CROP AND MARKET NOTES. 
The outlook Is bright for all kinds of live stock. 
Many poor cattle have been marketed recently. 
Florida strawberries are more plentiful, and lower. 
Fancy table apples are In good demand at higher 
prices. 
Hay and straw are firm and a little higher for some 
grades. 
A mammoth hog ranch Is to be established near 
Nevada, Mo. 
An earthquake shook up this city and Long Island 
early on Tuesday morning. 
Live stock feeding Is reported to have been ex¬ 
tremely profitable the past winter. 
Milch cows are scarce, and are Increasing rapidly 
In price In many parts of the country. 
Higher prices for pork are Improbable, as present 
high figures have largely curtailed the demand. 
The great dressed meat firms of the West continue 
the establishment of branches all over the Bast. 
Many Western farmers are reported to be holding 
their corn until the prospects for the next crop are 
known. 
Kansas taxed all live stock on hand March 1, hence 
large quantities were rushed to market Just previous 
to that date. 
Live fowls and chickens have declined about two 
cents per pound since our last report, caused by 
heavy receipts. 
Dairy Commissioner Schraub has reappointed W. 
W. Hall, George A. Smith and Milton T. Morgan to 
be cheese Inspectors. 
Receipts of cheese are light, and holders are firm 
In their demands. Small sizes full cream sell for 12% 
to 12* cents. There Is little export trade. 
The tendency of prices of the better grades of 
evaporated apples is a trifle downward. Of the 
chops and cores and skins It Is upward. 
The work of the New Fork Fish Commission appears 
from the report recently submitted to the legislature 
to have been only “moderately successful.” 
Beans are In light receipt and firm for Marrows 
and Mediums, but I’ea beans are a little easier. 
Kidneys, both Bed and White, are In light supply. 
Consumption of pork Is reported to have fallen off 
largely In the West, and the consumption of beef, 
mutton and poultry to have Increased proportion¬ 
ately. 
The egg market Is steady at present prices, not¬ 
withstanding heavy arrivals. No more such sudden 
and extreme variations are to be expected as have 
occurred during the past few weeks. 
From London comes the report that hog and beef 
products have reached quite a high figure, and there 
Is every reason to anticipate a reasonable-sized 
famine In these articles. Importers have ceased to 
look for very material aid from the States. 
The butter market Is considerably Improved, es¬ 
pecially for fancy grades of new. Receipts are light, 
and the demand good. Much of the old butter Is sold 
to go back to the country towns from which It came 
originally. Producers better go Into the cold storage 
business. 
Hops are dull, and but little Is doing, As to the 
London market, the Agricultural Gazette Bays that 
there are just sufficient sellers of English hops to 
keep the market In buyers’ favor, and consumers are 
availing themselves of this opportunity to cover 
their requirements until the next crop. The very 
low price ruling for old hops Is also causing brewers 
to stock them. 
Ths New York Park Board has adopted a resolution 
appointing a committee consisting of Charles A. 
Dana, J. Plerrepont Morgan, Addison C. Brown, Seth 
Low and C. S. Sargent to examine the parks north of 
the Harlem River with a view to determining the 
most suitable locality for the establishment and 
maintenance of a botanical garden, and to report to 
the Board their recommendations for the selection 
of a site. 
Ex-Secretary Rusk says that farmers In all parts 
of the country are Inquiring as to the probable profit 
of feeding corn to hogs at present prices. He says 
that the prospect for large returns from judicious 
hog feeding has never been so bright as now. In 
average years It takes about nine pounds of hog, 
live weight, to bring the price of a buBhel of corn. 
If 10 pounds of pork are made from a bushel of corn, 
then the present prices of hogs would make corn 
bring about 85 cents a bushel If fed to these animals, 
which Is about twice as much as It Is now quoted on 
the Chicago market.
