CROP AND MARKET NOTES. 
Receipts of dressed calves are much larger. 
The fur trade is weak, and prices favor buyers. 
Dressed pork is in liberal supply and the mar¬ 
ket dull. 
Onions are held steadily if choice, but there is 
much poor stock. 
Jamaica oranges have been scarce and com¬ 
manded good prices. 
Brussels sprouts are in large supply and sell¬ 
ing for lower prices than usual. 
Refrigerator eggs are reported to average bet¬ 
ter this fall than usual heretofore. 
The liberal supply of poultry at Thanksgiving 
time, makes trade dull in other meats. 
Reports from Liverpool say that the apple 
market is unchanged, but rather a little stronger. 
Pure beeswax is in small supply and is held 
very firmly at 30 to 31 cents per pound for choice. 
The hop market is very dull, and the condition 
of the market is about the same as for some time 
past. 
Receipts of potatoes are smaller, but there is a 
liberal supply, and the market shows little 
change. 
During the month of October, there passed 
through the port of Island Pond, Vt., 5,132 tons of 
Canadian hay, or nearly 600 car-loads. 
At the close of business last week, it was esti¬ 
mated that there were in cold storage in Boston, 
about 92,000 tubs of butter, .and in Chicago, about 
50,000 packages. 
Watertown, N. Y., has been having another 
epidemic of typhoid fever, the origin of which 
had been traced to a milk dealer who had the 
disease in his family. 
The honey crop is short, both in this country 
and in Europe. Late rains started the White 
clover, so that the bees filled the hives well, and 
little feeding will be necessary. 
An unexpected slump in the egg market has 
made the trade in that commodity very dull. 
Receipts just before the Thanksgiving holiday 
seemed to be considerably heavier, and the de 
mand didn’t keep pace with the increased supply. 
Holders have managed to keep prices up to about 
the original quotations. 
For seven weeks, the price of Elgin and other 
choice creamery butter in New York, never varied 
from 23 cents. It has now advanced one-half 
cent, and the market is very steady. The oldest 
marketman will have to rack his memory very 
severely to recall another such a long range of 
unchanged prices. A little higher prices are an¬ 
ticipated, as there seems to be quite a scarcity of 
the best grades. 
The Utica Herald says about the cheese situa¬ 
tion : “As the matter now stands, dealers feel 
that prices are on a safe basis, and that after the 
holidays there is likely to be a slow but steady 
advance which will bring cheese to a good price 
for the opening of the market next spring. That 
is where the dairyman will receive his benefit 
from the early closing of factories this fall.” 
Yes, and if they’ll all make honest cheese, they’ll 
derive still more benefit. 
Some people do very nice work all through a 
job, and then spoil it by a mistake at one point. 
One of the finest fattened and dressed lot of tur¬ 
keys we ever saw, came into one of our markets 
the Saturday before Thanksgiving. They were 
of the choicest, and the method of packing was 
perfect. The heads, even, were wrapped in tissue 
paper, such care had been taken in every detail. 
Yet they were sent so as to arrive on Saturday, 
the poorest market day of the whole week, and 
one on which lower prices are usually realized. 
Too bad to come so near perfection, and then fail 
in one point. 
Reports from London say that a new series of 
wool sales opened there on November 26. There 
were offered 7,051 bales, including a lot of new 
clip. The attendance was very large. The offer¬ 
ing’s were freely competed for, and most of them 
were sold, despite the fact that the selection as a 
whole was of an indifferent character. The best 
grade of Merinos were occasionally sold at the 
rates which ruled at the last sales. A fair selec¬ 
tion of Cape of Good Hope and Natals sold fairly, 
at 5 to 7*4 per cent reduction. The result of the sale 
was fairly satisfactory, as a decline of 10 per 
cent was generally considered probable. A hope¬ 
ful feeling prevails. 
State Secretary of Agriculture Edge, of Penn¬ 
sylvania, is at loggerheads with the United States 
Revenue Collector. A short time ago, revenue 
officers found 150 tubs of oleomargarine in the 
cellar of a house adjoining a creamery in that 
State ; on the ground that they did not bear the 
necessary Government stamps, brands, etc., re¬ 
quired by law, they were confiscated. The proprie¬ 
tor of the creamery was arrested and is now under 
bail. In accordance with the United States law, 
the oleomargarine is advertised for sale, but Sec¬ 
retary Edge says that such sale is illegal, and 
that the collector will be prosecuted if he sell it. 
The United States and State laws seem to clash,

and what the outcome will be is uncertain. In 
either case, the oleo seems to be left in rather an 
uncertain position. 
The Thanksgiving poultry market was not so 
badly glutted this year as it is sometimes. Re¬ 
sponsible dealers had for a long time been cau¬ 
tioning shippers not to send poor stock, and 
warning them that there was likely to be a big 
supply here. The consequence was that the poul¬ 
try was either kept at home or sent to other mar¬ 
kets, and only a fair amount reached here. There 
was plenty for all demands, and prices were fair 
—nothigh. The weather was unfavorable early 
in the week, and some came in bad condition ; but 
there was not the loss and disappointment of 
some former years. Corn was cheap, and from 
the appearance of most of the poultry received, 
had been fed with a liberal hand. Still, some car¬ 
casses were received that would have been bene¬ 
fited by a little longer and more liberal feeding. 
The following are the number of barrels of 
apples exported from the various American ports 
to the different European markets for the week 
ending November 25, together with the grand
