Tomato Market Is Down In '62 Fewer Pennsylvania tomato es weie shipped to market last and prices were down sbaiply fiom those received by gioweis in 1961, according to the Annual Repoit of the Fed eial-State Market News Serv ice. IViaior factor influencing the decline in puces was the heavy supply sent to niaiket during the hist half ot the season when supplies from competing aieas ueie also heavy. John P Capus, market news repie&entative with the U. S. ODepaitment of Agriculture’s Agucultural_ Maiketing Service in Philadelphia, said the op posite marketing situation pre vailed m 1961. At that time Pennsylvania supplies were heay lest in the last half of the season, while those from com aietmg areas yvere light. Anoth er conti ibuting factor was heavy rainfall during the grow mg season, which lowered quality and production. As a lesult of loyvered quality, de mand failed to strengthen, he added. Duiing its main season, July through August, Pennsylvania ranked next only to California and New Jersey as the leader in supplies of fresh market to matoes In August it topped all states in supplies going into the 10 main Eastern markets with 397 carlots, 87 more than New Jersey, yvhile California had only 48 carlots. Campus urges tomato growers Pennsihama tomato growers to keep fully informed on mar ket conditions not only in their immediate aiea but in compet ing areas as well. By keeping informed on trends, prices and the prevailing market situat ion, growers will be better ab le to determine whether they are in a weak or strong mar keting position. Analysis of daily market news reports, al ong with other available up-to the-minute information, can lead to effective selling and buy ing. Capus declared.
