Market  News  and  Prices 
Review  of  Philadelphia  Produce  Market 
(Supplied  by  New  Jersey  State  Department  of 
Agriculture,  Bureau  of  Markets) 
Recent  heavy  frpst,  in  some  sections 
amounting  to  a  freeze,  has  done  its  share 
in  cutting  down  the  volume  and  variety 
of  fruits  and  vegetables  received  from 
nearby  farms.  Corn  has  about  run  out 
and  ripe  tomatoes  are  practically  through 
for  the  season,  although  some  good  green 
tomatoes  are  still  available.  Peppers  are 
io  be  found,  many  of  them  of  fair  to  good 
quality ;  but  eggplant,  string  beans,  etc., 
are  done,  the -string  beans  now  being  of¬ 
fered  coming  from  South  Carolina  and 
Maryland.  Several  carloads  of  tomatoes 
were  received  from  California  last  week, 
but  met  with  rather  an  indifferent  de¬ 
mand.  Lettuce  has  been  arriving  quite 
freely  from  New  Jersey,  a  crate  of  two 
dozen  heads  selling  all  the  way  from  25c 
to  $1.25,  according  to  the  quality  of  the 
stook  offered.  Most  of  the  root  crops  and 
Fa  1  greens  now  being  received  in  Phila¬ 
delphia  are  from  nearby  sources  of  pro¬ 
duction.  Spinach  has  been  selling  slowly 
at  25  to  50c  per  %-bu.  basket,  and  kale 
sold  mostly  around  25c  a  basket.  Pump¬ 
kins  and  turnips  were  very  slow,  there 
being  practically  no  sale  for  turnips  un¬ 
less  the  stock  looked  very  attractive. 
Sweet  potatoes  showed  little  strength, 
best  New  Jersey  yellow  varieties  ranging 
from  65  to  90c  per  %-bu.  basket.  Mush¬ 
rooms  have  been  quite  plentiful,  resulting 
in  a  weak  market,  3-lb.  baskets  ranging 
from  65c  to  $1.25.  Cabbage  has  recently 
slumped  rather  badly,  due  to  heavier  ar¬ 
rivals,  but  onions  have  been  fairly  active 
and  prices  showed  some  improvement. 
Rest  New  York  Danish  cabbage  has  been 
wholesaling  at  $15  to  $18  per  ton,  and 
best  yellow  onions  from  the  same  State 
brought  $3  to  $3.25  per  100-lb.  sack. 
Cauliflower  sold  fairly  on  a  steady  to  firm 
market,  and  white  potatoes  held  about 
steady  last  week.  Green  Mountain  po¬ 
tatoes  from  Maine  in  150-lb.  sacks  ranged 
from  $2.75  to  $3  ;  New  York  State  Round 
Whites  sold  around  $2.50  a  sack’,  and 
Pennsylvania  Round  White  $2.25  to  82.65 
per  sack,  some  of  the  stock  being  poorly 
graded.  The  earlot  movement  of  potatoes 
so  far  this  season  from  late  producing 
States  is  fully  as  heavy  as  a  year  asm, 
and  in  view  of  the  smaller  crop  and  the 
good  industrial  conditions,  the  prospects 
for  a  good  potato  market  are  brighter 
than  last  year.  Eastern  grapes  are  about 
through  and  prices  have  been  a  little  high¬ 
er  in  Philadelphia  during  the  past  few 
days.  Apples  held  about  steady,  there 
being  a  fair  call  for  fancy  fruit  ;  Penn¬ 
sylvania  A2%-in  ctayman  brought  84.50 
to  $4.75 ;  Baldwin  around  $4.50.  and 
Maryland  2%-in.  Yorks  $3.50  a  barrel. 
From  now  on  earlot  receipts  will  become 
increasingly  important,  as  large  quanti¬ 
ties  of  Southern  and  Western  fruits  and 
vegetables  will  be  received  during  the 
next  few  months. 
