Produce Market Notes

Rush of seasonable fruits and
vegetables during late June and the
first week of July brought the carlOt
figures nearer those of last season,
but the weekly totals still are 10 to
Is per cent less as compared with a
year ago. July is melon month. Po-
tatoes are near the height of the
early crop season. Cantaloupes, to-
matoes and lettuce are popular hot
weather lines and contribute greatly
to present carlOt activity.
Produce is coming at the rate of
5000 carloads a day, and the rate of
movement should tend to increase
during the next four months, as one
after another the northern prOduc-
ing sections reach full volume.
Shortage as compared with last sea-
son is most evident in the orchard
fruits. particularly eastern apples
and peaches. Far western fruit is
filling the gap to some extent with
heavy shipments of cherries, some
pears, plums, oranges and grapes,
and apples, both the new crop and
from storage.
The price trend this month is
somewhat irregular, in contrast with
the general downward trend through
most of June. Potatoes have adj
vanced in some markets and de-
clined in others, but in general the
market level is firmly held because
of the moderate receipts. Melons
are lower partly because of uncer-
tain quality of some receipts. Mod
crate supplies of cantaloupes are
selling at slight yhigher prices COM
pared with the first of he month. To-
matoes are lower. Apple supplies
are light and prices well maintain
ed. Peaches are in unusually small
supply for the time of year, but ship
ments tend to increase and prices in
northern markets slanted downward
the first week of July.

Shipments of melons are reaching

becaue weather and prices are not
very favorable and quality. tee, has
been somewhat uneven. Many car
loads of about 1000 medium-sized
melons have sold around $50 in pro-
ducing sections and at $3.50 to 5000
in northern cities, but larger, finer
stock has sold considerably above
these figures. Most price changes
have been downward the first week
of July. Supplies are liberal in
nearl yall markets and demand slow
to very slow. Medium-sized melons
at wholesale ranged from 20 to 35
cents in eastern cities.
CantalOupes in carlOts are mostly
from California and Arizona at this
season. Supplies are liberal but de-
mand has been fairly good although

sell better in a year of moderate
fruit supplies, and several of the
large markets report a fairly good

cradle quantities from the middle
South and from Illinois and Cali

Maryland, Delaware and New Jer-
sey has been trucked to New York,
Philadelphia and other large eastern
markets. Best lots sell in jObbing
way at $1.25 to $1.50 a bushel and
the smaller fruit at 60 cents to $1.25.
Transparents from Maryland and
Virginia brought $1.25 to $1.5O in
Boston and few lots of this va
riety from Illinois sold at $1.75.
Washington quoted Virginia Trans
parents at $125. Sales of cold stor-
age apples are mostly of Virginia

Milford chronicle., 1932-07-15
Peach Shipments Light

Shipments of peaches have been in
light volume so far and are expected
to continue so, at least from the
large southern producing sections.
The finest southern mid-seasOn va
rieties have sold as high as $3.50
per bushel in some markets, but re-
cent sales have been at lower levels.
Top for. North Carolina Hileys at
New York is 81, and $3.75 at Balti-
more. Best lots of Early Rose reach
ed $3.50 in that market. General run
of this variety sold in various mar
kets at $2.25 to $2.75. Firm cOndi-
tiOns prevailed in Georgia producing
sections, where Hileys of large size
are quoted at 50 to $225, and small
er sizes around So. The Georgia
peach harvest started out slowly,
owing to delayed conditions and the
extremely light crop. The late va
rieties are expected to mature at
about the usual time because of the
benefit resulting from recent rain
fall. Local estimates of the Georgia
peach crop have been revised down
ward. Many growers picked but
half to three-quarters of the esti-
mated yield of the early kinds, de-
spite the increase in size resulting
from rain. Many shippers are now
expecting an output of only about
800 cars of peaches. Sizes will be
large but the fruit is thinly set and
the large size tends to go with an
increase of poorly shaped fruit more
subject to disease. The greater part
of the crop seems to have passed to
the control of dealers who contract
ed for the Early Rose, Hileys and
Elbertas at a price range mostly
$3.50 to 1925 per bushel.
Milford chronicle., 1932-07-15
Firm Potato Markets

Potatoes usually lead the volume
of supply but are second just now
during the height of the melon sea-
son. They are coming at the moder-
ate rate of about 800 cars daily from
an increasing list of mid-season po-
tato shipping sections. Supply avil-
able would be light but for the re-
ceipts from that intensive little two
county section on the Eastern Shore
of Virginia. Potatoes from Virginia
comprise much more han half the
daily market receipts. Eastern Shore
potatoes are likely to be consider
ably less than they were last season
on account of reduced acreage and
the effect of early drough. Ship
ments to recent date were only about
three-fifths those to the correspond
ing date last season. Movement by
trucq has been heavier but amounts
to only small percentage of the to-
tai. Digging is nearly done in the
district sOuh of Cape Charles and is
now active in Accomac county. Mary
land growers in the Eastern Shore
district seem anxious to dig and
there may be moderate movement
from this section the first of July,
providing prices remain near recent
levels. Distribution of Eastern Shore
potato shipments has been fairly
good. Shipmens to points in Ohio
and Michigan have been quite heavy
but few cars have been shipped di-
rect to Chicago. Shipments to Can
ada are running heavier than last
season. The Middle West is being
supplied with increasing receipts
from the Kaw Valley section. Next
month Nebraska will reach many
midwestern potato market from a
mid-season crop expected to be about
as large as that of last year. Eastern
markets will be drawing heavily on
a moderately large crop in New Jer-
sey. The eastern market crop of po-
tatOes appears rather light, although
there are apparently enough for the
markets in view of the limited de-
mand this season. Most markets re-
port fairly liberal supplies now and
slow to moderate demand. Price
trend was somewhat irregular the
first week of July, advancing a little
in New York and Baltimore but
slanting downward in other eastern
centers and following a general job
bling range of $3.50 to $2.S5 per bar
rel for Eastern Shore Cobblers. Ship
pers were getting mostly So in pro-
1ucing sections.
