CROP AND MARKET NOTES. 
Bean prices are a little lower. 
Receipts of eggs are diminishing. 
Butter is dull and slightly lower on some grades. 
The stock of old onions is reported quite large. 
Green peas from New Orleans have been in 
market. 
Blackberry vines are reported badly killed in 
many localities. 
Exports of apples last week were 602 barrels to 
Liverpool, and 66 to Glasgow. 
The first weekly crop bulletin of the season for 
New York, was issued last week. 
Considerable quantities of foreign potatoes and 
onions are reported on their way here. 
A brand new insect pest is reported to be 
threatening the Georgia watermelon crop. 
A canning factory is to be established at Hono¬ 
lulu, the only one on the Sandwich Islands. 
New potatoes are arriving from Florida a 
month later than the first arrivals last year. 
New York is losing its grain trade, through 
discrimination by the railroads, it is claimed. 
Rye flour is higher than wheat flour in the St. 
Louis market, it is said on account of being cor¬ 
nered. 
Now English agriculturists are claiming that 
70 per cent of the American sheep imported, are 
diseased. 
The first Jersey asparagus came in Tuesday, 
and the first from Delaware and Maryland one 
day later. 
It is reported that a considerable quantity of 
evaporated corn will be packed in Maine the com¬ 
ing season. 
Maple sugar is scarce at 8 to 8 % cents for new, 
and 0y t to 7 cents for old. Syrup is 65 to 85 cents 
per gallon. 
The market is overstocked with kale and spin¬ 
ach, the receipts of a single day being about 
10,000 barrels. 
So far this year, the peach crop hasn’t failed to 
any extent, and prospects are good for a big yield 
in all producing regions. 
Last week, more than 200 bob calves were seized 
by the Board of Health. Probably still more than 
that number should have been seized. 
Through a decision of the Inter-State Commis¬ 
sion, California orange growers expect a reduc¬ 
tion of orange rates to the East of at least one- 
third. 
An Oregon syndicate has purchased 5,000 horses 
at a cost of about $5 per head, to be slaughtered, 
the meat packed, and every part of the carcass to 
be utilized. 
Dressed calves weighing from 80 to 120 pounds 
each are most desirable. A solid fleshed calf 
sells better than a flabby one, and all should be 
neatly dressed and packed. 
Imports of nutmegs into this country during the 
eight months ending with February, amounted to 
1,108,420 pounds, against 647,749 pounds in the cor¬ 
responding period last year. 
Florida potatoes should be shipped in barrels 
only. The culls should be kept at home, because 
they will not bring enough to pay transportation 
as soon as stock becomes a little more plenty. 
Commission receivers are advising their ship¬ 
pers in Virginia to ice shipments of radishes and 
spinach, as much of the stock not iced is coming 
in in very poor condition. This is particularly 
the case with radishes. 
Estimates by the freight agents of the Florida 
railroads place the value of this spring’s vege¬ 
table crop at twice that of last year, or $ 2 , 000 , 000 . 
The cabbage crop was almost a failure, and as 
this is a bulky crop, the total bulk will be less. 
This does not include watermelons, the yield of 
which is estimated at 10 times that of last year. 
The estimated watermelon acreage is about 11,000 
acres, or from 5,000 to 8,000 car-loads. These will 
reach the market from two to three weeks ahead 
of the Georgia crop. Florida truckers stand a 
good chance to retrieve some of the losses by last 
winter’s freeze. 
The Statistician of the Department of Agricul¬ 
ture reports that during the 10 years ending June 
30, 1894, there were imported into this country 
29,495,417 bushels of potatoes, with an aggregate 
value of $15,155,431, or an average of 44.6 cents per 
bushel. The net excess of imports over exports 
for the same period was 24,347,405 bushels, with a 
value of $9,296,345. During the year 1888, this 
country raised the largest crop but one during 
the period above mentioned, the crop being 202 ,- 
365,000 bushels. During the same year we im¬ 
ported eight and a quarter million bushels of 
potatoes. That we should go abroad to buy pota- 
oes or any other farm product, is a matter of 
surprise to the Agricultural Department, but sta¬ 
tistics show that during the 10 years just passed 
almost ten millions of our gold has gone abroad 
o pay for this tuber. Among the countries to 
which we export potatoes, Cuba is the most 
prominent; the British West Indies and North 
American provinces, with Mexico, Central Amer¬ 
ica, the United States of Colombia, Venezuela, 
he Hawaiian Islands and Hong Kong being also 
among our larger customers for this product. 
The principal countries from which we obtain our 
imports of the same vegetable, are the United 
Kingdom, particularly Scotland, and the British 
North American provinces; Germany, Belgium 
and the Netherlands sometimes contribute con¬ 
siderable quantities, while Bermuda and some of 
the islands of the West Indies supply us with a 
part of our early potatoes.
