Fruit Prices Firm in New York; Vegetable Prices Dull and Lower.
Prices of apples in barrels continued firm in the New York market
throughout the week from Sept. 26 to Oct. 1, principally on account of
light arrivals of good stock. Prices of boxed stock declined on account
of heavier arrivals, but the trade is still looking for large red stock,
and taking it readily.
Potatoes continued in light demand with very liberal supplies, and
prices gradually declined until Maine Cobblers in 165-lb. sacks reached
$2.75 to $3, with few buyers.
Receipts of good onions were light with prices firm.
Peaches from New York were in light supply and mostly of only fair
condition and poor color. Demand was moderate with good stock selling
readily for $4.50 to $5 a bu.; ordinary and poor stock sold slowly in a
$2 to $4 range.
Sweet potatoes eased off considerably in price. Grapes were dull
throughout the week selling slowly at the lowest figures yet realized.
Cabbage was not in demand and prices gradually declined closing at $30
to $35 per ton for New York domestic. The first car of California
tomatoes arrived on Thursday, but with heavy supplies of nearby stock on
hand, did not sell so readily as was anticipated. The tomatoes were in
excellent condition, with a few slightly overripe. Best lugs sold at
$1.75 to $2 with ripe stock at $1.50, but were not cleaned up and sold
at $1.25 to $1.50 the following day.
