Market  News  and 
Review  of  the  New  York  Produce  Market 
(Supplied  by  New  Jersey  State  Department  of 
Agriculture,  Bureau  of  Markets) 
The  receipts  of  nearby  produce  have 
continued  to  decrease.  This  past  week 
there  have  been  practically  no  string 
beans  on  the  market,  the  few  that  were 
offered  were  of  very  poor  quality.  Some 
interesting  facts  concerning  tlie  lettuce 
supply  and  demand  in  New  York  City 
are  to  be  found  in  a  tabulation  arranged 
by  the  Market  News  Service  of  the  Unit¬ 
ed  States  Department  of  Agriculture.  It 
shows  that  there  has  been  a  steady  and 
enormous  increase  of  lettuce  consump¬ 
tion,  both  the  Iceberg  and  Big  Boston 
types,  during  the  past  five  years.  In 
1918-1919,  between  the  latter  part  of  No¬ 
vember  and  the  first  of  June  there  were 
21688  cars  received,  not  including  ship¬ 
ments  from  New  York  State  and  New 
Jersey,  while  during  the  same  period  in 
1922-1923  the  unloads  amounted  to  6,303 
cars,  or  an  increase  of  134  per  cent.  In 
spite  of  the  fact  that  it  is  generally  be¬ 
lieved  that  the  two  types  are  used  in 
New  York  City  by  distinctly  different 
classes  of  trade,  the  Iceberg  type  is  grad¬ 
ually  becoming  more  important,  and  last 
season  showed  a  decided  gain  over  the 
Big  Boston  type.  The  price  of  the  Ice¬ 
berg  for  this  period  ranged  between  $2.50 
and  $6.25  per  orate,  while  the  price  of 
lettuce  of  the  Big  Boston  type  ranged 
between  $1  and  $4.60  per  crate.  _  There 
has  been  a  wide  range  of  prices  in  New 
Yojjk  State  and,  nearby  lettuce  this  past 
week  due  to  its  poor  quality.  The  re¬ 
ceipts  of  apples  have  been  liberal,  but  of 
late  there  has  been  an  accumulation  of 
poor  to  ordinary  quality  fruit.  Prices 
were  very  irregular  and  movement  slow 
except  on  fruit  of  extra  fancy  quality. 
Cranberries,  when  fancy,  moved  well  at 
generally  $4  to  $4.25  per  ^4jbbl.  h°x  f°r 
Early  Blacks,  but  poor  stock  moved  slow¬ 
ly  at  $3.50  to  $3.75.  I>ate  varieties  are 
commencing  to  arrive  and  selling  chiefly 
at  $5  to  $5.50  per  K>-bbl.  box.  Receipts 
of  Jersey  potatoes  have  continued  light, 
with  Maine  receipts  becoming  slightly 
heavier,  causing  prices  to  ease  up  a  littl°, 
Maine  Green  Mountains  selling  generally 
at  $3  to  $3.40.  There  has  been  an  in¬ 
crease  in  receipts  of  sweet  potatoes  this 
week  over  last  of  15  cars.  Due  to  the  in¬ 
creased  supplies  of  barreled  stock,  basket 
stock  moved  slowly,  best  Jersey  stock 
ranging  from  $1  to  $1.50  per  bushel  ham¬ 
per.  There  was  an  especially  good  sale 
for  Cherry  peppers  the  early  part  of  the 
past  week.  Green  and  red  Bullnose  pep¬ 
pers  met  a  rather  steady  demand,  and 
prices  held  firm. 
EGGS  AND  POULTRY 
At  a  time  when  fresh  eggs  are  scarce 
as  they  are  at  present,  it  is  interesting  to 
turn  our  attention  for  a  few  moments  to 
a  few  facts  concerning  the  egg  move¬ 
ment  which  is  governed  by  production. 
The  movement  of  eggs  to  the  four  leading 
markets  during  the  first  week  in  October 
indicates  a  continued  heavier  supply 
than  a  year  ago.  The  increase  from  Oc¬ 
tober  1'to  7,  1922,  was  28  per  cent  over 
the  same  month  last  year ;  whereas  the 
increase  during  the  month  of  September 
was  only  25  per  cent  over  -last  year. 
