The  storm  of  Wednesday  and  Thurs¬ 
day  upset  business  and  made  delivery  of 
apples  slow.  Receipts  on  dock  have  been 
large  and  prices  us  high  as  could  be  ex¬ 
pected  considering  quality.  The  demand 
for  sound  well-graded  apples  is  good. 
Such  bring  from  $3  to  $4.25  and  occa¬ 
sionally  higher  for  fancy  varieties.

Products,  Prices  and  Trade 
Wholesale  Prices  at  New  York 
'  Week  ending  Feb.  4,  1916. 
The  commercial  values  of  farm  products 
are  what  they  sell  for — not  necessarily 
their  food  value  or  what  some  one  thinks 
or  wishes  they  were  worth.  Ilcnee  repre¬ 
sentative  sales  rather  than  opinions,  even 
though  unbiased,  are  the  correct  basis  for 
quotations.  Except  in  cases  where  qual¬ 
ity  is  standardized  by  scoring,  the  top 
grade  refers  to  the  best  on  sale  at  the 
time.  The  best  sheep,  lambs,  apples, 
pears,  etc.,  one  week  may  be  much  better 
or  poorer  than  the  next. 
Live  Stock  and  Dairy  Markets. 
MILK. 
The  Borden  contract  prices  for  the  six 
months  beginning  with  October  are  based 
on  the  fat  content  of  the  milk,  there  being 
a  difference  of  GO  cents  per  100  pounds 
between  three  and  live  per  cent.  fat.  The 
price  increases  uniformly  three  cents  per 
JOO  pounds  for  every  tenth  of  one  per 
cent,  fat  increase.  Following  arc  the 
prices  within  the  100  mile  shipping  zone. 
Outside  points  receive  an  agreed  amount 
less.

BUTTER. 
The  market  broke  heavily  in  the  middle 
of  the  week  but  recovered  most  of  the  de¬ 
cline  later,  except  on  medium  grades,  of 
which  there  is  a  heavy  proportion  in  both 
current  receipts  and  storage.  Tin-  stor¬ 
age  outlook  is  not  encouraging  to  holders 
of  medium  to  good  grades,  and  some  have 
been  unloading  as  rapidly  as  possible. 
The  present  colder  weather  may 
strengthen  the  market.

CHEESE. 
The  market  continues  firm,  both  here 
and  at  interior  points.  This  is  not  be¬ 
cause  of  active  demand,  but  on  account 
of  light  receipts  during  the  past  month 
and  the  feeling  that  stocks  in  storage  are 
only  moderate.  Prices  are  too  high  to 
interest  exporters.

Arrivals  arc  not  large,  and  market 
two  to  four  cents  higher.  Recent  cold 
weather  has  cut  down  production  in  the 
Central  West,  so  that  collections  are 
lighter.  The  outlook  for  nearby  white  is 
more  encouraging,  sales  of  uniformly 
good  sized  stock  having  run  up  to  41

Recent  arrivals  of  fresh-killed  show 
damage  from  the  10  days  of  warm  weath¬

be  swept  away  by  the  new  price  informa¬ 
tion  contained  in  this  book.  Never  before

merchandise  information  gathered  together

tured,  described  and  priced,  as  in  this  new  big 
book,  154  of  its  pages  are  printed  in  full  natural

A  New  Era  in  Merchandising 
Great  Mail  Order  Catalogs  have  shown  you  how 
to  buy  at  lower  prices  than  you  could  get  in  retail 
stores.  But  this  new  book  of  bargains  shows  how 
to  buy  at  even  lower  prices  than  were  ever  before 
offered  by  mail  ! 
1  he  Charles  William  Stores  have  brought  a 
new  idea  into  Mail  Order  Selling.  Here  is  a  system 
of  enormous  stores,  each  one  as  big  as  many  whole 
institutions,  carrying  such  stocks  am!  so  located  in 
the  heart  of  New  York,  the  clearing-house  for  mer¬ 
chandise  and  pricemaker  for  the  Whole  country, 
that  we  can  make  prices  that  are  impossible  for 
others  to  make. 
And  what  a  range  of  choice  it  provides  for  you ! 
Is  it  farm  implements  you  are  interested  in  ?  The 
Farm  Implement  Store  shows  a  variety  you  could 
hardly  find  in  25  ordinary  stores,  at  prices  they 
could  not  afford  to  name!  Is  it  tools,  or  hardware, 
or  roofing  or  fencing,  or  machine  parts?  And  in 
the  big  book  you  can  wander  around  among  them 
and  take  your  pick. 
All  this  and  a  thousand  times  as  much  you  can 
have  before  you  in  the  1302  pages  of  the  new  big 
book.  It  sets  a-  new  pace  in  merchandise  catalogs,
