The  commercial  values  of  farm  pro¬ 
ducts  arc  what  they  sell  for — not  neces¬ 
sarily  their  food  value  or  what  some  one 
thinks  or  wishes  they  were  worth.  Hence 
representative  stiles  rather  than  opinions, 
even  though  unbiased,  are  the  correct 
basis  for  quotations,  Mxcept  in  cases 
where  quality  is  standardized  by  scoring, 
the  top  grade  refers  to  the  best  on  sale 
at  the  time.  The  best  sheep,  lambs,  ap¬ 
ples,  pears,  etc.,  one  week  may  he  much 
better  or  poorer  than  the  next.

The  Borden  contract  prices  for  the  six 
months  beginning  with  Oelrl.er  are  based 
on  the  fat  content  of  tin*  milk,  there  being 
a  difference  of  (!()  cents  per  100  pounds 
between  three  and  five  tier  cent.  fat.  The 
price  increases  uniformly  three  cents  per 
100  pounds  for  every  tenth  of  one  per 
cent,  fat  increase.  Following  are  the 
prices  within  the  100-mile  shipping  zone. 
Outside  points  receive  an  agreed  amount 
less.

The  better  grades  of  dairy  and  cream¬ 
ery  arc  two  cents  higher.  High  scoring 
butter  is  extremely  scarce,  and  the  mar¬ 
ket  ti”m  on  both  storage  and  new  make 
of  this  type.  Tin*  weakest  point  in  tin* 
market  is  the  continued  surplus  of  cream¬ 
ery  below  medium,  worth  from  24  to  20

Business  has  been  a  little  better  than 
last  week,  with  a  moderate  local  trade 
and  some  export  inquiry,  though  prices 
are  rather  out  of  reach  of  the  latter  line. 
Speculators,  however,  feel  that  the  stocks 
available  arc  too  light  to  make  price  cut¬ 
ting  necessary  at  present.  The  Winter 
make  in  Wisconsin  cheese  sections  is 
reported  light  and  market  strong.

Prices  asked  for  most  lines  of  desir¬

consumption.  There  is  plenty  of  under

some  offered  as  low  as  15  cents.

The  market  is  active  on  mill  demand, 
hut  less  speculative  business  is  noted. 
Recent  sales  at  Boston  have  been  :  New 
York  and  Michigan  unwashed  Delaine. 
Apples  an*  moving  steadily  at  the 
former  high  prices  for  choice.  Consider¬ 
able  of  the  slock,  however,  goes  from 
$2.50  down,  owing  to  poor  grading,  slack 
parking  or  frost  damage.  Barrelled  ap¬ 
ples  an*  often  handled  very  roughly  in 
lin'oarling  from  cars  to  docks,  especially 
when  high  tide  puts  Ihe  lighters  holding 
the  cars  far  above  the  dock  level,  so  that 
the  handlers  have  a  step  downhill  job. 
Barrels  frequently  fall  from  tin*  gang 
plunk  or  truck,  striking  the  Hour  heavily, 
and  perhaps  at  the  same  time  knocking 
50  cents  or  more  from  tin*  price.  Ar¬ 
rivals  of  strawberries  much  larger.  Some 
open  crates  received:  very  few  wholesal¬ 
ing  above  25  cents.