Weather  conditions  being  favorable,  this 
would  indicate  that  the  producing  power 
of  the  country’s  flocks  would  be  larger 
this  year.  If  this  condition  becomes  a 
fact,  it  will  mean  that  stock  will  have  to 
be  well  graded  and  closely  selected  in  or¬ 
der  to  demand  a  premium.  For  many 
weeks  there  has  been  a  heavy  accumula¬ 
tion  of  eggs  arriving  from  Western 
points  consisting  of  mixed  fresh  and  held 
eggs,  with  only  about  half  of  the  supply 
being  really  fresh,  full  eggs,  the  balance 
being  shrunken,  weak-bodied,  held  eggs. 
This  means  that  a  large  portion  of  these 
receipts  have  been  no  better  than  storage 
eggs,  and  consequently  there  has  not  been 
a  ready  sale,  which  has  resulted  in  an  ac¬ 
cumulation  of  between  89,000  to  96,000 
cases  of  these  eggs  on  the  market.  It 
is  unquestionably  true  that  if  these  eggs 
had  been  properly  candled  and  selected 
at  point  of  shipment  there  would  have 
been  upwards  of  10,000  to  15.000  cases 
that  could  have  been  sold  as  fresh,  full 
eggs,  at  considerably  advanced  prices. 
All  these  facts  would  seem  to  indicate 
that  shippers  should  not  lose  the  opportu¬ 
nity  to  standardize  their  output  and  ship 
in  the  good  quality  of  eggs  as  such  and 
obtain  fair  returns  commensurate  with 
the  extra  efforts  of  selecting,  candling, 
grading  and  handling,  especially  at  a  time 
when  there  is  an  existing  demand. 
During  the  second  week  in  October,  the 
period  just  following  the  Jewish  holidays, 
there  was  the  accustomed  dullness  in  the 
fowl  market :  the  receipts  were  heavy, 
and  consumption  being  limited,  movement 
was  light.  As  has  been  the  case  for  the 
past  few  weeks,  fancy  fowls  are  scarce 
and  sell  well  when  other  grades  drag. 
White  Leghorn  fowls  continue  extremely 
slow,  sale  quality  being  generally  poor. 
The  price  on  small  to  large  express 
White  Leghorn  fowls  has  declined  from 
20  to  23c  per  lb.  on  October  11  to  17  to 
19c  per  lb.  The  market  on  chickens,  as 
predicted,  was  low.  with  few  sales  during 
the  early  part  of  the  week  of  October  15 ; 
but.  contrarv  to  predictions,  it  fully  re¬ 
covered  toward  the  end  of  the  week,  with 
ppsf  express  colored  chickens  selling  at 
23c  per  lb.  . 
HAY  AND  STRAW 
^  The  New  l'ork  State  Department  of 
Farms  and  Markets,  in  a  recent  hay  crop 
report,  says:  “Hay  has  turned  out  a  lit¬ 
tle  better  than  was  expected  early  in  the 
season  and  was  rather  better  than  the 
average  crop  in  yield  and  quality.  Fa¬ 
vorable  weather  at  harvest  time  partly 
offset  the  shortage  of  labor  and  the  crop 
was  generally  gathered  in  good  condition. 
The  average  yield  of  all  tame  hay  is  now 
estimated  at  1.35  tons  per  acre.  Clover 
hay  yielded  1.6  tons  per  acre;  Timothy, 
1.32.  and  Alfalfa  2.3  tons.”  As  in  pre¬ 
vious  weeks,  however.  No.  1  Timothy 
has  continued  to  be  scarce.  There  has 
seemed  to  be  a  surplus  of  sample  hay  in 
small  bales,  and  they  found  little  sale  ex¬ 
cept  at  lower  figures,  which  were  $1  per 
ton  lower  than  the  quotations  of  $17  to 
$20  per  ton  of  October  15.  There  has 
been  a  fair  demand  for  choice  No.  1  sec¬ 
ond  cutting  Alfalfa.
