Review  of  Philadelphia  Produce  Market 
(Supplied  by  New  Jersey  State  Department  of 
Agriculture,  Bureau  of  Markets) 
Weather  conditions  are  often  an  im¬ 
portant  factor  in  the  determining  of 
values  on  the  wholesale  market.  Recent 
heavy  rains  prevented  the  usual  harvest¬ 
ing  for  two  or  three  days,  and  receipts  of 
home-grown  produce  were  light  and 
prices  were  unusually  high.  As  soon  as 
the  weather  cleared  up,  however,  load 
after  load  poured  into  the  market  until 
it  became  practically  demoralized.  String¬ 
less  green  beans  were  selling  to  canners 
at  about  30c  a  bushel,  and  the  carryover 
from  day  to  day  of  most  all  kinds  of 
fruits  and  vegetables  was  heavy,  and  re¬ 
ceivers  were  obliged  to  request  the  grow¬ 
ers  not  to  bring  in  fresh  supplies  until 
the  market  had  been  cleared  of  its  bur¬ 
den  and  was  in  a  more  healthy  condition. 
With  the  advent  of  cooler  weather  the  first 
of  the  month,  the  market  got  back  to  a 
more  normal  basis.  Apple  supplies  have 
been  heavy  and  the  market  was  very  dull, 
especially  on  ordinary  fruit.  New  York 
A2%  Maiden  Blush  ranged  $3.50  to  $4 
a  barrel,  while  fancy  Staymens  and  De¬ 
licious  from  Virginia  sold  at  $5  a  barrel. 
York  State  Gravensteins,  Wolf  Rivers 
and  Wealthies  sold  around  $1  per  bu. 
basket,  while  Jersey  Grimes  Golden 
brought  50  to  75c  per  %  bu.  basket.  The 
peach  season  is  about  over,  a  few  York 
State.  Pennsylvania  and  some  Western 
stock  arriving,  Elbertas  ranging  $1.50  to 
$2  a  bushel.  Grapes  weakened  in  the 
local  market  under  increased  supplies 
with  New  York  State  Concords,  carlot 
sales,  ranging  65  to  70c  per  12-qt.  climax 
basket,  jobbing  sales  bringing  a  little 
more.  The  grape  production  on  the 
whole  will  not  be  as  large  as  last  year 
according  to  recent  estimates.  In  the 
East,  the  Michigan  crop  is  smaller  than 
a  year  ago,  and  the  earlv  Summer 
drought  hurt  the  crop  in  the  Chautauqua 
grape  belt  in  New  York  State.  Pennsyl¬ 
vania,  however,  has  a  good  crop.  The 
pear  market  held  about  steady  last  week, 
although  the  movement  was  not  very  ac¬ 
tive  at.  $2.50  to  $3.25  a  bushel  for  Bart- 
letts,  and  75  to  SOc  per  %  basket  for 
good  Kieffers.  York  State  Damson  plums 
worked  out  at  75c  to  $1  per  %-bu.  basket, 
and  Jersey  cranberries  sold  slowly  at 
•*4.50  per  %-bbl.  box.  The  sweet  potato 
harvesting  is  on  and  prices  declined  25c 
a  basket,  and  about.  $1  a  barrel  last  week, 
Virginia  yellow  sweets  selling  $1.75  a 
barrel,  and  New  Jersey  %  basket  60  to 
75c.  Onion  receipts  were  moderate  to 
liberal  and  prices  held  about  steady,  yel¬ 
low  varieties  from  Massachusetts  and 
Ohio  selling  mostly  around  $3.25  per  100- 
lb.  sack,  some  York  States  bringing  as 
high  as  $3.65  a  sack.  Potato  receipts 
have  been  liberal  and  under  a  slow  move- 
movement  prices  have  declined  10  to  30c 
a  sack  during  the  past.  week.  Long 
Island  stock  has  been  the  favorite,  top¬ 
ping  the  market  at  $3.75  to  $4  for  U.  S. 
