CROP AND MARKET NOTES. 
Coffee planting is being extensively engaged in 
in Australia. 
There are about 2,000 named varieties of dahlias 
known in Europe. 
Washington potato growers are shipping their 
product to California. 
Mary car-loads of Orange County onions have 
been rushed in recently. 
Live pigeons have arrived very freely of late, 
but sales have been good. 
The culture of the Cork oak is recommended as 
a promising industry for California. 
There is little sale as yet for Southern kale and 
spinach, as local is plenty and cheap. 
Cucumbers and lettuce from the Boston hot¬ 
houses are finding a good sale in this market. 
The Burbank is said by the Prairie Farmer to 
be the best potato to raise for the Chicago market. 
Cold weather in central and northern New 
York, has already interfered with potato ship- 
ping. 
The United States Department of Agriculture is 
still after the alleged combination of Chicago beef 
packers. 
The market is full of eggs, but some of them 
are of uncertain age and condition, and do not 
sell very rapidly. 
The Southern California Fruit Exchange has 
been incorporated with a capital stock of $10,000 
divided into 100 shares. 
It is estimated that 4,049,296,000 pounds of 
sugar were consumed in the United States in 1894, 
nearly 58 pounds per capita. 
The 29th annual meeting of the National Grange 
will commence at Worcester, Mass., November 
18, and continue for a week or more. 
Large sales of American apples were made in 
London and Liverpool last week at about the 
same prices quoted in these columns last week. 
The West has been purchasing cranberries 
largely, and stocks have been so much reduced 
that the market is stronger at advanced prices. 
Small lots of radishes have arrived from Vir¬ 
ginia, but they have been mostly so poor that but 
this year was so large that the quantity now held 
in the interior is unusually heavy for this season 
of the year. Prices have ruled so low at some 
producing sections that growers have fed many 
potatoes to hogs and other farm animals, and in 
some sections it has not paid to dig them. This 
is especially the case in many of the Western 
States. 
Small country-dressed pigs, weighing from 10 
to 25 pounds each, are used extensively for roast¬ 
ing, and they have found a very good demand at 
from 8 to 12 cents per pound until last week, when 
the arrivals commenced to accumulate, and 
prices were reduced fully two cents per pound, 
without increasing the demand materially. Late 
sales have been mainly at eight and nine cents 
per pound. 
The weather frequently plays havoc with the 
markets. Last week, a heavy fog almost stopped 
traffic in the harbor, and there was great delay in 
delivering produce coming into the city. For a 
whole day, not a single vessel entered the harbor, 
and the Southern steamers, that bring large quan¬ 
tities of vegetables, were delayed with the rest. 
The result was that much of the produce was re¬ 
ceived in bad order, and great loss resulted. 
Such contingencies can never be foreseen, but 
are always likely to occur, and cannot be guarded 
against. 
A Norfolk, Va., firm, after investigating the 
peanut crop, says that it is about 65 per cent of an 
average. The quality is said to vary in different 
localities, being poor in many cases. The crop of 
North Carolina is better than that in Virginia, the 
yield and percentage of good quality showing 
some advantage. The information from Tennes¬ 
see is to the effect that the condition of the crop 
is good, and that it is prettier than for years, but 
will turn out to be only 50 per cent of an average. 
The demand for bags there is less by half than it 
was last year. This is a good test as to the out¬ 
put of the fall crop. Supplies of old goods in the 
hands of dealers are less than for a long while.

25 to 50 cents per half-barrel basket was realized. 
About 1,000 tons of dried raspberries are pro¬ 
duced in Wayne County, N. Y., annually. This 
and adjacent counties lead the world in this 
industry. 
Small white pickling onions usually sell for 
high prices during the fall, but the season is 
about over, and they now sell slowly at much 
lower prices. 
Southern vegetables are arriving quite freely, 
and when of good quality, sell for good prices, 
considering the abundant supply of all kinds of 
vegetables from nearby points. 
A baboon which had just been brought in on a 
vessel was seized by the customs authorities last 
week for undervaluation. The native baboon in¬ 
dustry must be protected at all hazards. 
For the crop year, September, 1894, to August, 
1895, inclusive, the flour output at the Minneapo¬ 
lis mills is given at 9,468,225 barrels, as compared 
with 9,320,630 barrels for the previous year. 
A sale of a lot of 1,000 barrels of State potatoes 
was reported last week at 75 cents per barrel. 
Yet the poor man who buys his potatoes by the 
quart at the corner grocery, is paying just as 
much as ever ! 
The Department of Agriculture reports that 
the very light rainfall of September and October 
has been very unfavorable for fall plowing and 
seeding. This weather has, however, been ex¬ 
tremely favorable for harvesting crops. 
The apple crop this year seems to be pretty 
well distributed, no State showing much of a de¬ 
ficiency, though some have considerable of a sur¬ 
plus. As usual, in this market, choice, well-as¬ 
sorted and rightly packed fruit sells for good 
prices—$3 and over per barrel. 
New California Lima beans have commenced 
to arrive, and have sold at rather extreme prices, 
though stock is freely offered to arrive at $1.90 to 
$2, and further reduction might be made on later 
arrivals. The old stock still on hand is urged for 
sale at very low and irregular figures. 
The Consul-General of Italy says that hereafter 
no cargo of corn will be admitted into Italy from 
foreign ports unless it be accompanied by a Con¬ 
sular certificate that it was at the time of loading 
in perfect state of preservation. The shippers 
must, consequently, notify the Consul’s office in 
time so that he may have it inspected before it is 
put on board the ship. 
There has been a slight falling off in the receipts 
of potatoes during the past week, and some deal¬ 
ers are inclined to take a more hopeful view of 
the situation. Prices have fallen so low that the 
consumptive demand is large, and any material 
decrease in the receipts would allow the accumu- 
ation to be reduced rapidly. On the other hand, 
however, we hear of sections which have not com¬ 
menced to ship as yet, having held the stock in 
hopes of a more fa.vorable market, and the crop
