product. 
Recent arrivals of Danish cabbag'e have been 
very fine. 
Wheat, dome.stic and foreign, is higher in the 
English market. 
Virginia peanuts are said to be e.xceptionally 
fine this year. 
Many potatoes have been so badly frozen as to 
be nearly unsalable. 
Southern produce has, in many ca.ses, been 
badly injured by frost. 
A holiday always increases the demand for 
fancy fresh table fruit. 
Chestnuts from cold storage h.ave been selling 
for $2.25 to $3 per bushel. 
The thermometer has been reported down to 29 
degrees at Pens.acola, Fla. 
The foot and mouth di.sease has broken o\xt 
among some Engll.sh cattle. 
Prices for American apples in the British mar¬ 
kets have been slightly lower. 
Some beeves have .arrived hog-dressed, the same 
as calves, but do not sell well. 
The average yield of buckwheat this ye.ar, is 
16.1 bushels; la.st year, 14.7 bushels. 
Receipts of potatoes have been heavy, dem.and 
light, and prices consequently we.aker. 
The average yield of tobacco is ne.arly double 
that of la.st year, and the av'erage quality good. 
The average yield of h.ay this year is 1.15 ton for 
the whole country, against 1.32 last year. The 
quality is high. 
Many bob veals have recently been seized by the 
Bo.ard of Health of this city. More of this stock 
has arrived than is usual at this season. 
The Government report m.akes the average yield 
of potatoes 62.3 bushels; la.st year the yield was 
72.2, and in 1892, 62 bushels. The quality is f.air. 
C.anadian shippers to the English market should 
be sure to have the packages branded, Can.adian 
Produce, to save trouble with the customs author¬ 
ities. 
A convention of shippers and receivers of hay 
will be held at Cleveland, O., January 21, next. 
The uppermost topic will be the uniform .system 
of grading hay. 
A disease called .antrlx is reported to be preva¬ 
lent among c.attle around Mediterranean ports. 
Several people have died from eating meat from 
the affected cattle. 
The last crop report, gives the average yield of 
corn as 19.7 bu.shels per acre, .slightly higher th.an 
the October report. This is the lowest since 1881. 
L.ast year’s yield was 22.5 bushels. 
La.st year, from the commencement of the sea¬ 
son to November 9, 10,914 barrels of American 
apples were received at Liverpool. To the same 
date this year, 312,935 barrels wei’e received. 
The third and foxirth auction sales of California 
wine in this city were more largely attended than 
the previous ones, and two car-loads were di.s- 
posed of at each sale at satisfactory prices. 
Last week’s arrivals of live stock at Chicago 
aggregated 444,000head, and included 78,381 cattle, 
271,046 hogs and 94,.502 sheep. This is the heaviest 
week’s business on record. The number of car¬ 
loads was 8,439. 
It is said that buyers of turkey feathers carried 
over an immense amount of stock from last sea¬ 
son, so that prices this year are likely to be low. 
Quotations at pre.sent are 15 cents for finest tail, 
10 cents for finest wing, 12 cents for mixed tail 
and wing, and others practically unsalable. 
Shipments of American aijples to Great Britain 
for the week ending November 17, were, to Liver¬ 
pool, 47,600; to Glasgow, 23,900; to London, 29,300 
barrels; total, 100,800 barrels; corresponding week 
of 1892, 64,600 barrels. The demand is active for 
good fruit arriving in sound condition, but much 
poor stuff has been sent that will not sell for 
enough to pay expenses.

^ Bowker’s Animal Meal ^ 
^ Makes Hens Lay 3 
Because it furnishes the food elements that eggs —S 
are made of in such a form that the production 
* of eggs will not be made at the expense of the * 
hen’s vitality; and this is 
Because it also furnishes strength and health-sus- 
taining food for the hen herself. 
^ Animal iVlEAL is a dean, sweet, and wholesome com- m 
bination of thoroughly cooked meat and bone, ^ 
^ dried and finely ground, easily and quickly di- 
gested. It is ^ 
S Cheaper Lhan Scraps, that is, more economical, be- ^ 
^ cause it is more concentrated; it contains more S 
real food to the pound by at least twenty-five ^ 
per cent. It is —^ 
Superior to Scraps, because it is cleaner, more ^ 
iS finely ground, contains more bone., and is practi- ^ 
cally dry material. Scraps contain a large 
amount of water; and, indeed, some so-called 
poultry foods are nothing but finely ground 
scraps. It is not economy to buy water for 1^5 
^ • meat. Bowker’s Animal Meal takes the place of m 
scraps because it furnishes meat; it takes the 
place of bone because it contains bone ; it takes 
the place of oyster shells because it furnishes 
It makes hens lay; 
makes chickens grow. ^9
