October  6,  1923 
Market  News  and 
Review  of  the  New  York  Produce  Market 
(Supplied  by  New  Jersey  State  Department  of 
Agriculture,  Bureau  of  Markets) 
The  first  cool  weather  we  had  in  Sep¬ 
tember  stimulated  the  demand  for  some 
commodities,  among  them  apples;  but 
sinee  it  has  again  turned  rather  warm, 
apples  have  not  been  in  favor  with  the 
trade  and  a  dull  market  has  been  the  re¬ 
port  for  more  than  a  week.  Receipts  in 
the  New  York  markets  have  also  in¬ 
creased  materially,  500  carloads  being 
received  during  the  week  endin„  Sept. 
22.  compared  with  200  carloads  for  the 
previous  week.  Hamper  and  basket  stock 
especially  were  plentiful,  and  offerings  of 
barrels  and  boxes  were  rather  moderate. 
Such  apples-as  Wealthy  and  Wolf  River 
sold  chiefly  at  $1.25  to  $1.50  per  bu., 
while  McIntosh  ranged  from  $6.50  to 
$7.50  per  bbl.  Crabapple  offerings  were 
more  than  adequate  to  meet  the  require¬ 
ments  of  the  trade  and  the  limited  de¬ 
mand  for  plums  resulted  in  a  weak  and 
dull  market.  Grapes  held  fairly  steady, 
although  the  demand  was  a  limited  one. 
Cranberries  have  been  among  the  offer¬ 
ings,  but  they  were  in  slow  demand, 
which  is  not  unusual  early  in  the  season. 
The  cranberry  crop  in  Massachusetts  is 
reported  about  7  per  cent  larger  than  last 
year’s  production,  and  in  New  Jersey  it 
is  estimated  that  there  will  be  about  a 
10  per  cent  increase,  but  the  Wisconsin 
crop  is  not  as  good  as  usual  and  the  de¬ 
crease  in  production  there  about  offsets 
the  gains  made  in  the  other  States.  New 
York  State  peach  growers  now  have  the 
markets  all  to  themselves  with  the  ex¬ 
ception  of  a  few  carloads  coming  from 
Michigan  and  the  Pacific  coast.  Peach 
offerings  were  rather  limited  and  market 
irregular,  but  best  Elbertas  often  ranged 
$2.25  to  $2.75  per  bu.  New  York  has 
been  drawing  its  greater  share  of  pota¬ 
toes  from  Long  Island,  although  Maine 
receipts  have  been  increasing,  and  New 
Jersey  shipments  have  been  declining. 
The  market  held  fairly  steady  during  the 
week,  but  was  inclined  to  be  dull.  Maine 
potatoes  were  apt  to  be  a  little  imma¬ 
ture.  but  Cobblers  wholesaled  tit  about 
$1.25,  and  the  best  Long  Island  Green 
Mountains  at  around  $1.50  per  bu.  Onion 
receipts  more  than  doubled  last  week  over 
the  week  previous,  with  New  York  and 
Indiana  shipping  more  heavily,  but  the 
increased  receipts  were  well  taken  care 
of.  prices  declining  only  about  20c  a  sack 
during  the  week,  Orange  County  onions 
selling  $3.35  to  $3.65  per  100-lb.  sack. 
During  the  month  of  August,  according 
to  government  reports,  703  carloads  of 
onions  were  unloaded  in  New  York;  320 
carloads,  or  its  equivalent,  being  received 
from  Spain;  240  from  New  York  State; 
and  the  rest  were  received  from  about  a 
dozen  different  States.  Late  cabbage 
will,  soon  be  a  factor  in  the  market,  but 
to  date  there  has  not  been  a  very  active 
demand.  The  late  cabbage  production 
estimate  is  531,000  tons,  compared  with 
636.600  tons  last  year,  but  the  crop  in 
1022  was  unusually  large,  and  the  1021 
crop  of  340.000  tons  was  a  short  one. 
