Products,  Prices  and  Trade. 
Wholesale  Prices  at  New  York. 
Week  ending  June  9,  1916. 
The  commercial  values  of  farm  pro¬ 
ducts  are  vvlmt  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. 
milk. 
The  Borden  prices  for  six  months,  be¬ 
ginning  with  April,  make  no  quotation  on

less.  Dairymen  scoring  less  than  25  per 
cent,  on  equipment  and  4.‘!  on  methods 
are  discounted  10  cents  per  100  lbs.  from 
this  schedule.

Arrivals  for  the  week  have  been  too 
large  for  current  needs,  so  that  there  has 
been  a  cut  of  one-half  to  one  cent  on  con¬ 
siderable  medium  to  good  stock  to  clear  it 
Up.  Hovers  took  hold  quite  readily  at  the 
decline.  City  made  and  packing  stock  are

HIGGS 
Thoroughly  sound  eggs  have  sold  on 
practically  the  same  basis  as  the  previous 
week.  Considerable  falling  off  in  quality 
is  noted,  owing  to  cureless  gathering  or 
too  long  holding,  mainly.  In  farm  flocks 
where  the  hens  lay  all  over  the  place, 
some  nests  are  not  found  for  several  days 
or  are  not  looked  after  because  hat'd  to 
get  at  perhaps  covered  by  broody  hens. 
A  large  hen,  determined  both  to  sit  and 
set  -sticking  to  the  nest  as  though  glued 
fast,  (illicitly  damages  a  fertile  egg.  The 
National  and  many  State  health  authori¬ 
ties  are  beginning  a  rather  strict  enforce¬ 
ment  of  law  with  regard  to  eggs  unfit  for 
food.  Fines  may  fall  upon  the  dealers  at 
first,  but  the  producers  will  be  the  event¬ 
ual  losers,  as  well  as  being  discriminated 
against  by  receivers.  Those  who  soonest, 
start  being  critically  careful  about  their 
egg  shipments  will  profit  by  the  reputa¬ 
tion  such  care  brings.

Strawberries  in  large  supply  but  aver¬ 
aging  in  better  condition,  a  larger  pro¬ 
portion  wholesaling  above  1 1  cents — ex¬ 
ceptionally  fine  more  than  this.  Black¬ 
berries  In  much  larger  supply  and  run¬ 
ning  sofl.  There  is  a  little  early  trade 
in  green  gooseberries,  stripped  from  the 
hushes  and  cleaned  in  a  fanning  mill. 
Some  come  in  large  baskets,  bringing  a 
little  under  $2  per  bushel.  Muskmelon 
supply  increasing  and  business  active. 
Beaches  mainly  ordinary,  but  a  few 
fancy  lots  have  sold  higher.  Cherries  are 
arriving  in  small  quantities  from  the 
Maryland  section,  selling  at  five  to  nine 
rents  per  pound. 
Very  little  change  noted  in  the  apple 
market;  sound  in  good  demand  at  last 
week's  high  figures,  and  damaged  cleared 
out  at  any  price.  There  is  fair  reason 
to  believe  that  part,  of  the  speculative 
apple  deal  is  coming  out  better  than  was 
expected.
