A  WAITING  HAY  MARKET. 
The  trade  seems  to  be  waiting  to  see 
what  reception  the  new  crop  will  get. 
Most  buyers  are  looking  for  lower  prices. 
The  arrivals  so  far  are  of  wide  quality 
•range.  (Some  bright  -and  good,  some 
very  poor.  Good  new  hay  is  quoted  about 
$1  below  corresponding  grade  of  old  hay. 
Much  of  the  Eastern  market  hay  will  be 
poor  this  year.  Harvest  conditions  in 
New  England  have  been  the  most  diffi¬ 
cult  since  !!)02.  The  frequent  rains  in¬ 
jured  much  of  tlie  crop  and  weather  com¬ 
bined  with  great  Scarcity  of  labor  de¬ 
layed  the  work  until  many  fields  were 
past,  their  prime.  As  high  as  $5  a  day 
is  reported  paid  in  some  towns  for  ex¬ 
pert  hay  makers.  The  lowlands  and  mea¬ 
dows  are  still  wet,  and  a  great  deal  will 
bo  cut  very  late  or  not  at  all.  No.  1 
horse  hay  is  $23  to  $24  in  Boston  and 
good  coarse  Eastern  (old)  $21  to  $22.

Roulette,  Pa. 
This  is  the  wettest  and  coldest  sea¬ 
son  here  for  many  years  (people  say  ever 
known).  It  rained  on  each  of  15  days 
in  May,  and  on  10  in  this  mouth  up  to 
and  including  the  27th.  Our  coldest 
morning  this  month  was  the  11th  (50 
deg.).  Our  hottest  at  noon  the  23rd 
(79  (leg.).  Prices  of  grain  and  hay  flat. 
I  sold  a  load  yesterday  of  good  mixed 
(clover  and  Timothy)  hay  in  Coldvvater 
(old)  for  $8  per  ton.  The  crop  of  hay 
(to  cut)  is  immense.  Corn  very  back¬ 
ward,  many  fields  not  worked  on  account 
of  the  extreme  wet.  Almost  impossible 
to  get  a  hand  at  any  price.  c.  E. 
Coldwater,  Mich. 
July  25.  This  season  has  brought  us 
one  of  the  largest  hay  crops  we  have  had 
for  years,  and  most  of  it  is  good  quality, 
especially  for  cow  feed,  which  is  our 
main  business  here.  Corn  is  not  looking 
quite  so  good  owing  to  late  season.  Win¬ 
ter  wheat  is  very  good  and  prospects  for 
oats  and  buckwheat  look  bright.  Every 
body  is  complaining  about  potato  bugs 
and  nearly  all  are  spraying.  Rutter  is 
selling  in  local  stores  at  28  and  30  cents. 
Average  price  of  milk  is  around  $1.20, 
which  seems  low.  Many  new  silos  going 
up,  no  less  than  eight  hollow  tile  ones 
being  built  in  a  radius  of  five  miles  from 
this  farm.  Some,  owing  to  corn  crop  be¬ 
ing  light,  are  going  to  put  clover  in 
their  silos.  Hay  is  mostly  all  in  and  the 
price  will  be  about  $7.50,  although  in 
this  locality  most  farmers  feed  all  their 
hay.  Nearly  all  cows  are  well  graded 
and  Jersey  and  Holstein  registered  bulls 
are  the  rulp  rather  than  the  exception. 
Centerville,  Pa.  A.  b.  ir. 
Farmers  are  selling  here,  potatoes  35c 
per  peck;  green  beans,  2  qts.  25c;  eggs 
38  to  44c  a  do/,. ;  tomatoes  15c  per  qt. ; 
lettuce  5c  a  head.  Week-old  calves  are 
sold  for  $3  to  $5  each ;  milch  cows  $50 
to  $100  as  to  quality.  Hay  about  half 
stored  and  very  poor  in  quality.  Oats 
good  on  poor  baud,  but  good  land  grew 
too  much  straw,  and  the  loss  will  be 
large.  Berries  of  all  kinds  were  a  large 
crop  but.  prices  low.  All  crops  are  from 
two  to  four  weeks  late,  and  still  raining, 
so  there  will  not  be  any  drought  this 
year.  T.  w. 
Poeantico  Hills,  N.  Y. 
