To  Sell  Farm  Food  Products 
During  the  last  week  the  apple  market  ruled  firm.  Dealers 
are  evidently  holding  back  cold  storage  apples  in  the  hope  of 
better  prices  later.  From  the  January  first  report,  however,  the 
supply  is  greater  than  a  year  ago;  and  -every  day  that  passes 
without  using  up  its  quota  of  apples,  leaves  so  much  more  to 
add  to  the  daily  consumption  later  on.  We  still  incline  to 
former  advice  to  growers  with  apples  in  cold  storage  to  make 
steady  shipment  from  now  on,  and  take  averages.  Where  grow¬ 
ers  are  in  a  position  to  pool  shipments  this  method  is  ideal. 
Eggs  are  in  good  demand,  and  nearby  supply  increasing. 
Receipts  to  the  Department  are  increasing,  and  we  hope  to  de¬ 
velop  an  egg  trade  that  will  be  of  service  to  the  producer. 
Producers  understand  that  eggs  and  dressed  pork,  veal, 
lambs,  and  poultry,  arc  not  sold  at  auction  because  the  volume 
is  not  large  enough  or  the  supply  constant  enough,  but  we  have 
made  arrangements  to  handle  these  goods  through  a  wholesale 
house,  under  our  inspection,  and  we  are  able  to  get  wholesale 
prices  for  the  quality  and  grade  received.
