Best butter brings better prices. 
Choice fruits are in good demand. 
The market for essential oils is dull. 
41’he egg market is weak and sales slow. 
Calves are in large supply and prices lower. 
Pork is not in large supply, and the market is 
firm. 
Raisin prices are considerably lower than last 
year. 
Cold weather about put an end to duck hunting 
in Maryland. 
Choice, unfrozen spinach has sold for as high as 
$5 per barrel. 
Much of the Southern produce received here has 
been badly frozen. 
Many apples and onions are reported in storage 
in western New York. 
Receipts of onions last year were about 16 per 
cent larger than in 1893. 
Cauliflower is mostly inferior and damaged, but 
choice brings high prices. 
Receipts of cranberries were but little more than 
half as large as last year. 
About one-third more apples were received here 
last year than during the preceding year. 
The exports of apples from this port last year 
were 228,111 barrels; the preceding year, 67,046 
barrels. 
The first fresh asparagus of the season came in 
about Christmas from California and sold for ex¬ 
treme prices. 
Arrivals of butter were but little larger last 
year than in 1893, probably about five per cent, 
and arrivals of cheese showed a still smaller in¬ 
crease. 
The State Horticultural Association of Pennsyl¬ 
vania will hold its 36th annual meeting in Read¬

Exhibits of fruits and flowers are solicited. Re¬ 
duced hotel and railroad rates. An interesting 
programme has been prepared. E. B. Engle, sec¬ 
retary. Waynesboro. 
The recent cold snap extended pretty much all 
over the country, and Southern vegetables and 
fruits are badly frozen. Reports indicate dis¬ 
astrous results in the Florida orange groves, 
though the real damage is hard to ascertain. Still 
dealers seem to consider that much injury has 
been done, and prices have sharply advanced. It 
is to be hoped that the damage has been over¬ 
estimated.

The plants may be placed in a closely covered 
box for this purpose. 
Price List op Furs.—W ill The R. N.-Y. send me 
a price list of furs in good condition ? E. 8. 
Ans.—The R. N.-Y. sends one nearly every week. 
It will be found under the market reports on this 
page. These prices are for first-class goods; poor 
ones will go for lower prices. 
Cranberries and Apples.— 1. I have an alder 
flat, black muck, and wish to turn it into a cran¬ 
berry bog. I can flow from one to two or four 
feet of water on it at any season. How many 
plants are needed per acre ? What is the proper 
distance between the plants ? What is the best 
time to plant ? 2. I am in the fruit business, but 
made a little mistake in planting my apple trees. 
I set them 18 feet apart each way in the spring of 
1893. The trees were four years old. Can I remove 
every second tree and have them 36 feet ? Will 
these that I lift be as good, or will they amount to 
anything ? They are nice, thrifty stock. Or would 
it be better to let them grow until the tops come 
together and cut every second one out ? j. n. c. 
Nova Scotia. 
Ans. —1. The plants are usually set 8 or 10 inches 
apart, so that several thousand are required per 
acre. The best time is whenever the planter is 
ready, except in winter. The R. N.-Y. will have 
considerable about cranberries soon. 2. We 
would remove carefully, as early in spring as 
possible, every alternate tree.
