high  prices  prevailing,  and  this  activity 
has  been  noted  in  practically  the  whole

The  market  remains  firm  at  practically 
unchanged  prices.  Exporters  are  unable 
to  do  much  because  of  high  freights.  Lo¬ 
cal  business  has  been  brisk,  except  on 
small  sizes  such  as  Daisies  and  Young

Demand  is  heavy  except  on  nearby 
white.  A  great  many  carefully  gathered 
eggs  are  running  about  as  good  in  qual¬ 
ity  as  the  average  of  nearby  stock,  and 
the  five  or  six  cents  difference  attracts 
at  least  some  consumers.  A  common 
method  of  retailing  eggs  here  is  to  sell 
so  many  for  25  cents.  It  may  be  8,  9, 
30,  12  or  possibly  only  6  or  7.  The  re¬ 
tailers’  windows  have  them  displayed  in 
pans  or  baskets,  labeled  with  the'  price. 
Unless  the  white  eggs  are  large  the  sign 
of  6  or  7  for  a  quarter  looks  unreason¬ 
able  compared  with  the  9  or  10  of  mixed 
colors.

ent  in  the  offerings  of  fresh-killed,  and 
hard  to  sell.  No  serious  effort  is  yet  be¬ 
ing  made  to  unload  the  storks  of  frozen 
poultry,  as  speculators  have  this  situa¬

The  commercial  values  of  farm  pro¬ 
ducts  are  wlmt  they  sell  for — not  neces¬ 
sarily  their  food  value  or  what  some  one 
thinks  or  wishes  they  were  worth.  Hence 
representative  sales  rather  than  opinions, 
even  though  unbiased,  are  the  correct 
basis  for  quotations.  Except  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  be  much 
better  or  poorer  than  the  next.

FRESH  FRUIT'S. 
The  early  part  of  the  week  was  fav¬ 
orable  for  apple  handling  and  the  move¬ 
ment  was  quite  heavy.  Prices  on  some 
of  the  better  varieties  are  higher.  These 
include  Baldwin  to  some  extent,  Jona¬ 
than,  Winesap  and  Spy.  The  fancy 
Spies,  however,  are  taken  so  quickly  that 
they  are  scarcely  visible  on  the  market. 
Most  of  those  seen  are  knotty,  off  color 
or  otherwise  defective,  usually  selling  low 
and  giving  a  bad  name  to  tin*  variety. 
There  is  frequently  complaint  of  difficulty 
in  buying  N.  Y.  State  apples  at  retail 
here.  It  is  true  that  the  fruit  stands 
do  not  handle  them  largely  because  of 
unattractive  color  and  wastage  in  bar¬ 
rel  stock.  But  they  may  always  he  had 
from  retail  grocers,  and  often  at.  mod-  J 
era  to  prices.  Strawberries  are  tempor¬ 
arily  scarce  and  higher.

Potato  business  hero  is  only  moderate, 
but  interior  markets  are  high  and  there 
is  a  generally  firm  feeling  as  to  the  out¬ 
look.  Demand  for  cabbage  is  good,  the 
old  now  arriving  is  running  poor,  so  that 
the  choice  southern  is  high.  Onions  in 
heavy  surplus  and  mainly  low.  Texas 
new  onions  are  moving  but  not  enough 
here  to  establish  a  market.  Green  peas 
scarce  and  up  to  $S  per  bushel  in  some 
cases.  String  beans  lower  except  for 
fancy.  Lettuce  very  poor.  Asparagus 
from  the  South  coming  in  small  lots.  J
