CROP AND MARKET NOTES. 
The cranberry market is weak. 
There is little sale for black walnuts. 
Turkeys promise a large crop this year.

California freight rates are to be reduced. 
Hickorynuts are scarce and the price high. 
The prune crop of Prance is short this year. 
Potatoes are reported to be a light crop in Ore¬ 
gon. 
Hop prices continue low, and little selling is 
done.

mand.

steady. 
Australian lemons are now sold in the London 
market. 
Apples are reported a heavy crop in eastern 
Kansas. 
A sale of Oregon apples to Australian buyers is 
reported. 
A few chilly-looking peaches are yet to be found 
in market. 
Evaporated apples are in good, fair demand at 
full prices. 
Live pigeons are more in demand and prices 
are higher. 
Many bob calves are being seized by the City 
Health Board. 
The coffee crop of Brazil is reported less than 
an average one. 
Beeswax is in light supply and held at 27 Vi to 28 
cents per pound. 
Valencia oranges are expected in this market 
in about a month. 
Good chestnuts are not overplentiful, and prices 
are generally good. 
Supplies of Southern string beans and green 
peas are increasing. 
Receipts of Almeria grapes are only about one- 
fiftlV those of last year. 
It is said that Winter Bartlett pears will soon 
be in market in Oregon. 
Tuberculosis is reported to be quite prevalent 
•among California cattle. 
Nebraska is reported to be growing less wheat 
and more diversified crops. 
Kansas has 125,000 acres of Alfalfa, a large in¬ 
crease over previous years. 
The cost of packing California oranges is given 
as from 26 to 29 cents per box. 
A shortage of 15 per cent in the Argentine crops 
of wheat and corn is reported. 
Most game birds are in good demand, and if of 
good quality, sell for good prices. 
The market is glutted with squashes and pump¬ 
kins, and prices are extremely low. 
A Sacramento, Cal., paper reports two Winter 
Pound pears weighing 2*4 pounds each. 
And now a syndicate has cornered the camphor 
market, and the price has been increased. 
Fresh pork tenderloins are again in market— 
another reminder of approaching cold weather. 
Butter is a little steadier, and the demand 
stronger, though there is little advance in prices. 
The Italian prune crop of Oregon and Washing¬ 
ton is estimated at 5,400,000 pounds of dried fruit. 
The sugar crop of the Sandwich Islands is re¬ 
ported to exceed that of last year by about 20 per 
cent. 
Receipts of live fioultry are large, poor stock 
sells very low, and only the best stock sells for 
anything like living prices. 
Shipments of American apples to Great Britain 
to October 12, were 128,000 barrels ; to same date 
last season, 388,000 barrels. 
The Cuban troubles, leading to difficulties in 
the Havana custom house, have nearly destroyed 
the demand for Red Kidney beans. 
The quality of the grapes of southern Califor¬ 
nia is said rever to have been better, though the 
quantity is less than in previous years. 
The pineapple crop of Florida is said to prom¬ 
ise finely, notwithstanding last winter’s frosts. 
Prospects are good for twice the usual crop. 
The quarantine against Mexican and Texas 
cattle ended October 22, and it is expected that 
large numbers will move northward at once. 
Receipts of sweet potatoes last week were 15,753 
barrels. The market has weakened somewhat, 
but the price has kept up remarkably consider¬ 
ing the large arrivals.

The cheese market is firm, and late receipts 
have been light. Prices have made a slight ad¬ 
vance, and some sales have been made at prices 
slightly above quotations. 
There is now a good demand for highly colored 
apples in the British markets. They must be of 
the best quality and well packed. Choice New¬ 
town Pippins have sold extremely high, and the 
demand for them is strong. 
The next annual show of the Pittsburgh, Pa., 
Poultry, Pigeon and Pet Stock Association, will 
be held January 14 to 18, 1896. This association 
has made application for a charter. A. P. Rob¬ 
inson, secretary, Pittsburgh, Pa. 
Nearly as many potatoes arrived in this mar¬ 
ket last week as during the whole, month of Sep¬ 
tember. Prices have been low, and with such 
heavy arrivals, little immediate improvement 
may be expected. In Europe, the crop is fully 
up to the average, and farmers seem to have 
been as anxious to market as those here. In 
England, the market is reported glutted, and 
prices are low. Not many potatoes are likely to 
be imported to this country this year. 
Reports of the first two weeks’ work of the 
Grand Island beet-sugar factory have been filed 
with the Secretary of State of Nebraska. The 
product was 400,000 pounds of sugar, worth about 
$20,000 at wholesale, the State bounty on which is 
about $1,500. This amount required about 3,600 
tons of beets, and as the farmers receive $5 per 
ton for these, their share will be about $18,000. 
The product of the Norfolk factory is only a little 
less, and the two factories together are distribut¬ 
ing about $1,500 per day among the farmers. As 
the manufacturing season lasts about three 
months, the season’s output, at this rate, would 
be very nearly 500,000 pounds, and the money re¬ 
ceived by the farmers will amount to quite a sum.