July  23.  This  part  of  Delaware  Co. 
is  not  much  of  a  farming  community,  hut 
good  dairy  cattle  bring  about  from  $80  to 
$400.  Personally  I  have  only  a  few  good 
cows  and  sell  their  milk  at  retail,  sold  to 
customers  in  bottles,  have  been  receiving 
Se  a  quart,  but  from  today  on  the  price 
will  be  10c.  All  the  milk  dealers  in  this 
nearby  country  raised  the  price  of  their 
milk  to  10c,  a  week  ago.  Reason  for  this 
is  the  high  price  of  feedstuff  and  the  high 
price  of  ice,  which  advanced  this  .Sum¬ 
mer.  I  do  not  sell  anything  from  my 
small  farm  but  outside  of  a  garden,  use 
the  rest  of  the  land  for  growing  different 
staples  for  feeding  to  stock.  l.  s. 
Rutledge,  N.  Y. 
July  24.  Potatoes  $1  bu. ;  cabbage  5e 
per  head;  fowl  16c  lb.;  broilers  40c  each; 
butter  28c;  eggs  24c;  side  pork  15c  lb.; 
hogs  42c  dressed ;  veal  calf,  suckers,  !)c, 
live.  Cows,  black  and  white,  $75  to  $100, 
not  for  sale.  Horses,  1,200  lbs.,  $100  to 
$275.  This  has  been  a  potato  section, 
but  changing  fast  to  dairy,  milk  produced 
at  cost.  Hay  $14  to  $15;  Alfalfa  $16, 
not  much  rain ;  oats  55e  bu.,  32  lbs. 
Help  stands  at  a  premium,  not  to  be  bad 
at  any  price.  Farmers  have  to  change 
work  to  get  haying  done,  going  rapidly, 
good  crop  and  quality.  Oats  promise  of 
big  crop,  not  much  rye  or  wheat  raised, 
some  apples  $2  to  $3.50  bbl.  8omc  eher- 
rios,  10c  quart.  C.  A.  S. 
Seward,  N.  Y. 
July  24.  Nearly  all  of  Cayuga  Coun¬ 
ty  is  devoted  to  diversified  farming  with 
the  following  leading  crops:  Hay,  oats, 
wheat,  barley,  buckwheat,  corn,  potatoes, 
cabbage  and  some  apples.  Apples  are  the 
loading  fruit;  some  peaches  and  smaller 
fruits.  The  beefing  of  cattle,  is  uot  fol¬ 
lowed  much  in  this  section.  A  few  farm¬ 
ers  fatten  steers  and  scrub  cows  that 
they  bring  in  from  other  places.  There 
are  practically  no  cheese  factories  in  this 
county  now,  butter  being  the  only  dairy 
product.  A  large  percentage  of  the  milk 
is  shipped  to  New  York  City.  c.  ii.  R. 
Seimett,  N.  Y. 
Apples  in  this  locality  are  not  a  quar¬ 
ter  of  a  crop.  All  kinds  are  very  light; 
uot  much  fruit  of  any  kind  except  plums. 
Potatoes  are  looking  fine,  also  oats  and 
buckwheat,  as  if  there  would  be  a  good 
crop.  There  is  a  big  yield  of  hay  around 
here.  o.  J. 
Cherry  Valley,  N.  Y. 
The  season  on  Long  Island  has  been 
very  favorable  for  the  production  of 
milk.  At  Southampton  about  2,500 
quarts  are  sold  daily,  part  being  retailed 
at  from  10  to  12  cents  per  quart.  The 
wholesale  price  to  bakeries  and  candy 
shops  is  eight  cents  and  where  larger 
quantities  are  sold  seven  cents  is  the  av¬ 
erage.  Some  certified  is  produced  for 
which  20  cents  is  charged  retail.  Mid¬ 
dlemen  and  peddlers  pay  seven  emits  for 
Grade  B  milk.  Cx’enm  is  brought  from 
the  city.  Milkmen  pay  55  cents  a  quart 
for  it  uud  charge-  90  cents.  Potatoes’show- 
ing  some  signs  of  blight  on  account  of 
excessive  moisture  and  humidity.  New 
potatoes  are  selling  at  stores  for  45  cents 
a  peek.  Big  crop  of  hay  but  weather 
conditions  are  unfavorable  for  harvesting 
it.  W.  B.  T. 
Suffolk  Co.,  N.  Y. 
There  is  a  poor  apple  set  owing  to  late 
frost.  Other  farm  crops  looking  fine. 
Corn  is  late  hut  a  good  stand.  Hay  is 
extra  good.  Will  cut  more  than  three 
times  as  much  as  last  year.  Berries, 
cherries,  currants,  all  good.  Rye  uud 
oats,  large  crop.  S.  w.  I.
