CROP AND MARKET NOTES. 
The cranberry crop Is light In New England. 
The Canada apple crop Is larger than last year. 
Evaporated apples are quite plenty and sell slowly 
Prime clover honey Is In fair demand. Buckwheat 
Is scarce. 
The Kansas and Nebraska apple crop Is short but 
of good qnallty. 
There is a good demand for pure beeswax at 26 
cents per pound. 
The hop harvest Is over; many were left unpicked, 
having molded on the vines. 
High winds have blown many apples from the 
trees and damaged the crops. 
A little advance In prices for fancy creamery but¬ 
ter. Other grades are rather dull. 
Chestnuts have dropped to $7 per bushel, but there 
Is a good demand for them at that price. 
There Is very little demand lor qnlnces, but with 
their hardy keeping quality there Is no loss waiting 
for better prices. 
The cotton crop has been somewhat Injured by 
rains causing rust and shedding. Damage by boll 
worms Is also complained of. 
Green peas, fall crop, have commenced to arrive 
from Norfolk, Va.. and sell very well, as nearby and 
western New York are out of market. 
Canned tomatoes have been selling at the lowest 
prices they have ever touched In the history of the 
business for the same quality of goods. 
Peaches are becoming scarce, and fine to fancy 
frnlt sells very well. There has been a good deal of 
ordinary fruit for which trade has been dull. 
The records of the Fond du Lac Dairy Board show 
that the blRhest average price for cheese in the six 
years 1889-94 was paid during the seasob of 1894. 
Virginia and North Carolina report a large crop of 
chestnuts this season, while reports from New York 
Indicate a very small crop both of chestnuts and 
blckorynats. 
The cotton seed mill owners of Texas say they lost 
II (XX),000 last year by paying too much for seed, and 
are now combining to hammer the market down to 16 
or 17 per ton. 
In seoiiODs where the potato crop Is short, the com¬ 
plaint Is of small and inferior tubers, not a total fail¬ 
ure of crops. Where the vines are healthy, the crop 
Is still Improving. 
The heavy winds have done great damage to the 
grape crop in New York. Where the grapes were in¬ 
clined to shell they have been torn from the vines 
in great numbers. 
The September rains have helped the Eastern 
apple crop as well as many other cropj. If freezing 
weather holds otf long enough, the crop will be In¬ 
creased and the quality much Improved. 
A statement of stocks of dried fruits In London on 
August 31, gives a total of only 320 packages evap .r- 
ated apples, against 450 packages at the correspond¬ 
ing date last year, and 1,100 packages in 1892. 
The first general frost of the season in New York 
State came September 25, and all the tender vegeta¬ 
tion was killed. Tne frost was very heavy, and was 
visible up to a late hoar In the morning. 
The American, Canadian and European bean crops 
are short this year. The first on account of the long 
drought, the second from late planting and early 
frost, and the third was blighted by prolonged and 
unseasonable rain. 
Late potatoes are making a better crop than was 
expected. Relative to the population the potato 
crop this year Is the smallest on record. The total 
product Is estimated now at 165.000,000 bushels; 20.- 
000,000 less than last year’s crop, which was consid¬ 
ered a very short one. 
IIBNDKRSON CoiTNTY, Ii.L.—We have experienced 
the driest season that I ever saw. Pastures are so 
short that many farmers are compelled to feed their 
stock or drive to the Mississippi bottoms to get pas¬ 
turage for their cattle. Corn will bo a fair crop. 
Wheat was a good crop-rather better than usual, 
excepting a piece now and then that was hart by 
Chinch bugs. The oat crop has proved one of the 
best that wo have had for years as to yield. Not 
much cattle feeding at present, and not a great many 
hogs In the country to go to market this fall. Have 
had fine showers In the last week—nearly every day 
having one. The pastures are starting up In fine 
shape. We have the best crop of apples we have 
had for years. The berry cr.ip was cut short by dry 
weather. A good crop of grapes. Light crop of pota¬ 
toes In coDseqnence of drought. A good deal of 
wheat Is being fed owing to Its being cheap, or lower 
than corn In price, and It seems to make a be:ter 
feed for growth than corn. j. k. M.
