PRODUCE MARKET NOTES

producing sections. Most sales Of
good bulk stock in western New York
are from $3.50 to S1.85, occasionally
higher. Shippers report active de-
mand for the large sizes but little
interest in small onions.
/ Cabbage is moving to market at
the rate of about 100 cars per day,
but tending to decrease since the mid
die of the month. Prices are about
steady in eastern markets at 4Oc to
60c per so pounds. Red cabbage
brings s5c to 81 in a few markets,
selling mostly in small lots. North
Carolina new cabbage was quoted at
81 per hamper in Baltimore. Western
New York producing sections report
nearly steady prices at $3.50 to S14.-
80 per ton bulk for Danish varieties.
Wisconsin prices are slightly higher
than the eastern market. A few kraut
makers are paying as high as Sl4 per
ton for domestic type cabbage de-
livered at the factory. Much OF the
stock is of ordinary quality and runs
to small sizes.
Carrots are moving slowly at 6Oc
to Csc per 100 pounds in the Roches-
ter district and 75c' to 81 per bushel
in several eastern markets. Yield
per acre in the East probably will
average somewhat lower than last
season. Most of the commercial crop
has been harvested.
Movement of celery to storage is
rather moderate, compared with the
size OF the crop. About 100000 crates
are in storage in "a western New
York warehouses - about $4,000
crates less than last season to date.
Some storage celery is already goign
to market. Prices hold recent ad-
vances to a level of $3.50 to S1.75 per
crate and eastern city markets quote
s175 to 1925.
Apple Market Steady
Not much further change is report
ed in the apple market. Supplies are
liberal, demand slow, and prices
about steady, although a few gains
here and there indicate that possibly
the lowest point of the season has
been passed. Eastern carlot ship
ments, except from Virginia, have
been rather light as yet, although mo-
tor truck movement is active. The
CIOp III VII anu NNCoh
is more. than double that of last sea-
son and buyers appear rather scarce
for the large quantities offered. Pro-
portion of number one stock seems
to be less than usual.
Delicious sell in Virginia at about
the same range as in Michigan, 81
to $110 per bushel basket. and in
Washington state SLIPS to $1.40 for
extra fancy. Jonathans bring S5c at
Virginia shipping points and soc to
Csc in the Pacific Northwest. Romes
sell around sim the East and S110
to SLIPS in the Northwest. Many sales
of standard varieties in the East, in
Baldwin, Greening, York, and
others sell around zoe. Eastern city
markets quote many sales of good
fruit from 75c to 81 with some tops
Of SIPS for few varieties.
Grape markets have weakened a
little since the middle of the month.
Concords sell from 35c to 42c per IL
Dound basket in eastern cities and
around SOC in producing sections of
New York State. Proportion of choice
luality grapes appears to be rather
small in the eastern and middle west
srn crop. Wineries and juice plants
n central New York are paying
lround $50 for best grapes and ship
,ers are buying poorer lots at s25
md some as low as SIS bulk per ton.
Demand for pears is light. Most
u the eastern crop is out of the mar
let. Bartletts bring s1.50 to s1.75
,er bushel in the cities, Boso S1.75 to
2, and Kieffers 75c to SIPS.
