Review  of  the  New  York  Produce  Market 
(Supplied  by  New  Jersey  State  Department  of 
Agriculture,  Bureau  of  Markets) 
Due  to  Ihe  lateness  of  the  season  and 
frosts  in  some  sections  the  receipts  of 
nearby  produce  have  decreased  consider¬ 
ably.  That  the  end  of  the  season  for 
late  Summer  vegetables  is  near  is  shown 
plainly  by  the  average  poor  quality  of 
tomatoes,  string  beans  and  various  other 
commodities  which  are  harvested  mainly 
during  the  warmer  months.  Although 
Fall  products  are  becoming  more  prom¬ 
inent,  there  still  has  been  a  decrease  in 
nearby  receipts  which  have  been  made  up 
of  increased  supplies  from  more  distant 
States.  The  local  market  shows  the  ef¬ 
fect'  of  the  apple  harvest  which  is  in  full 
swing.  Receipts  of  poor  and  ordinary 
fruit  have  been  excessive  and  receivers 
have  had  considerable  difficulty  in  mov¬ 
ing  them  at  any  price.  About  the  only 
apples  in  demand  were  well  colored  Mc¬ 
Intosh,  large  sized  Greenings  and  Twenty 
Ounce.  Although  Newr  York  State  Mc¬ 
Intosh  sold  generally  $6.50  to  $7.50  a 
harrel  for  A2%  stock,  such  varieties  as 
Wolf  River,  Wealthy,  and  Kings  seldom 
exceeded  $5  per  doubleheaded  barrel  and 
much  of  the  bushel  stock  sold  for  75c  to 
$1,  a  few  favorite  varieties  working  out 
at  higher  figures.  Eastern  grapes  have 
been  holding  about  steady,  Niagaras  and 
Concords  selling  around  80c  per  12-qt. 
climax  basket.  There  has  been  a  mod¬ 
erate  demand  for  cranberries,  mostly  in 
bushel  or  half-barrel  containers.  Potato 
receipts  have  been  a  little  lighter,  but 
there  v  as  very  little  activity  and  the 
market  was  dull  until  toward  the  last  of 
the  week  when  a  firmer  market  was  re¬ 
ported.  Although  prices  have  fluctuated 
somewhat,  Maine  Cobblers  in  carlots  sold 
generally  around  $2.65  per  150-lb.  sack, 
the  volume  of  Maine  stock  received  hav¬ 
ing  considerable  influence  on  the  prices 
received  for  Long  Island  and  New  Jer¬ 
sey  stock.  Cabbage  has  been  dull,  and 
celery  supplies  were  liberal,  movement 
sl«w  and  market  weak.  Lettuce  had 
been  selling  fairly  well  when  good,  but 
carlot  arrivals  increased,  resulting  in  a 
declining  market.  Onions  were  rather 
quiet  and  peppers  irregular.  The  best 
string  beans  have  been  coming  from  Vir¬ 
ginia  and  peas,  as  well  as  tomatoes,  w7ere 
received  from  California,  although  the 
tomato  market  has  been  almost  demoi- 
alized  due  to  the  liberal  receipts  of  near- 
bys  which  showed  a  very  wide  range  in 
quality. 
EGGS  AND  POULTRY 
At  this  season  of  the  year  when  fresh 
eggs  are  comparatively  scarce  and  the 
price  tendency  is  upward  as  it  has  been 
the  past  few  weeks  on  good  eggs,  there 
is  always  considerable  complaint  from  re¬ 
ceivers  concerning  the  quality  of  the 
stock  received.  Lighter  receipts  gener¬ 
ally  mean  that  eggs  are  not  shipped  as 
often  as  during  the  flush  season,  conse¬ 
quently  they  do  not  arrive  on  the  market 
in  as  good  condition  as  they  should. 
Dealers  also  claim  that  many  lots  of 
fresh  gathered  contain  held  fresh  eggs 
or  even  storage  stock  and  losses  from 
candling  such  eggs  are  heavy,  in  fact  the 
market  has  become  so  glutted  with  in¬ 
ferior  qualities  during  the  past  week  that 
it  has  been  almost  impossible  to  move 
them.  Many  buyers  not  wanting  a  strict¬ 
ly  fancy  egg  have  preferred  storage  stocks 
to  some  of  the  inferior  fresh  receipts  and 
dealers  have  worked  off  considerable 
quantities  of  their  own  storage  holdings 
to  such  trade.  The  market  of  fancy 
nearby  eggs  has  been  a  firm  one,  however, 
and  prices  have  been  advancing  a  little 
at  a  time  as  the  demand  for  the  de¬ 
creasing  supplies  warranted  the  asking 
of  a  better  price  from  the  more  critical 
buyers.  A  year  ago  the  cold  storage  hold¬ 
ings  were  unusually  large  and  this  year 
they  are  even  larger  by  about  755,000 
cases  according  to  the  preliminary  re¬ 
port  for  October  1  as  issued  by  the  United 
States  Department  of  Agriculture.  The 
outlook  does  not  look  very  encouraging, 
especially  for  storage  eggs  and  those 
coming  under  the  grades  that  are  com¬ 
peting  with  storage  stock,  but  there  is 
always  a  demand  for  really  fresh  eggs 
when  properly  graded. 
There  has  been  a  break  in  the  live  fowl 
market,  not  an  unusual  occurrence  after 
the  series  of  Hebrew  holidays  which  end 
about  the  first  of  October.  Although 
fancy  colored  fowl  was  in  fair  demand, 
the  majority  of  the  offerings  sold  slowly. 
With  the  molting  season  on,  express 
chickens  were  often  unattractive  in  ap¬ 
pearance  and  sales  were  slow,  while  the 
more  attractive  stock  worked  toward  low¬ 
er  prices  in  sympathy  with  the  freight 
market.  The  demand  for  fresh  killed 
barreled-packed  fowl  has  been  fairly 
good.  There  was  hardly  enough  desirable 
fowl  to  meet  the  demand  and  the  large 
chickens  were  favored  by  the  trade,  the 
smaller  sizes  selling  a  little  more  slowly. 
Some  Spring  turkeys  are  beginning  to 
arrive  and  we  are  already  beginning  to 
hear  reports  of  a  big  crop  of  turkeys 
which  are  said  to  be  available  in  South¬ 
ern  and  Western  States  and  the  predic¬ 
tion  that  prices  will  be  lower  than  last 
year. 
HAY  AND  STRAW 
The  hay  market  has  been  showing 
some  activity  and  the  market  has  been 
very  firm,  especially  on  large  bales.  The 
lower  grades  put  up  in  small  bales  have 
been  very  draggy  and  have  sold  for  $1 
or  more  per  ton  less  than  the  large  bales. 
Very  little  strictly  No.  1  hay  has  been 
available,  but  buyers  seemed  to  be  out  for 
a  cheap  hay  for  feeding  purposes  and 
often  a  No.  3  hay  sold  easier  than  high¬ 
er  grade  stock.  b.  w.  s.
