FRESH FRUIT AND VEGETABLE PRICES - 1957

LEADING SHIPPING POINTS

Prepared by Leo G. Heflin, Fruit and Vegetable Division, Market News Branch, Agricultural Marketing Service

INTRODUCTION

The prices listed in this report represent sales in Wholesale lots of fresh fruits and vegetables at New York City, Chicago, and at important shipping points where Market News field stations were located during 1957. The report also includes monthly average auction prices for important fresh fruits, compiled by the Statistical and Historical Research Branch, Agricultural Marketing Service, from information contained in the New York Daily Fruit Reporter and the Chicago Daily Fruit and Vegetable Reporter.

The wholesale prices for private sales at New York and Chicago are simple averages of representative prices for each Tuesday in the month. The local market reporters estimate volume of sale at different price levels, taking into consideration quality, condition, and other factors. These wholesale prices in most cases represent private sales in quantities of less than carload lots. They generally represent sales made by the first seller on the wholesale market. In a few instances, prices representing sales in carlots or sales at auction are reported, but these are indicated in the body of the report. PRICES ARE FOR STOCK OF GENERALLY GOOD MERCHANTABLE QUALITY AND CONDITION - u.s. NO. 1 GRADE WHEN QUOTED.

The prices reported for important shipping points or shipping areas are simple averages of the mid-points of the daily range throughout the year as reported by the local Market News officeso They refer to sales in straight or mixed carloads or truckloads, unless otherwise noted. An average shipping point price for a month generally is shown only when there were quotations for six or more days during that month.

1'Sales f.o.b." refer to transactions in which the buyer assumes responsibility for the commodity at shipping point. "Delivered sales, shipping point basis", refer to transactions in Which the seller assumes responsibility for delivery to the market. Prices for the latter group of transactions are adjusted to a shipping point basis by making appropriate deductions for transportation and protective services.

The index of wholesale prices for fruits and vegetables at New York and Chicago was computed by weighting the monthly prices shown in this report by the monthly carlot and trucklot unloads, adjusted to carlot equivalents, reported in New York and Chicago. The index was adjusted for seasonal variation based on experience in the base period, 1935-39. The index of wholesale prices of fruits and vegetables at New York and Chicago was computed from prices for the most important fruits and vegetables. The index numbers should be considered as representative of prices of fruits and vegetables on the markets at New York and Chicago. They should not be considered as exact weighted indices. They do not include prices for produce sold in other sections of the country, nor do they include products sold on these markets but not included in this price summary.

A table of estimated value per carlot of fresh fruits and vegetables 1956 to ~957 by months at New York and Chicago is included in this r8port. These estimates are intended to indicate a comparative trend rather than an absolute value per car. Therefore, uniform loadings (prewar basis) per carload were used over the entire period in computing relative values.

!/The monthly carlot values in this table were computedjl,om representative average prices including both private sales and auction transactions, and average quantities per carload (pre-war besis) of each leading fruit and vegetable. For each commodity this average monthly carlot value was weighted by domestic carload, boat and available truck unloads in obtaining a monthly average carlot value for all commoditites. Estimates of farmers' market truck receipts were not availablefor Chicago. Estimated values for the year were obtained by weighting the monthly figures shown in the table by the monthly unloads.

Fruits include: Apples, blueberries, cantaloups, cherries, cranberries, grapefruit, grapes, honeybell melons,. honeydew melons, lemons, oranges, peaches, pears, plums and fresh prunes, strawberries, and ~te~elons. Vegetable includes Asparagus, beets, snap beans, broccoli, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, celery, corn, cucumbers, eggplant, escarole, kale, lettuce, onions, peas, peppers, potatoes, radishes, spinach, sweetpotatoes, and tomatoes.

The ratio of the volume used each month to total domestic unloads varied generally from 85 to 95 percent. Some of the minor commodities were not used in the computations. Their inclusion would make little difference in the average value per car.
