New  England  Notes 
(Continued  from  page  639) 
cucumbers  bring  $6.  Potatoes  have  acted 
fairly  well  in  the  decline  of  the  market 
and  $2.15  is  still  a  common  quotation  in 
two-bushel  bags  at  the  freight  yards. 
Some  dealers  have  bought  them  at  that 
price  delivered  iu  tile  market  districts, 
which  would  he  equal  to  $2.40  at  the 
yards,  but  really  fancy  stock  would  no 
doubt  bring  $2.50.  The  onion  market  has 
been  very  weak,  chiefly  on  account,  of 
heavy  receipts  of  Texas  onious,  which 
have'  been  selling  very  low.  and  they  drag 
down  the  Connecticut  stock  to  about  $2 
per  hag,  as  compared  with  $2.75  not  long 
ago. 
hay  and  grain  high. 
The  lack  of  freight  room  continued  to 
make  supplies  light  in  the  hay  market 
and  prices  have  continued  high.  T heatup 
figure  is  $50;  No.  2  ranges  from  $25  to 
$27.  and  clover-mixed  No.  1  $18  to  $20. 
Choice  rye  straw  is  up  $1  at  $16.  Crain 
has  been  tending  higher  in  response  to 
advancing  prices  in  the  western  grain 
markets,  and  these  have  depended  much 
on  reports  of  injury  to  the  Winter  crop 
of  wheat.  Meal  is  Quoted  in  Boston  at 
$1.60  to  $1.65  per  bag.  Bran  $25.50  to 
$25.50  per  ton.  Cottonseed  meal  $35  to 
$37  per  ton.  Gluten  feed  $31.  Linseed 
meal  $32  to  $38. 
MEATS  AND  LIVE  STOCK  STEADY. 
Iu  the  fresh  meat  market,  the  usual 
light  demand  for  the  time  of  year  pre¬ 
vails.  Prices  are  about  steady  for  veals, 
which  have  declined  one  cent  in  response 
to  heavier  supplies  and  top  price  is  now 
16  cents  for  choice  lots,  where  fair  to 
good  stock  brings  12  to  15  cents.  East¬ 
ern-  Fall  lambs  hold  at  15  to  16  cents, 
choice  hothouse  lambs  $7  to  $10  each, 
country  dressed  hogs  12^  cents  per 
pound. 
The  Brighton  live  stock  market  lately 
has  been  chiefly  notable  for  slow  demand 
and  a  tendency  toward  lower  prices  in 
some  lines.  Milch  cows,  unless  of  choice 
Quality,  have  been  hard  to  sell,  but  as 
usual  it.  has  been  possible  to  dispose  of 
large,  handsome  cows  showing  heavy  milk 
capacity,  at  good  prices,  ranging  this 
week  from  $60  to  $ljOO  with  occasional 
sales  still  higher.  Cows_  of  ordinary 
grade  range  mostly  from  $35  to  $50.  The 
market  has  declined  noticeably  from  the 
very  high  average  level  reached  during 
the  days  of  the  quarantine,  but  prices  arc 
still  pretty  high  compared  with  the  gen¬ 
eral  range  two  or  three  years  ago.  There 
appears  to  he  an  increasing  desire  on  the 
part  of  buyers  to  take  only  the  best.  cows. 
Veal  calves  have  been  in  heavy  supply 
and  prices  about  one  cent  lower  as  corn* 
pared  with  a  week  or  ten  dr. vs  ago.  The 
tup  of  the  market,  was  11  cents,  many 
lots  sold  at  eight  and  10  cents  and  infer¬ 
ior  lots  five  and  seven  cents.  Lambs 
were  in  light  supply  at  eight  and  nine 
cents  for  Standard  lols  and  10  cents  for 
choice  ones.  Hogs  ranged  from  9% 
to  10 Yj  cents,  and  were  in  good  supply 
and  brisk  demand.  Beef  stock  has  been 
selling  at  steady  prices  with  8%  to  8% 
emits  reported  for  best  steers,  6 */2  cents 
for  fat  cow’s  down  to  four  cents  for  can¬ 
ning  stock.  CL  B-  F* 
Boston  Market  Gardeners 
The  Boston  Market  Gardeners’  Asso¬ 
ciations  at  the  meeting.  April  1,  took  final 
measures  to  incorporate  under  the  State 
laws.  Membership,  funds,  etc.,  were  for¬ 
mally  transferred  to  the  new  organiza¬ 
tion.'  The  idea  is  to  give  the  association 
a  definite  legal  standing  in  connection 
with  its  various  activities.  J.  \V.  Stone. 
Frank  Wheeler  and  II.  F.  Arnold  were 
appointed  as  a  committee  to  arrange  de¬ 
tails. 
After  n  discussion  of  abuses  in  connec¬ 
tion  with  packing  and  marketing  celery 
and  cucumbers  a  committee  w  as  appointed 
to  consider  the  matte)-  in  co-operation  with 
a  similar  committee  to  be  appointed  by 
the  Boston  Fruit  and  Produce  Exchange, 
the  organization  of  wholesalers.  The 
trouble  in  tho  celery  trade  is  that  the  gar¬ 
deners  have  been  receiving  complaints  re¬ 
garding  the  careless  use  of  nails  in  mak¬ 
ing  tip  I  he  bunches.  The  dealers,  too. 
seem  to  have  been  playing  off  oue  gar¬ 
dener  against,  a  not  her  to  secure  unreason¬ 
ably  close  paring  down  of  the  bunches. 
About  the  cucumber  traffic,  the  gardeners 
agreed  that  the  boxes  packed  flat  on  top 
are  more  convenient,  to  handle,  and  more 
profitable  because  the  quantity  contained 
is  reduced  more  than  the  price  as  coin- 
pared  with  the  rounded  tops.  Tho  joint 
committee  will  consider  how  to  secure  a 
more  uniform  practice  in  marketing  these 
products. 
March  27. — Winter  wheat  90  per  cent. 
Winter  killed,  and  clover  and  Alfalfa  se¬ 
verely  damaged  by  late  freezing;  meadows 
and  pastures  in  normal  condition  except;

livestock  wintered  nicely.  Cuttle  stocks 
85  per  cent,  of  last  year,  except  fat  onOs 
which  are  scarce.  Eat  porkers  ft  rarity, 
due  to  liquidation  last  Winter  brought 
about  by  poor  gains  on  soft  coni,  un- 
protitnhle  selling  price  and  fear  of  chol¬ 
era.  Fall  pigs  scarce,  due  to  ravages  by 
cholera.  Spring  pigs  will  be  late  and  50 
per  cent,  less  than  number  furrowed  last 
Spring.  Feeding  corn  scarce  and  seed 
corn  wanting;  outs  sowing,  plowing  for
