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  wore  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.

BUTTER, 
Prices  have  both  dropped  and  advanced 
during  the  week,  closing  at  a  little 
above  the  range  last  reported.  Demand 
has  been  excellent  and  stock  moved  so 
rapidly  that  at  times  the  market  was  well 
cleared  our  and  buyers  unable  to  get  the 
qualities  desired.  Receipts  from  the 
southerly  sections  of  the  butter  belt  are 
now  of  full  grass  make,  so  that  there  is 
less  irregularity  of  quality.  Michigan  is 
vending  some  Very  fine  butter  here  at  pres¬ 
ent.  meeting  the  highest  class  of  trade. 
Butter  color  has  changed  greatly  within 
recent  years.  At  one  time  shades  ap¬ 
proaching  orange  carrot  were  common, 
and  a  dealer’s  day's  receipts  from  several 
sources  would  ion  from  orange  to  nearly 
lard  white.  Some  forms  of  color  then 
used  were  discarded  because  of  their  filthy 
or  poisonous  qualities,  and  there  came  a 
general  revulsion  against  overcoinring. 
W  hen  color  is  used  now  the  aim  is  to 
match  the  natural  June  grass  shade. 
Dairy  education  has  helped  in  uniformity 
of  coloring  as  well  as  in  general  improve¬ 
ment  of  butter  qualities.

few  squab  broilers  are  good  enough  to 
bring  the  top  prices.  Other  broilers 
weighing  two  pounds  or  slightly  under, 
each,  bring  15  to  48  cents  per  pound  and 
occasionally  a  little  better.
