CROP AND MARKET NOTES. 
The grape market is stronger. 
On Monday, 19 car-loads of live poultry were 
received. 
Cauliflower in heavy supply, but some of it 
badly frosted. 
Tangerines and mandarins are again in mar¬ 
ket from Florida. 
Demand has been good for White Kidney beans, 
with little new stock in market. 
The first shipment of potatoes from Dundee 
came in this week—1,043 sacks. 
Southern vegetables have been in liberal supply 
and high prices were realized for good stock. 
Michigan has sent some fine potatoes which 
sold for higher prices than the New York stock. 
Some of the sugar planters are still fighting for 
the sugar bounty—with a poor prospect for suc¬ 
cess, however.

The receipts of dressed poultry for last week, 
were close to 26,000 packages, the largest ever 
known for any other than a holiday week. 
As many as 40,000 barrels of American apples 
have been offered for sale in the Liverpool mar¬ 
ket in one day. The leading variety was Bald¬ 
wins, mostly from New England. 
Since September 1, exports of potatoes to the 
West Indies were about 50,000 barrels, half those 
of last year. They are being shipped direct from 
Prince Edward’s Island and Nova Scotia. 
The auction system has been extended to the 
sale of foreign lumber in this city. At the first 
sale, recently held, about $.60,000 worth of mahog¬ 
any, cedar and satinwood were sold at prices com¬ 
paring favorably with those received at private 
sale. 
The Canadian Minister of Agriculture has or¬ 
dered that.all cattle entering any of the quaran¬ 
tine stations, shall be subjected to the tuberculin 
test. One valuable bull was found to be affected 
with tuberculosis, and the owner was given the 
alternative of having him slaughtered without 
compensation, or returning to the United States, 
whence he came.

A NICKEL-PLATED ROAD. 
“ Are the rails and engines all nickel- 
plated ? ” is asked, time and time again, 
by parties who are contemplating a trip 
West, over this, now famous and popular, 
route. If not, where did it get its name 
of Nickel Plate ? That is the question ! 
Where did it get its name ? It has justly 
earned its great popularity by reason of 
its smooth road-bed, elegant equipment, 
superb dining cars, fast time, and, above 
all, by its giving to the public the lowest 
rates of any first-class line, between the 
East and West. Popular low-i‘ate ex¬ 
cursions are of frequent occurrence, and 
every attention is shown its patrons for 
their comfort and pleasure. Through 
palace and sleeping cars are run between 
Poston, New York and Chicago, over the 
Fitchburg, West Shore and Nic el Plate 
roads. All information as to law rates, 
through sleeping cars, etc., may be ob¬ 
tained of your nearest ticket agent, or 
by addressing F. J. Moore, General 
Agent, Nickel Plate Road, 33 Exchange 
Street, Buffalo, N. Y.— Adv. 
Some of the up-river apples shipped to Europe 
are said to have netted the shijjpers not more 
than 26 to .60 cents per barrel. Some of the pooi’- 
est apples in this? market come from that region. 
The company which furnishes the patent c.ars 
for shipping live poultry, furnishes coops at the 
termini in which the poultry is transferred to 
the markets for sale. Recent heavy receipts have 
so depleted the supply of coops that cars could not 
be unloaded promptly on arrival, and some stock 
was kept off the market for a day or two on that 
account. 
WE WANT TO KNOW, YOU KNOW! 
IP YOU DON’T 8KE WHAT YOU WANT, ASK FOR IT ! 
Bugs in the Beans.- Why do my beans get little 
black bugs in them ? They e.-it the beans full of 
holes, and spoil them for cooking, and also for 
planting. How do the seedsmen keep them from 
getting full of them ? p. h. b. 
New York City. 
Ans.—T hese “bugs” are probably Bean weevils. 
If the beans are placed in an .air-tight vessel, and 
a little bisulphide of carbon, benzine or gasoline 
be added, the weevils will be destroyed. No fire or 
light must be brought near these substances. The 
beans will not be injured for .seed or t.able use. 
Another method is to he.at the beans to a tempera¬ 
ture of 146 degrees F. as soon as ripe. 
Selling Sugar Beets.— 1. How can I seil 25 or .30 
bushels of sug.ar beets ? I have written to a com¬ 
mission merchant, and he writes, “No market.” 
It seems strange to me when your correspondents 
write of selling them for .60 cents. What is your 
view of the matter ? 2. Is Rosendale cement 
hydraulic? c. il. o. 
Connecticut. 
Ans.— 1. The only way of which we know is to 
hustie around among the people in your vicinity 
and find some one who wishes to buy them. There 
is no demand for them in this market. The cor¬ 
respondent who wrote of selling beets for .60 cents 
per bushel, was L. B. Pierce; he wrote blood 
beets, iind said nothing about sugar beets. The 
latter are excellent for feeding cattle. Near the 
beet-sugar factories of the West, the farmers get 
•about ,$5 per ton for them. 2. It is called so, but 
is said by masons not to be, unless the water is 
perfectly still. The le.ast motion of the water will 
disintegrate it. The Portland cement is much 
superior.
