output from New York State is rath-
er sluggish under slow demand at
shipping points.
The Eastern cabbage crop seems
to be irregular but present condi-
tiOns indicate a fairly good crop of
the late varieties. If freezing wealth
er does not come until late in the
month. Some contracts for Danish
type cabbage for delivery the latter
part Of the season have been reported
in the Rochester district at SIS to
SIG per ton. Growers are being paid
SIS to $40 per ton in bulk for i'm
mediate delivery. Dealers at ship
ping points sell at $22 to $24 by the
carlOt. City markets show little
change at Soc to 9Oc per so pound
sack. These prices are about double
those prevailing year ago.
The celery crop has shown con-
siderable improvement during the
past month. Production larger than
that of last season is indicated in
the East and quality is reported
good. The market is dull and weak
and some of the early crop was
placed in storage. Sales in the Ro-
chester district are quoted at 85c to
95c for two-thirds crate. Eastern
celery sells at S1.25 to S1.5O in city
markets. Michigan celery sold lit
tie lower in Chicago at the beginning
of the month.
CARROTS are moving slowly out of
eastern producing sections with light
demand. Sales at $1.15 per 100
pounds per carlot were reported in |
the Rochester district and washed
stock sold around 81 per bushel bas-
ket.
Apple Prices Steady
Apple markets in early October /
show little further change. Prices
in Eastern and Mid-Western produc-
ing sections for standard varieties
and grades are mostly from 81 to
s1.25 per bushel A few varieties
sell higher and low-grade fruit
brings less.
Eastern city markets are literally
supplier including many windfalls as
a result of recent storms. Prices
were mostly unchanged on the best
luality stock but slightly lower on
he average quality and off-grade
.ruit. Action of the apple market
has been good because of the light
production and also considerable
)uying in the East for shipments to
come Mid-WesteFn sections where
ocal supplies are scarce. Midwest
'rn markets and producing sections
re a little higher than those of the
Cast. General range of jobbing
'rices is 81 to $3.50 for leading va
ieties of good quality. There are
ONE crops of 50 or more on Mac
ntosh and Delicious.
Pears have been selling higher
ince supplies of peaches became
ight. Eastern Bartletts and Clapp
'avOrites sold at S1.25 to $500 per
ushel in city markets.
Eastern grapes have been selling /
firm prices mostly soc to 4Oc per
z quart basket in the cities. Most
the market supply is from New
ork State. Quality seems to be
ather low from a market standpoint
nd much of the crop has been going
the juice factories. Supplies of :
estern grapes are heavy but de-
land improved with cooler weather
nd prices held firm.
Cranberfies are in fairly lax sup
~ and limited demand Some deal
IS complain that fewer cranberries
re used because of liberal supplies
competing fruits. Most of the
lrrent supply is from Cape Cod
'ction, and prices range near SO I
er quarter barrel. t