The  string  bean  market  was  irregular 
and  the  quality  of  the  offerings  often 
poor.  Celery  sold  slowly,  but  lettuce  has 
been  in  a  better  demand  and  the  market 
strongtheued.  Tomatoes  were  very  ir¬ 
regular.  quality  often  poor  and  the  mar¬ 
ket  unsettled  with  stock  in  good  condi¬ 
tion  selling  at  good  prices. 
EGGS  AND  POULTRY 
The  egg  market  on  the  whole  has  not 
been  a  very  satisfactory  one,  although 
there  has  been  a  little  advance  in  prices 
on  fancy  nearby  whites  during  the  past 
week.  Supplies  of  eggs  were  liberal,  but 
many  arrivals  were  held  eggs  or  were 
lots  showing  enough  defective  stock  .  to 
throw  them  into  the  grades  competing 
with  storage  eggs,  and  such  sold  very 
slowly  at  a  wide  range  in  price.  Many 
dealers  stored  eggs  for  their  own  use 
earlier  in  the  season,  and  many  of  them 
have  been  in  the  market  only  for  fresh 
eggs  good  enough  for  the  best  carton 
trade.  The  receipts  of  nearby  eggs  have 
been  relatively  light,  but  only  a  few  have 
commanded  the  high  prices,  as  dealers 
have  been  very  critical  when  purchasing 
high-grade  eggs,  and  only  a  few  defectives 
were  necessary  to  cause  rejections.  Open 
trading  in  refrigerator  eggs  has  been 
quite  limited,  most  dealers  supplying  the 
trade  out  of  their  own  holdings.  For  six 
days  ending  Sept.  22.  54.171  cases  of  eggs 
were  taken  out  of  storage  in  New  York 
City,  compared  with  18.074  cases  going 
into  storage,  as  reported  by  the  United 
States  Department  of  Agriculture. 
From  Sept.  20  to  Oct.  3  there  are  sev¬ 
eral  Hebrew  holidays,  and  as  trading  in 
live  poultry  is  larglv  dependent  on  the 
Jewish  population,  their  holidays  play  an 
important  part  in  market  conditions. 
Poultrymen  shipping  live  poultry  to  the 
New  York  market  will  do  well  to  take 
note  of  these  holidays.  There  is  usually 
a  good  demand  for  certain  kinds  of  poul¬ 
try  for  several  days  immediately  preced¬ 
ing  the  holidays;  but  while  they  are  be¬ 
ing  observed  the  market  is  rather  quiet 
and  is  easily  overloaded.  With  another 
holiday  in  view.  Oct.  2.  fancy  live  fowl 
has  ruled  firm  during  the  past  week,  but 
inferior  stock  worked  out  rather  slowly. 
Live  chicken  receipts  were  liberal  and 
prices  gradually  decline.  Fully  grown 
chickens  were  preferred,  but  small  broil¬ 
ers  had  some  call,  with  medium  sizes 
least  in  favor.  Old  roosters  were  weak, 
but  ducks  held  firm.  Plenty  of  fresh- 
killed  poultry  was  received  from  West¬ 
ern  and  Southern  sections,  but  the  mar¬ 
ket  was  fairly  active.  Barreled  packed 
chickens  from  nearby  sources  were  in 
light  supply  and  most  of  the  offerings 
showed  a  wide  range  in  quality  and  only 
a  small  proportion  reached  top  quota¬ 
tions.  Supplies  of  fresh-killed  fowl  were 
light  also,  as  shippers  forwarded  live 
fowl  for  the  Jewish  holidays.  Prices, 
however,  changed  very  little  during  the 
week. 
HAY  AND  STRAW 
There  was  not  very  much  doing  in  the 
hay  market  last  week.  Buyers  seemed 
to  be  well  supplied  with  the  better  grades 
of  hay  and  trading  was  light,  the  market 
on  small  bales  being  especially  draggy.

Buffalo  Wholesale  Markets 
The  produce  market  is  pretty  firm.  Po¬ 
tatoes  and  apples  are  especially  strong. 
The  local  potato  yield  will  be  light,  and 
prices  are  expected  to  be  high.  The  dif¬ 
ficulty  is  that  the  season  has  been  back¬
