Arrivals of fruits and vegetables in | carlots are rather light for the time of year, says the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture, Bureau of Agricul- tural Economics, Market News Service. Marketward movement in recent weeks has been about one-third less than for the corresponding time last season. Yet many of the markets report rather large holdings because of liberal sup- plies from local sources and by motor truck, while lack of brisk demand | hinders active disposal of stocks on ind. The long" downward trend of many commodity markets no doubt affects the course of values on fresh produce. Po- tatoes, with the main crop only slightly larger than last season and shipments some weeks only half those of corre- sponding weeks in 1930, have been selling at less than half the prices pre- vailing in September last vear. Th2 cabbage crop is estimated lighter this season, but prices are somewhat lower. Sweet potatoes are not much above average production, but prices are less than half those of a year ago in some markets. On the other hand, some products make a good price showing. Onions in some Eastern markets are nearly double the prices of a year ago because of crop reduction. ‘The celery crop looks rather light in sqveral producing sec- tions and prices are decidedly higher than in September last year. Pears cn selling fully as high as they sold a ago, and the same is true of Wesl em grapes and muskmelons. Most other kinds of fresh produce are distinctly on the bargain list, showing small net returns to growers. Potato Markets Unsettled. After the price declines in late Au- gust and the first half of September, the potato market has been fairly steady since the middle of the month. Further dec! in some markets were about balanced slight gains in others dur- ing' the Y.h{r week in September. Ar- _rivals vary from light in Boston and itimore to moderate or liberal in most other markets. Demand is fairly good in Philadelphia and Baltimore but slow elsewhere, Carlot shipments from- all sources have been light, often around 500 cars daily, and weekly totals are sometimes only half those of a year ago. ‘The light demand reported in most large markets may :ecuum for failure n! the price to respond to the Teport g product] in the main crop rerlon (mly slightly larger than the llght crop of last season. Price range below r 100 pounds in Chicago carlot r 2t contrasts with sales a year ago well above $2. Eastern markets also quote prices averaging about half these revailing in late September, 1930. &en viest Eastern shipments are from Maine and New Jersey. Cob- blers dropped 10 cents in Boston, but were fairly steady elsewhere at $1.15 to $1.25 per 100 pounds. Green Moun- tains sold at 90 cents to $1.25. New Jersey Cobblers were irregular but av- eraged fairly steady in Eastern markets at 90 cents to $1.25. They exceeded $1.50 in a few southern ci Island Cobblers were mady w firm the third week of Septeml was dull I'. eastern_country shipping points. Early prices in North- ern Maine around 50 cents per 100 e "“?’s‘n"s’o’ 1 $780 s vear ago range of a year ago and the range is considerably lower than further West where Wisconsin mo- are selling in producing sec- at 75 cents. Much of the crop shortage of crop has been nvmly hurt by drouth. Sweet Potatoes Plentiful. Rather liberal suppuu of sweet pou foes are npm-ted 0st markets an September at 50 to 75 cents per bushel in five leading eastern ets. East- en Shore sweets sell at $1.50 to $2 in most eastern markets, but reached low levels in New York with some sales of inferior stock below $1 per barrel. Onion Markets Steady. The country-wide onion market nosi- tion is strengthened by the reported light production and the relative short- age of large size onions, Shipments 50 far have been much lighter than season, although carlot movement was increasing in mid-September. The late crop is forecasted per_cent be- Jow the large production of last year. Many sections report hlch percenuge of onions of only medium and small size Carlot. receipts are moderate at: eastern markets but demand is slow. Prices have been slightly irregular since the middle of the month but average fairly steady at 85 cents to'$1.15 per 50 pounds. Shipping points in the Con- necticut Valley and in Western New York quote sacked stock at 90 cents to $1.05, with slow, fairly steady ma kets. The crop in New York, accord- ing to recent estimate, is 1,000,000 bushels under that of last year, and }he total late crop 8,000,000 bushels ess. Cabbage Trade Slow. Demand for cabbage continues slow in eastern producing sections. The hot weather of mid-September was a hin-| drance to orderly marketing of the crop | in Western New York, now the heaviest shipping district. Bulk domestic cab- bage is selling -at $8 to 39 per ton at country shipping points, which is some- what lower than the prevailing level a year ago but cash price paid grow- ers is only 85 to $6. The total carlot shipments from that section are a few hundred cars larger than at the same, date last eeason. the late long-keeping varieties have oc- curred, but not much activity in that line is expected until the colder weather of early Winter. Prices in the large eastern markets are irregular but fairly steady at $15 to $18. Baltimore 8d: vanced to $19. Some midwestern mar. kets declined. ‘The bulk of celery shipments are still from New York, with a few cars daily | from the West. Receipts are moderate in most of the prinecipal consuming mar- kets and demand slow. The crop in moet sections was considerably injured by weather conditions, insects or dis- ease, reducing thz quantity of good stock available. Prices in Western New York have.been comparatively high at $2 to $2.50 per two-thirds crate on the early varieties. Late celery is not much of a feature until October. Eastern celery brings $2 to $3 per crate in the largs city markets, with top of $3.25 in Wash- ngton. " Earrots have shown but little change % in price in producing sections.
