CROP AND MARKET NOTES. 
Limed e«gs are slow of sale. 
The tendency of bean prices Is downward. 
High prices of dairy products limit ex¬ 
port buying. 
Canadian eggs are Imported freely at 
present prices. 
Florida oranges are going to Europe quite 
extensively. 
Buckwheat flour is slow of sale on ac¬ 
count of unfavorable weather. 
It is thought that about 25 per cent of the 
corn crop is yet to be gathered. 
Exports of apples last week for the 
United Kingdom and Continent, 28,745 bar¬ 
rels. 
Large quantities of apples have gone Into 
storage In this city as well as In other 
places. 
California hop growers regret selling 
their crop so early, as prices show signs of 
advancing. 
Dealers say that, one year with another, 
the Thanksgiving market pays the best 
prices for poultry. 
The auction system has been adopted In 
the Zvnzlbar clove market, the greatest 
clove market in the world. 
The receipts of hogs at Western markets 
Wednesday beat the record, reaching 130.- 
000 Last year, corresponding time, they 
were 95,000. 
California fruit growers are trying to 
concoct a plan for disposing of their pro¬ 
ducts directly to Eastern consumers, so as 
to lessen the price to the latter and increase 
their own profits. 
It is reported that the Mexican corn crop 
failure will create almost a famine In all 
districts in Mexico, and that the demand 
for American corn will aggregate millions 
of bushels. 
While there have been fair shipments of 
bran from this market to England, the first 
lot of rye feed for the foreign market was 
taken Thursday, a lot of 10 tons, with the 
price paid, $18, bags included. 
Jerusalem Artichokes are occasionally 
seen in market, but the commission men 
say there Is no quotable price for them. 
They sell for whatever price buyers are dis¬ 
posed to pay. At present from $1 to $1.50 
per barrel seems to be the limit. 
Discouraging crop reports are received 
from the presidency of Madras. India. The 
cotton crop in the districts of Bellary, Kur- 
nool and Cuddapap. in that presidency, has 
proved almost a total failure, while in sev¬ 
eral other districts the grain crops are 
withering. 
Statistician Dodge wires that the Agri¬ 
cultural Department will Issue on Decem¬ 
ber 10 a report giving the condition of win¬ 
ter wheat. This is contrary to the practice 
heretofore, but Is considered Important this 
year because of the uncertainty as to con¬ 
dition of growing crop. 
Reports from Chautauqua County, N. Y., 
say the grape season is about over for 
1891 The crop has been enormous. Oyer 
25,000 tons were shipped, of which about 
700 were from Fredonia. Prices have been 
low, owing to the vast quantity of other 
fruit. Everything set ms most favorable 
for raising grapes. There have been no at¬ 
tacks of mildew. 
The Farmers and Dairymen’s Associa¬ 
tion of Philadelphia fixed the price of 
milk to dealers for December, at 4 % cents 
per quart. This advance of half a cent was 
caused by increased price of feed and the 
scarcity and price of stock. The present 
deficiency In supply Is largely caused by 
farmers giving up the keeping of milch 
< ows. It does not appear that they are 
getting a fair share of the price obtained 
for milk from consumers.

some parts of Indiana, on account of re¬ 
cent mild winters and are doing great dam

A Pennsylvania farmers’ team stuck in

000 . The recent death of John G. Borden 
brought about the change now proposed.

meeting of the American Clydesdale Asso¬
