Apples Fall From Favor In Baltimore Market Report
The Baltimore market for apples is weak with slim wholesale and retail demand. Only Baldwins and Ben Davis stay plentiful at 2.50 to 4.00 per barrel, Russets scarce at 4.50 to 5.00, while grades hover around 13 to 15 cents per peck, occasionally rising to 16 cents. Storage apples dominate as fresh arrivals wane, and last year’s strong demand faded amid storm devastation in Europe and reduced U.S. output. A Harper's Ferry mirage study describes a valley view from Bolivar Heights seen on May 3, noting clear outlines and similar past phenomena.
