Apple Market Firm

Activity of the fruit market, eSpe-
cially on apples, has been more faV-
orable to producers than the general
Supplies have been comparatively
light in southern and some midwest
ern producing sections and fairly
good demand has developed, apply
ing to choice fruit as well as the
cheaper grades. Prices are being
we'll maintained in Virginia and
West Virginia producing sections at
S5c to 81 per bushel for standard
varieties. Yorks have averaged lit
tie under $3.50 per barrel and Stay
mans under So. Western New York
quotes Greetings at $225 per bar
rel and various fall and early win
ter varieties at Csc to 90c. Michigan
growers get zoe to $1.10 for the lead
ing varieties at country shipping
points. Prices are firm in Pacific
Northwestern producing sections.
The city markets. are literally sup
piled but prices have been holding
well. Eastern Jonathans and McIn-
tosh sell at 75c to $1.25 per bushel,
eastern Grimes at 65c to 81 and De-
licious at 81 to $1.25. Staymans
bring Use to 81 in Philadelphia, Bal
timore and Washington. Vermont
Mcintosh brought 1915 per barrel
in New York. Connecticut Green
ings sold at Csc per bushel in that
market and Delicious at 81. New
York Greetings were quoted prom
inent in midwestern markets at 75c
to soc a bushel and were quoted at
$3.50 per barrel in Minneapolis.
The grape position has. been un-
because of slow demand
and prices too low to show satisfac-
tory results to producers after pay
ing for picking and packing. Pro-
duceFs have been inclined to hold
the crop for better prices but with
out much success. Weather has
been favorable and most of the crop
was mature and in good condition
for market. Eastern grape markets
are irregular, averaging about the
same as early in the month. Cali
fornia markets are steady to firm,
some varieties advancing. New York |
Concords sold a little higher in |
at 321ac to 35c per IL
quarts. Other markets quoted 3Oc |
10 35c. Sales of Concords in pro- |
lucing sections of central New York
were at $40 to $25 per ton for the
l2-quart basket pack in the second
week of October.
Pears are in light to moderate sup |
ply and fairly good demand in the
large markets. Prices follow an ir-
regular steady range. Steady con-
litions prevail in western New York |
producing sections. Sales of Kief- |
fers were reported at $1.75 to $1.S5
per barrel in the Rochester district. |

Potatoes Slightly Higher

The trend of the potato market
has been slightly upward this
month, owing to the rather light
carlot shipments for some weeks
past. Near the middle of the month
shipments had increased to more
than 600 carloads daily but the mar
ket was holding firm, possibly be-
cause of the fairly strong underly-
ing position resulting from crop
below average, besides some waste
and neglect at harvest time IN sew
eral producing sections. Vines in
most northern potato regions have
been cut down from frost or blight
by this time and active digging OF
the late crop has been under way
for several weeks. Much of the car
lot movement in early fall was of
the more quickly maturing varieties.
The greater part of the main crop
seems to be in possession Of grow
ers because of the unwillingness of
dealers to store heavily. Growers
accordingly are in position to profit
from any important price advance
later in the season. The strength
in northern Maine country markets
near the middle of the month sug-
gested some temporary activity on
the part of dealers. Shippers and
others found it rather difficult to
fill all their storage space without
paying a little more than the lowest
price. Growers were selling as few
potatoes as possible and it is thought
that the holdings in farmers storages
will be proportiOnately heavier this
year. Prices of sacked stock are at
a narrow range throughout the coun- !
try. Recent sales were around 45c |
per 100 pounds in Maine. Wisconsin
and Minnesota and for Idaho Bur
banks. Western New York quoted !
60c to Csc with a slightly upward |
trend so far this month
The large markets are reporting |
moderate supplies and demand the |
second week of October and well !
sustained prices. New York Cob [
blers sold at 9Oc to 81 per 100 lbs. |
in, Pittsburgh and Baltimore. New
Jersey and Pennsylvania CObblers i
range zoe to $1.05 in several east
ern markets. Maine Green Noun !
tains were firm at soc to $1.05. Chi !
cago carlot market held recent gains, I
the price averaging about zoe per
100 pounds the second week of Oc-
tober.
Sweet Potatoes Steady
The market position of sweet po-
tatoes may be considered somewhat
stronger as the result of recent crop
which show 100000
bushels less than was expected ear
lier in the season. More important
still, there is a further indicated
decrease of production in the States
supplying the large
northern markets. This producing
section, extending from Virginia
nOrthward to New Jersey, Maryland
and Delaware, has crop One-fOurth
to one-third lighter than last sea-
SON Eastern Shore of Virginia is
still the leading shipping section
but hauings and local demand are
light and prices show no improve
ment from recent levels of soc to
S5c per barrel and 35c to 4Oc per
bushel. Virginia sweets are quoted
at 81 to $3.50 per barrel in eastern
markets and from S1.50 to $2.25 in
the Middle West. Maryland sweets
Of the Jersey type sell at 35c to Csc
a bushel in New York, Philadelphia
and Pittsburgh. A few Virginia and
North Carolina red yams brought 60c
10 65e bushel IN New York. New
Jersey stock was about steady at 81

to $1.15 per bushel in Pittsburgh.
Tennessee Nancy Halls still sold at
SOC to zoe a bushel in eastern mar
kets.
Onions Fairly Steady
The course of the onion markets
October but changes were slight and
average of jobbing prices about the
same as prevailed early in the
month. Supplies were moderate and
demand slow. New York and Con-
necticut Valley yellow stock still
brought 45c to soc per so pounds in
most eastern markets. Prices at
eastern shipping points were steady
around 35c and in western Michi-
gan near soc.
Cabbage Selling Slowly
Demand for cabbage is light to
moderate in producing sections of
New York and Wisconsin. Prices
have shown no definite change from
the low levels prevailing so far this
season. Eastern markets quote New
York domestic cabbage around $40
per ton in bulk and the Danish type
at $12 to SIS, which is also close to
the range prevailing in midwestern
cities, but prices in eastern prOduc-
ing sections were 81 to So higher
than in Wisconsin. Danish cabbage
sells at Sc to $S per ton bulk in the
Rochester district. Demand is linn
tied and markets about steady in
producing sections, east and west.
New York lettuce tended lower in
some of the eastern markets the sec
ond week of October. Range of
quality and price was quite wide at
15c to 75c per crate of two dozen.
Prices from 25c to SOC represented
sales of many lots of New York and
New Jersey lettuce-in eastern mar
kets.
Celery has been selling at lower
prices in western New York, ship
pers receiving SOC to Csc per two
thirds crate. The crop of late celery
is estimated larger this year and
so far has been poor. New |
York celery was steady in eastern
markets at S5c to $1.10 per crate !
toward the middle of October.

 Conviction
