yield  in  New  York  State  has  been  ir¬ 
regular,  but  on  the  whole,  it  has  been 
fairly  good  considering  the  dry  season. 
The  New  England  hay  crop  is  reported 
to  be  good,  but)  there  was  quite  a  cut  in 
production  in  New  Jersey.  b.  w.  s.
