Apple Supply Moderate

Leading eastern markets report
only moderate supply of apples and
fairly good demand. The price has
been holding well for some weeks
but value sagged away a little in
some of the large cities near the
middle of the month without much
change in the general range of Job
bing prices. Some sales at shipping
points in the Pacific Northwest in
dicated slightly weaker tone there.
New York Baldwins are steady i'll
eastern markets at 81 to $1.20 per
bushel. Eastern Staymans range
from $1.25 to $1.40 in four large
eastern markets. Eastern Iorks
range from 81 to $1.25. Best lots of
Winesaps brought top of $l.75 in
Philadelphia. A few Greetings sold
at $1.25 to $l,5O in New York and
Mcintosh at $2.25 TO $2,75. Barrel
pack of apples ranged in various
markets and for different varieties
mostly from So to $4 but best New
towns or Albemarle Pippin3 brought
$55 or $3.50 in New York.
Prices weakened little in west
ern New York producing sections
but declines were only about cents
a bushel Oh any variety. Recent de-
mand at country shipping points has
been coming mostly from smaller
cities and towns.
Milford chronicle., 1932-04-22
Produce Market Notes

Many lines of produce, including
northern and southern vegetables,
still feel the effects of the southern
freeze and the backward weather
conditions in the past few weeks.
Movement of northern produce from
farm storage has been hindered by
poor condition of country roads. Mar
ket supply has been moderate and
prices are still a little higher than
before. The most important lasting
effect on position of northern pro-
duce is the prospect of a moderate
production of southern potatoes,
which means a longer market season
for the old crop. Price position was
fairly steady near the middle of the
month on northern potatoes, onions,
cabbage, and apples.
Shipments of vegetables and straw
berries have been decreasing from
sections where crop damage and de-
lay were serious. Track holdings of
such vegetables as carrots, spinach,
cauliflower, and beans have been
decreasing in northern markets
since early April. Many of the re-
cent supplies of early produce have
been from districts south of the
freezing damage line or from crops
matured before the freeze. Later in
the season there may be a gap in
shipments from some of the second
early districts. On the other hand,
the delayed and replanted truck
crops are coming along fast. Pres
ent receipts of most lines are not
especially small. Combined carlOt
shipments of fruits and vegetables
at the rate of about $500 carloads
per week day are only moderately
less than they were year ago.
