Wholesale  Prices  at  New  York. 
Week  ending  May  5,  1916. 
The  commercial  values  of  farm  pro¬ 
ducts  are  what  they  sell  for— not  neces¬ 
sarily  their  food  value  or  what  some  one 
thinks  or  wishes  they  were  worth.  Hence 
represntative  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.

MILK. 
Tbe  Borden  prices  for  six  months,  be¬ 
ginning  with  April,  make  no  quotation  on 
milk  lower  than  3.3  per  cent.  fat.  The 
schedule  below,  per  100  pounds,  is  for 
points  in  the  100-mile  shipping  limit. 
Outside  points  receive  an  agreed  amount 
less.  For  April,  May  and  June  the  price 
is  tbe  same  as  last  year,  and  10  cents  per 
100  pounds  higher  for  July,  August  and 
September.

Tbe  market  is  weaker  on  most  grades 
below  fancy  creamery  and  prices  drop¬ 
ping  slowly.  Now  and  then  the  receipts 
of  a  day  are  so  light  that  there  is  a  little 
price  reaction,  but  this  is  only  tempo¬ 
rary,  as  the  make  in  the  great  dairy  sec¬ 
tions  is  steadily  increasing.  Last  year 
the  Spring  drop  on  top  grades  settled  on 
a  20-cpnt  average.  No  one  can  tell  for 
certain  whether  1010  June  fancy'  will  go 
under  30  cents,  but  from  the  present  out¬ 
look  this  seems  doubtful.  The  cheaper 
qualities  of  butter,  such  as  city  mad", 
renovated,  and  packing  grades  arc  dull, 
though  packing  stock  has  held  up  excep¬ 
tionally  well.  Considerable  variation  in 
quality  of  the  new  make — both  dairy  and 
creamery — is  always  noted  at  this  period 
of  changing  from  "buy  to  grass.”  The 
butter  maker  has  his  troubles  at  cream¬ 
eries  where  the  raw  material  is  collected 
from  a  wide  range  of  patrons  and  dairy 
pracrice.  A  few  careless  or  stubborn  pa¬ 
trons  can  upset  the  good  work  of  the 
others  and  cut  the  price  of  the  whole 
make.  Hood  butter  requires  care  and 
skill  from  the  cow  to  the  packing  room.

Receipts  of  new  make  are  larger,  both 
here  and  at  the  great  interior  markets. 
The  bulk  of  business  in  the  Northern  New 
York  sections  is  at  16  cents,  which  is 
practically  one-half  cent  above  last.  year. 
Export  business  is  light  on  account  of  the 
high  prices  asked  for  the  stock  as  well  as 
steamer  space,  rates  to  Liverpool  and 
London  being  $2  per  100  pounds  and 
$2.50  to  Havre.

The  large  receipts  are  1  loving  readily 
at  but  little  change  from  last  week's 
range  of  prices.  Store  trade  is  good  and 
speculators  working  quite  readily  ou  any¬ 
thing  suitable  to  store,  not  hesitating  at 
23  ro  34  cents.  , 
The  most  mysterious  feature  of  the 
New  York  egg  market  is  the  price  move¬ 
ment  011  white  eggs.  At  times  they  sell 
10  cents  above  brown  and  at  others  tbe 
difference  is  slight.  Those  who,  after  a 
loth  investigation,  feel  sure  that  they 
know  just  the  why  of  this  variation  are 
likely  to  find  their  explanation  no  good 
another  year.  Market  prices  are  not  gov¬ 
erned  by  mathematical  cycles  or  rules  of 
logic.  The  only  sure  thing  about  this  is 
that,  when  people  will  pay  a  considerable 
premium  for  white  eggs,  they  sell  that 
way,  and,  when  they  will  not,  the  differ- 
'•lice  disappears.  Of  course,  this  refers  to 
the  general  market  which  handles  the 
great  bulk  of  supplies,  and  not  to  the 
small  amount  of  hotel  or  other  special 
trade  contracted  for  on  the  basis  of  color, 
these  statements  arc  made  to  correct  a 
current  impression  that  the  brown  egg 
producer  stands  no  chance  for  New 
lorks  choice  trade.  He  certainly  does 
not  it  he  feels  that  way  and  grades  care¬ 
lessly,  but  those  who  use  care  and  judg¬ 
ment  find  that  New  York  buyers  are  more 
concerned  about  quality  than  color  of 
shell.
