Milford chronicle., 1937-10-22

during spells of cooler weather. Cab
bage supplies are arriving from the
Far West and Upper Lakes region,
/ but heaviest shipments. as usual, are
| from western and central New York.
Eastern city markets are about
steady at 40c to Soc per 50-pounds
and s1s to s22 per ton bulk. Prices
have weakened slightly in producing
sections this month. Bulk stock
brings SIS per ton in western New
York with slow demand Wisconsin
prices ranged $13 to $17.
Onion supplies are moderate to lib
eral in the cities, demand slow to
moderate, and prices about steady at
90c to $1.15 per so pounds for good
yellow stock. Some pooper Connecti-
cut Valley and other eastern stock
brought 75c to soc. Demand is rather
light in producing sections, but many
growers and shippers are holding for
higher prices. Good onions of large
size seem rather scarce in the East.
Some have been selling as high as
81 per so pounds in the Rochester,
New York district.
Demand for carrots continues light.
A few sales of topped and unwashed
stock are reported at soc to 75c per
100 pounds sacked. Greater trade
activity is expected with the progress
of the harvest season for carrots.
Because of dry weather in produc-
ing sections it has been rather hard
to find large lots of celery of good
quality. Prices have tended upward,
best lots are firm in eastern produc-
ing sections at $3.50 per crate in
large lots. Prices in city markets
range firm at s1.25 to So. Prices of
lettuce are fairly steady in city mar
kets but little weaker in Far West
ern producing sections. Eastern let
tuce still sells at SOC to Use per crate
in eastern cities.
Dull Apple Markets
Apple receipts continue liberal, de-
mand slow, and prices about steady.
Harvesting is active and storage
movement heavy in producing sec
tions. Price ranges are much the
same at country shipping points of
the East, South, and Middle West,
although there is considerable varia-
ton according to variety. Greening
and Baldwin sell generally at 60c to
75c for bushel pack. Some Mcintosh
and Delicious sell upward to 81 at
shipping points. Staymans are SELL
ing mostly at 75c to soc in Virginia
and West Virginia. Barrel pack of
York ranges 81 to $3.50. Proportion
of No. 1 fruit is reported somewhat
less than usual in southern produc-
ing sections. City markets still re-
port most standard grades and va
rieties from SOC to 81, few of the
best sell higher.
Most of the pears, except Kieffers,
have been marketed. Many of the
Kieffers are being taken by Gamers.
New York quotes this variety 75c to
81 bushel. Bartletts tbring s1.65
to So.
Active marketing of grapes has
been delayed by lateness of the sea-
son in some sections and lack of ma
turity. Growers have left the crop
oil the vines as long as possible be-
fore severe frosts. Prices were de-
clining slowly early in the month,
but showed firmness near the middle
Of October. Concords brought 31c to
S5c per 12-quart basket in central
New York and sold in the city job
bing trade at 40c to 45c. Michigan
Concords brought 32c to 33c in the
Middle West. Prices of California
grapes were tending upward with
good demand. Juice varieties
brought $50 to $40 per ton in Cali
Iornia producing sections.