EGGS  AND  POULTRY 
We  are  now  coming  to  the  period  of 
the  smallest  egg  production,  and  high- 
grade  fresh  eggs  are  always  in  good  de¬ 
mand.  Many  receipts  often  contain 
enough  shrunken  or  otherwise  defective 
eggs  to  throw  them  out  of  the  class  for 
the  best  trade  and  into  the  grades  which 
compete  with  storage  stock.  Such  eggs 
have  not  been  selling  any  too  readily,  but 
tl  market  has  been  very  firm  on  really 
high  quality  fresh  eggs,  prices  "-jumping 
2  to  3c  a  dozen  on  some  days,  and  from 
October  30  to  November  6  a  gain  of  9c  a 
dozen  was  made,  nearby  and  Western  ex¬ 
tra  firsts  selling  at  60c  a  dozen.  Refrig¬ 
erator  extra  firsts  have  ben  quoted  at  35c 
a  dozen,  and  firsts  30  to  32c.  Cold  stor¬ 
age  holdings  in  Philadelphia  are  about  the 
same  as  a  year  ago,  and  on  Nov.  3  the 
total  holdings  for  four  large  cities  were 
about  20,000  cases  heavier  than  last  year 
at  that  time,  not  a  very  satisfactory  con¬ 
dition  for  those  having  considerable  quan¬ 
tities  of  eggs  in  storage,  nearly  all  of 
whiclvmust  be  moved  by  February  1.  The 
preliminary  report  for  the  United  States 
for  November  1  on  cold  storage  of  eggs 
shows  6.65S.000  cases  on  hand,  compared 
with  5.726.000  cases  a  year  ago. 
There  seems  to  have  been  a  fairly  good 
market  for  fancy  live  poultry  during  ttm 
past  week ;  but  on  ordinary  qualities, 
which  have  been  plentiful,  trading  has 
been  slow.  Price  changes  have  not  been 
marked,  best  live  fowl,  5  lbs.  or  over,  sell¬ 
ing  mostly  around  28c  per  lb.,  those  aver¬ 
aging  a  pound  smaller  selling  for  about 
25c,  and  small  sizes  and  White  Leghorns 
bringing  a  little  under  20c-  per  lb.  Near¬ 
by  live  chickens  held  steady,  the  prefer¬ 
ence  being  for  the  1%-lb.  and  the  3%  to 
4-lb.  birds,  these  seling  up  to  26c  per  lb. ; 
those  averaging  2%  to  3  lbs.  selling  rath¬ 
er  slowly  at  20  to  22c  per  lb.  The  dressed 
poultry  market  showed  a  little  weakness 
tinder  freer  offerings,  heavy  fowl  drop¬ 
ping  2c  during  the  past  week  ;  4%  to  5-lb. 
barreled-packed.  dry-picked  fowl  selling 
at  30c.  prices  graduating  downward  ac¬ 
cording  to  size;  3-lb.  sizes  selling  at  20  to 
21c.  Chickens  were  rather  quiet,  nearby 
1%  to  2-lb.  sizes  ranging  32  to  36c._the 
heavy  chickens  selling  generally  at  27  to 
31c  per  lb.  Fancy  nearby  ducklings  ad¬ 
vanced  to  37c  per  lb. 
TIAY  AND  STRAW 
The  hay  market  generally  ruled  firm, 
but  there  have  been  few  price  changes  dur¬ 
ing  the  past  week  or  10  days.  Desirable 
grades  of  hay  were  kept  well  cleaned  up, 
No.  1  Timothy  selling  at  $28  to  $29  a 
ton ;  No.  2  for  about  $26.50,  and  the  best 
light  clover  mixed  at  $27  to  $27.50  a  ton. 
Rye  straw  was  steadily  held  at  $22  a  ton 
for  the  best,  and  wheat  and  oat  straw 
continued  unchanged  at  $16  to  $16.50  a 
ton.  b.  w.  s.
