Wholesale  Prices  at  New  York. 
Week  ending  June  2,  1916. 
The  commercial  values  of  farm  pro¬ 
ducts  are  what  they  soli  for — not  neces¬ 
sarily  their  food  value  or  what  some  one 
thinks  or  wishes  they  were  worth.  Ileuco 
representative  stiles  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.

Available  stocks  of  high  quality  cream¬ 
ery  are  small,  partly  owing  to  slow  trans¬ 
portation  and  delays  in  delivery.  Prices 
remain  at  about.  last  week's  range,  with 
the  exception  of  packing  stock  and  city 
made,  which  are  lower.

The  market  is  decidedly  weaker  on  tlio 
bulk  of  fair  to  good  stock.  Eggs  worth 
20  to  21  cents  now  are  doubtful  property 
to  hold.  Commission  dealers  who  are 
trying  to  help  their  skippers  arc  often 
forced  into  what  turns  out  to  he  n  bad 
bargain  by  the  shipper's  insistence  on  a 
certain  price  for  goods  that  do  not.  have 
the  value  at  the  time  and  probably  never 
will,  especially  with  hot  weather  and 
heavy  Summer  production  coming  on. 
The  idea  that  cold  storage  will  hold  an 
rgg  “just  as  it.  is"  is  not  correct,  ns  so 
much  depends  on  the  egg.  The  germs  of 
decay  present  in  all  doubtful  eggs  may 
be  retarded  but  will  not.  be  destroyed  by 
any  feasible  storage  temperature.  Strict¬ 
ly  choice  eggs,  especially  large  whites, 
are  not  plentiful.  Dealers  handling 
mainly  express  stock  who  have  been  get¬ 
ting  10  to  15  cases  per  day  arc  now 
receiving  only  five  or  six.  Many  hens 
arc  either  broody  or  have  dropped  off 
from  the  Spring  Hush  of  production,  and 
the  mammoth  incubators  are  turning 
many  more  of  them  into  chickens.