No.  1  Green  Mountains  in  150-lb.  sacks, 
while  well  graded  New  Jersey  stock 
brought  $3  to  $3.50  a  sack.  The  best  of 
the  Maine  cobblers  sold  at  around  $3  a 
sack  to  jobbers. 
EGGS  AND  POULTRY 
There  has  been  some  fluctuation  in  the 
local  egg  market  recently  due  principally 
to  the  lighter  demand  during  the  Jewish 
holidays  which  occurred  the  last  of  Sep¬ 
tember.  Fancy  nearby  and  Western  eggs 
which  had  previously  been  selling  at  45c 
a  dozen  dropped  to  41c  for  nearby  and 
3814c  for  Western  during  the  few  days 
of  slack  demand.  About  the  first  of  Oc¬ 
tober  a  more  active  market  was  reported 
and  extra  firsts,  both  nearby  and  Western, 
recovered  some  of  their  earlier  loss,  sell¬ 
ing  up  to  42c  a  dozen.  Many  of  the  re¬ 
ceipts  showed  more  or  less  defective 
stock  and  these  moved  out  rather  slowly 
at  a  wide  range  in  prices,  seconds  selling 
as  low  as  29c  a  dozen,  ('old  storage  hold¬ 
ings  in  Philadelphia  are  somewhat,  smaller 
than  a  year  ago;  but  for  the  leading  cities. 
Boston.  New  York.  Philadelphia  and  Chi¬ 
cago.  the  holdings  total  up  to  about  the 
same  as  last  year  on  the  same  date,  or 
about  3.S65.000  cases. 
Poultry  supplies  have  been  quite  liberal, 
particularly  ordinary  and  poor  stock.  The 
chicken  market  has  been  declining 
steadily,  prices  dropping  to  5c  a  pound 
during  the  week,  and  toward  the  close  3 
to  4-lb.  Plymouth  Rocks  were  selling  26 
to  27c  a  pound,  mixed  colors  of  the  same 
size  averaging  about  23c.  Fancy  fowl 
were  nearly  always  in  fair  demand,  and 
the  market  on  such  held  about  steady  at 
29  to  30c  a  pound.  White  Leghorns  work¬ 
ing  out  at  IS  to  20c  a  pound  White  Pe¬ 
kin  ducks  weakened  a  little,  fat  stock  se'l- 
ing  23  to  24c  a  pound.  There  has  been 
a  steady  demand  for  desirably  sized  fresh 
killed  fowl  and  the  market  was  steadily 
held  at  31c  for  barreled  packed,  dry- 
picked.  heavy  fowl.  Lighter  weights  also 
showed  but  few  price  changes  last  week. 
White  Leghorn  fowl  selling  mostly  22  to 
23c  a  pound.  The  chicken  market  tended 
to  weaken,  broiling  sizes  selling  33  to  37c. 
there  being  the  least  demand  for  medium 
sizes  which  ranged  28  to  33c  a  pound. 
During  the  month  of  September  poultry 
receipts  amounted  to  1 ,348.250  lbs.,  or 
about  the  same  as  for  July,  but  about 
ing  to  the  Fnited  States  Bureau  of  Agri- 
270.000  lbs.  less  than  for  August  accord- 
cultural  Economics. 
HAY  AND  STRAW 
The  hay  situation  is  practically  un¬ 
changed.  Daily  receipts  have  ranged 
from  30  to  200  tons,  averaging  during 
the  past  week  about  140  tons,  and  de¬ 
sirable  grades  were  kept  pretty  well 
cleaned  up,  No.  1  Timothy  selling  at  $28 
a  ton ;  No.  2  Timothy  and  No.  1  light 
clover  mixed  at  $26.50.  No.  1  straight 
rye  straw  w’orked  out  at  $21  to  $22  a 
ton  and  best  wheat  straw7  averaged  about 
$15.50  a  ton.  Carlot  receipts  from  Jan¬ 
uary  1  to  September  22  were  not  nearly 
as  heavy  this  year  as  in  1922,  govern¬ 
ment  statistics  showung  that  2.087  car¬ 
loads  were  received  this  year  compared 
with  3,631  carloads  in  1922.  B.  w.  S.
