Crop and Market Notes—(Continued.) 
The exportations of Western flax seed are 
larger this year than ever before, and it has 
the feature with linseed cake, that as Rus¬ 
sia has prohibited its export, England and 
other countries are compelled to turn their 
orders this way to make up the deficiency 
in its regular supplies. 
Otto G. Mayer & Co., inform us that the 
shipments of apples from the port of New 
York for the week ending November 7, 
were as follows: To Liverpool, 17,000, to 
Glasgow, 7,000, to London, 1,200, to Ham¬ 
burg, 800 barrels. Total, 26,000 barrels. 
The total exports for the week from the 
United States and Canada were 116,000 
barrels. 
Messrs. J. C. Houghton & Co., Liverpool, 
cable that at the sales there November 9, 
the following prices were realized for 
American apples : Newtown Pippins $2 93 
to $6 08; Kings, $3.17 to $3 66; Baldwins, 
$2 44 to $3.05 ; Greenings, $2 20 to $2 68 ; 
Spys, $2 20 to $2 93; Ben Davis, $2 68 to 
$3.17; Roxbury Russets and Seeks, $2 44 
to $2 68. The arrivals were heavy, and 
prices lower in consequence. 
In relation to hopR the Waterville(N. Y.) 
Times of November 10, says that the market 
has been rather quiet owing no doubt to the 
increased confidence in the market on the 
part of growers. Several purchases were 
made last week in the vicinity of Hamilton 
by a dealer on the Waterville market at 20 
cents, and this has caused a firmer feeling 
all around. Twenty cents was also paid in 
Cooperstown, Oneonta, Munnsville and 
other places. This price was for the best 
grades ot course. For other grades as low 
as 15 cents has been paid within the past 
week and from that price up to 18 cents. 
The October condition of potatoes as re¬ 
ported by the Department of Agriculture 
has been equaled only once since 1880, and 
the average yield, according to these pre¬ 
liminary estimates,has not been surpassed 
In the last 10 years. It averages 93 9 bush¬ 
els per acre. The warm weather in Septem¬ 
ber dried out the soil and checked incipient 
potato rot, which was threatened after the 
rains of August, so effectually that it is 
scarcely reported except in Pennsylvania, 
some counties in southern New York and 
certain districts in New Jersey. The qual¬ 
ity is generally reported good except in the 
regions infested by rot.

Is no material advance In prices. The most demand

which clog them up, and which rapidly destroy them
