Review  of  the  New  York  Produce  Market 
(Supplied  by  New  Jersey  State  Department  of 
Agriculture,  Bureau  of  Markets) 
The  apple  market  is  rather  slow  in  re¬ 
covering  from  the  sluggishness  which  has 
prevailed  for  several  weeks.  It  has  been 
burdened  with  small  and  inferior  fruit, 
not  an  unusual  condition  during  and  just 
after  apple  harvesting  and  before  severe 
frosts  arrive.  The  local  market  for  the 
most  part  has  been  lifeless  excepting  for 
fancy  large  fruit  on  such  varieties  as 
Greening,  Twenty  Ounce  and  well-col¬ 
ored  McIntosh.  The  preference  seems  to 
have  been  for  boxed  apples,  bulk  and 
bushel  stock  being  especially  slow  under 
the  limited  demand,  even  the  boxed  ap¬ 
ples  having  to  show  quality  to  move  at 
all  readily.  So  far  this  season  export 
trade  has  been  fairly  good,  most  of  the 
apples  going  to  England  and  Scotland, 
there  being  a  short  crop  in  the  British 
Isles.  If  the  export  trade  continues  to  be 
good  and  there  is  a  good  domestic  con¬ 
sumption,  which  our  industrial  conditions 
seem  to  warrant,  the  prospects  of  mov¬ 
ing  the  1923  apple  crop  would  seem  to  be 
better  than  present  market  conditions  in¬ 
dicate.  Recent  crop  estimates,  however, 
show  that  we  have  a  production  of  com¬ 
mercial  apples  amounting  to  about  3,000,- 
000  bbls.  above  last  year’s  crop.  Pears 
have  been  meeting  a  dull  demand  unless 
the  fruit  was  large  and  fancy,  and  there 
was  a  limited  call  for  grapes,  the  season 
being  about  over.  Quinces  received  very 
little  attention  and  there  was  practically 
no  demand  for  crabapples.  Lettuce  ship¬ 
ments  from  New  York  State  are  done,  but 
New  Jersey  growers  have  been  shipping 
quite  heavily,  approximately  100  carloads 
being  received  in  New  York  during  the 
week  ending  Nov.  10.  The  market  in 
general  has  been  slow,  with  prices  averag¬ 
ing  low,  due  largely  to  the  quality  of  the 
stock.  Western  States  also  contributed 
about  30  carloads  during  the  week.  White 
cabbage  offerings  have  been  so  heavy  that 
there  has  been  some  accumulation,  and 
red  cabbage  has  not  sold  well  either.  Kale 
was  not  wanted  even  at  low  prices.  The 
celery  market  is  showing  a  little  activity 
with  the  approaching  holidays.  Carrots 
fluttered  a  little,  prices  advancing  to  $2 
per  100  lbs.,  but  soon  settling  back  again 
to  about  $1.75  a  sack.  Fancy  onions 
showed  a  little  better  movement,  probably 
due  to  cooler  weather,  but  there  are 
plenty  on  hand,  and  ordinary  aud  poor 
qualities  continue  to  move  slowly.  New 
Jersey  peppers  are  winding  up  for  the 
season  and  Florida  peppers  are  already 
beginning  to  come  North.  Virginia,  Mary¬ 
land  and  the  Carolinas  has  been  strong, 
and  string  beans,  peas,  etc.,  the  former 
selling  on  a  dull  market,  but  there  was  a 
demand  for  peas  at  steady  to  firm  prices. 
POULTRY  AND  EGGS 
Excessive  offerings  of  live  poultry, 
chickens  especially,  have  caused  an  unsat¬ 
isfactory  market.  Chickens  have  made  up 
the  bulk  of  the  offerings,  and  the  over¬ 
supply  has  affected  the  market  on  both 
fowl  and  chickens.  About  the  only  thing 
in  the  live  poultry  line  which  was  in  good 
demand  were  small  live  broilers.  They 
sold  well  up  to  about  30c  per  lb.,  and  at 
times  there  has  been  a  fair  call  for  col¬ 
ored  fancy  fowl.  Leghorn  fowl  have  been 
especially  burdensome,  and  dealers  have 
had  considerable  difficulty  in  disposing  of 
them  even  at  very  low  prices.  Long 
Island  ducks  held  firm.  It  is  still  a  little 
early  at  this  writing  for  much  trading  in 
nearby  turkeys.  Operators  have  been 
buying  live  turkeys  in  Texas  at  20  to  23e 
per  lb.,  according  to  official  reports  of 
Nov.  13,  and  commercial  reports  show 
that  24  to  30c  per  lb.  was  being  paid  in 
that  State  a  year  ago.  Fresh-killed  poul¬ 
try  offerings  have  been  in  excess  of  cur¬ 
rent  needs,  necessitating  large  quantities 
being  put  into  storage.  Low  prices  have 
prevailed  and  the  market  was  necessarily 
weak  under  these  conditions.  A  few 
Southern  dry-packed  turkeys  have  arrived 
on  the  market,  the  best  seling  at  50  to  55c 
per  lb.,  with  only  a  few  prime  birds  bring¬ 
ing  the  top  figure.  It  does  not  seem  that 
the  unusual  large  supply  of  turkeys  in 
cold  storage  this  year  will  have  the  tie¬ 
pressing  effect  on  the  market  for  nearby 
fresh-killed  turkeys  that  many  thought  it 
would  have  earlier  in  the  season.  Those 
now  in  storage  are  reported  to  be  mostly 
below  fancy,  consequently  they  will  come 
in  competition  chiefly  with  the  poorer 
stock  of  fresh  killed. 
There  has  not  been  any  great  change  in 
the  market  on  nearby  eggs  for  a  week  or 
■two.  Receipts  have  increased  slightly, 
but  fancy  eggs  continue  to  be  compara¬ 
tively  scarce  and  a  firm  market  has  pre¬ 
vailed,  with  price  ranges  narrowing  on 
extreme  top  grades  and  the  market  edging 
up  slowly  on  other  desirable  grades  of 
nearby  stock.  Egg  receipts  showing  much 
defective  stock  have  been  slow  to  sell,  as 
buyers  are  very  critical  and  a  wide  range 
in  prices  exists  between  fancy  eggs  and 
inferior  grades.  The  reduction  of  cold 
storage  holdings  during  October  for  the 
country  as  a  whole  was  less  than  a  year 
ago,  and  according  to  the  preliminary  re¬ 
ports  by  the  United  States  Department 
of  Agriculture  for  Nov.  1  there  were  932.- 
000  cases  more  on  hand, than  on  the  same 
date  last  year. 
HAY  AND  STRAW 
The  market  on  good  quality  Timothy 
hay  has  been  uniformly  good,  and  a  firm 
market  has  prevailed.  Some  clovpr  mixed 
hay  found  a  rather  slow  outlet,  but  choice 
Alfalfa  hay  from  second  cuttings  was  in 
good  demand.  Rye  straw  about  steady.

BUTTER 
The  high  prices  here  have  attracted 
quite  large  imports  recently,  not  far  from 
2,000,000  lbs.  having  arrived  at  New 
York  during  the  last  two  months,  or  now 
on  the  way,  from  Denmax-k,  Sibei-ia  (via 
England),  Holland.  Argentina  and  New 
Zealand.  In  addition  to  this  there  are 
steady  i-eceipts  at  New  York  from  Can¬ 
ada,  from  6  to  10  cars  per  week.
