Crop and Market Notes— Continued. 
When Is a fruit not a fruit? 
Cabbages are In large supply. 
Blackberries are dull and price low. 
Huckleberries are plentiful, dull and lower. 
The demand for and supply of broom corn are both 
light. 
Hay is dull under Increasing receipts and light 
sales. 
Dry beans are In light supply, and the demand Is 
small. 
Receipts of domestic potatoes are mostly of new 
Southern stock. 
Cherries are scarce, the demand Is good, and the 
price well sustained. 
“ Hawaiian water-melons ” have been a feature 
of the fancy fruit stores. 
There is a wide range between the best and the 
poorest of the fresh vegetables. 
The annual meeting of the New York Produce Ex¬ 
change took place on May 31 at 2:15 p. m, 
Strawberries are In large supply, but the quality Is 
very Irregular. Jersey Is sending in much flneirult. 
Receipts of apples continue to average several 
hundred barrels per day, but good fruit is wanted 
at advanced prices. 
Cheese Is somewhat lower and dull, especially the 
lower grades. There Is a good home demand for 
small full-cream cheeses. 
A farmer's milling company has been organized at 
B'osston, Minn., and preparations are being made to 
erect a 75-barrel mill at that place during the coming 
summer. 
The American Cottonseed Oil Company will shortly 
begin exporting cottonseed oil In bulk, and is now 
having built In Scotland a tank steamer frr that 
purpose. 
Few peaches have been received, and these are 
mostly of such a quality that they would be nearly 
unsalable In a well supplied market. They sell for 
good prices simply because they are scarce. 
A Baltimore firm recently exported to France, a 
single shipment of 100 tons of American hay. This 
Is believed to be the largest shipment ever made, 
although It Is not, as has been stated, the tlrst. 
Dried apples are a little lower, but the general 
opinion Is that the price has touched bottom. There 
Is a better feeling and the market Is Arm. Future 
prices will depend largely upon the prospect for this 
year's crop. 
The farmers at Turner, Or., have Incorporated the 
Red Star Milling and Storage Company. Capital stock 
$12,000. The object Is to grind up their own wheat 
and sell the flour, thus saving the usual commission 
paid the miller. 
Reports of the cotton crop from every county In 
Texas say good stands prevail over 70 per cent of 
the cotton region, while the 30 per cent Is In bad 
shape. An Increase of acreage of nine per cent over 
last year is Indicated. 
A wholesale dealer In beef deprecates the rapid 
Increase In the number of creameries In Maine. 
These establishments UBe up all the cream, leaving 
nothing for the calves but sklm-mllk, and as a re¬ 
sult Maine veal Is a scarce article.

The Eclipse Egg Carrier. 
This new egg carrier, holding 12 dozen 
eggs, is made of the best tin, handsomely 
Japanned, with folding fillers made from 
cloth paper. A hinged lid closes over 
the carrier, making it dust-proof, and it 
has a lock and key. This is not only the 
best egg carrier on earth, but is a com- 
1H5 cans of condensed milk and 820 cans of cream.

The market In nearly all kinds of poultry is dull. 
Receipts are moderate, but there Is considerable 
stock on hand, and the efforts of dealers to work It 
off, do not help matters. Heavy stocks with warm 
weather Imminent are not desirable. 
Achromatic Telescope. Kit- 
Few things are more interesting or 
useful in both leisure and busy moments 
in the country than a

Several Jamaica capitalists have combined to 
establish a frult-preservlng Industry In Jamaica. 
Efforts will shortly be made to Induce the United 
States Government to abolish duties on tropical pre¬ 
served fruits, on the ground that all retlned sugars 
are bought In the United States and admitted Into 
Jamaica duty free. 
Eggs are a little higher than at our last report, but 
have been still higher during the week. On account 
of heavy receipts, there has been a decline, and quo¬ 
tations are extreme. The quality of much of the 
Southern stock Is poor. The Boston and Philadel¬ 
phia markets are Arm at 1634 cents, and Chicago Is 
steady at 13J4 to 14 cents. 
The contract has keen signed by which the United 
States becomes owner of the Cherokee Strip. The 
number of acres ceded Is 6,022,754, and the price to 
he paid Is $8,595,736. Of this $295,706 is to be paid In 
caBh, and the balance in live equal Installments, 
bearing four per cent Interest. The President will

Wheat sold In Chicago, May 29, at 68)4 cents, which 
lSj with one exception, the lowest price In 30 years. 
The single exception was In 1887, during the reaction 
from the inflation caused by the running of a corner 
by Harper, the Cincinnati bank manager. The great 
receipts, with little outlet for the wheat, the tine 
weather, weaker cables, flnanclal tightness and the 
heavy load of wheat carried there, all acted as de¬ 
pressing Influences.

Rutter prices have declined still further, but much 
lower price* In the Immediate future are Improb¬ 
able. At the lower figures, trade has been more 
brisk, retailers purchasing much more freely. Re¬ 
ceipts are well sold up, and it seems likely that 
sales will continue good. For certain reasons Inci¬ 
dent to the close money market, less butter will be 
put Into cold storage than usual, and this will 
throw more of the receipts on the market. 
BEST LINE 
CHICAGO AND ST LOUIS 
In Its weekly review of the British grain trade the 
Mark Lane Express says that English wheat averages 
27 shillings a quarter In the country, and 27 shillings 
Hve pence in London. The sales at 196 market towns 
amounted, the past week, to 61,789 quarters. It is 
believed that the farmers are selling too freely, and 
would do well to hold their grain until July. Foreign 
wheat has receded six pence since Whitsuntide. 
The arrivals of wheat include 105,000 quarters of 
Californian, 50,000 quarters of Australian and 10,000 
of Argentine.
