PRODUCE MARKET NOTES

Trade In fruits and vegetables was
fairly active In the large market
centers the first 10 days of April,
reports the Bureau of Agricultural
Economics, but supplies of green
produce were liberal and price trend
OF many lines sharply downward.
The decrease of about 500 cars in
shipment for the 7-day period ap-
peared largely due to let-up in
shipments for the 7-day period ap-
peared largely due to a let-up In
grapefruit movement after the end
of the Texas shipping season.
Output of potatoes, apples, and
pears was In steady volume. Ship
ments of new potatoes seem to be
increasing about as fast as old crop
supplies decrease. Rapid gains in
shipments of southern string beans
and southwestern asparagus, peas,
and lettuce were responsible for
sharp market declines. Rain and
hail damage April 5 and 6 probably
affected the coming supplies of
beans and tomatoes from the Ever
glades section. Truck crops In many
parts of the country have been de-
layed by the cooler weather of the
past few weeks. Lettuce prices have
been cut nearly in half since the
arrival of heavy supplies from Ari-
zona.
Texas onions are moving In light
volume as yet. Celery. caulihower,
and sweet potatoes are coming
steadily, but shipments of spinach.
beets and tomatoes decreased.
Strawberry shipments decreased and
prices advanced early In the month.
but were declining again and mar
ket appears unsettled. Asparagus
showed a sharply declining trend,
dropping about SO per Gratis within
10 days I'm some markets, but cur
rent prices still are higher than
they were a year, ago. The celery |
market is another weak feature un-
der slow demand and accumulation |
of track holdings. Prices OF wes- |
tern carrots are only slightly lower, |
although shipments have increased. !
Potato Market Weak
Prices of potatoes were holding
orly fairly well after the continued
declines of March and early April.
Shipments continued In rather
heavy volume. considering the nor
thern crop shortage. Output OF old
stock was about 500 cars per week
day. Arrivals from Florida and Tex
as are increasing.
Eastern potatoes sell at $2.15 to
$3.50 per 100 pounds In eastern mar
kets, showing a few scattered de-
clines. Chicago is fairly steady at
So. rs to $2.20 by the carlot. Country
wide range at carlot shipping points
Is $3.50 to $1.90 for No. sacked
stock of the round white varieties.
The market is little stronger at
some Colorado and Idaho shipping
points, baking varieties selling $1.75
10 s2.10.
Weakness continued at Maine
shipping points on prospect or good
crops In the South and the fear OF
lower prices when southern ship
ments increase rapidly. The declin-
ing trend OF the past six weeks has
been an unsettling feature. The
keeping quality of the Maine crop
seems poorer than usual and sprout-
ng is becoming serious In many lots. |
More cars than usual are being sold
IN CONSIGNMENT Some OF this stock
shows inferior quality and condi- I
Ion.
Markets for Maine seed potatoes |
,lso have been dull and weak, al /
hough shipments have exceeded
hose of any previous season and |
will probably continue active
Milford chronicle., 1937-04-16

through the first half of April. Mar
ket tone is weak in western New
York. where supplies for sale are
more plentiful than at this time last
season.
Onions Cleaning Up
The slow start of the Texas onion
crop has enabled northern holdings
to move to market and prices of
good stock have shown upward trend
lately. Shippers In western New
York quoted 90c to $1.O5 per so
pounds. and Michigan $1.10 to $I.20.
Michigan shippers have been paying
growers 81 to $3.50 per 100 pounds
Tor No. stock in bulk.
Eastern yellow stock has been
selling at S5c to S1.25 per SO pounds
in eastern markets, although some
poor lots have ranged below these
levels. Texas onions bring $3.50 to
So in northern markets and $l.25 to
s1.5O at Texas shipping points for
partly graded stock. Texas onions
are showing irregular market quail
ity.
Cabbage supplies are liberal but
market shows a better tone with
some advances of 10c to 25c per
half-crate ON Texas stock. A few
sales of northern cabbage are re-
ported at soc to soc per so pounds
in eastern markets. Prices of sweet
potatoes are about steady at $1.50 TO
$3.50 per bushel for eastern stock in
eastern markets..
Receipts of carrots have been Ia
tber heavy and trading slow. re-
sulting in slightly weaker price ten
dency but no sharp decline. Supplies
on hand In the Rochester. New York
district are reported heavier than
year ago, but shippers are looking
for better prices on cold storage
carrots as soon as California ship
ments decrease. Small sizes sold to
truckers around 500 to s25 per ron.
Prices in city markets show little
change.
Virginia spinach sells at 6Oc to S5c |
per bushel in northern markets.
and Texas stock 60c to S1.10. with
slightly downward trend. Weeks
shipments included 213 cars from
Texas, go from Virginia, and IS from
and combined shipments
were about the same. as year ago.
Prices of southern tomatoes were
up 25c a bushel In some northern
markets In response to reported |
injury to part of the Flor
Ida crop. Southern string beans and |
peas show irregular market trend,
but snap beans have been advancing !
1t southern shipping points.
Firm Apple Markets
Prices of apples have been firmly |
for long time, with oc-
saslonal small advances. Fruit of
good quality Is apparently rather
scarce In some markets. Prevailing
obbing range is $3.50 to $3.50 per
,ushel, and majority of sales are be-
ween s1.75 and s2.25. Standard va
'ieties, like Baldwin. are as high per
