Boston  Produce  Markets 
NEARBY  EGGS  AOVANIC.NG  RAPIDLY. 
Eggs  have  been  the  sensational  mar¬ 
ket  feature  lately,  owing  to  the  brisk  ad¬ 
vance  in  price  this  month.  It  is  unusual 
for  eggs  to  sell  at  40c  or  better  before 
the  middle  of  August.  Some  retailers 
are  already  asking  Winter  prices.  The 
Boston  wholesale  market  is  very  irregu¬ 
lar  at  present.  #  While  40c  is‘  the  top 
quotation  by  the  Chamber  of  Commerce, 
dealers  are  found  quoting  all  the  way 
from  38  to  45c  for  hennery  extras.  II. 
P.  Hood  it  Sons  report  paying  39c  in  the. 
country,  and  that  seems  to  be  about  the 
market  basis  of  the  towns  near  Boston. 
Higher  quotations  at  times  are  caused  by 
the  sales  of  small  lots  of  special  marks. 
The  tone  of  the  market  seems  strong, 
lint  it  depends  somewhat  on  the  weather 
which  has  been  very  hot  in  the  West,  not 
only  checking  production,  but  causing 
much  damage  during  shipment.  ‘•West¬ 
ern  eggs  are  fairly  burned  up,”  said  one 
dealer.  “My  receipts  of  best  eggs  have 
fallen  off  one-third,”  remarked  another. 
Total  receipts  at  Boston  the  past  week 
or  two  have  been  light  for  the  time  of 
year,  and  taking  into  account  the  large 
proportion  of  heated  eggs,  it  is  easy  to 
adcount  for  the  rise  in  the  choice  grades. 
POULTRY  HOLDS  FIRM. 
Tim  poultry  market  is  high  for  so  late 
in  the  season.  There  is  more  stock  com¬ 
ing  in,  especially  chickens,  but  demand 
seems  to  expand  without  lowering  the 
price  much.  It  is  possible  to  quote  live 
fowls  at  20c  and  broilers  at  23c.  “Broil¬ 
ers  should  not  be  shipped  under  1  lb. 
live  weight,”  said  Amos  Keyes  it  Son, 
“At  this  season  there  is  very  little  de¬ 
mand  for  light  weight  individual  broilers 
of  three-quarter  lb.  A  few  are  sold  at 
say  50c  per  pair,  but  it  would  pay  to 
bold  them  for  heavier  weights.  Live 
ducks  are  16  to  18c.  Choice,  large  white 
Pekin  might  bring  a  little  more.  There 
is  110  demand  for  geese.  A  few  young 
live  turkeys  from  Vermont  sold  at  25c 
per  lb.  There  is  still  some  dying  in 
coops  of  hot  weather  shipments  even 
whefC  coops  arc  not  crowded.  Some 
shippers  study  the  weather  indications 
and  do  not  start  live  poultry  when  a  hot 
spell  is  coming.  The  standard  coops  hold¬ 
ing  about  15  average  fowls,  are  best;  25 
or  30  is  t.00  many  in  one  coop  of  any 
size.  The  best  coops  have  open  slat 
sides,  but  a  solid  floor  with  feeding  and 
watering  convenient.” 
BUTTER  MARKET  WELL  SUSTAINED. 
Much  heated  stock  is  arriving,  and 
only  a  small  proportion  of  receipts  grade 
as  extras. 
Top  grades  bring  30c  or  better,  owing 
to  the  light  supply.  A  check  was  put 
upon  certain  speculative  ideas  by  the  re¬ 
port  of  the  associated  storehouses  of  the 
showing  8,600,000  lbs.  increased  storage 
over  last  year.  Extras  are  30  to  3046c, 
firsts  2S  to  20c,  seconds  26  to  2744c. 
GREEN  VEGETABLES  IN  BETTER  SUPPLY. 
I>ry,  sunny  weather  has  made  a  dif¬ 
ference  in  the  appearance  of  receipts. 
Later  pickings  of  beans  have  been  more 
free  from  rust,  the  supply  is  larger  and 
price  down  to  $2  per  bu.  Wax  string 
beans  $2  to  $2.25.  Flat  green  are  $1.50 
to  $1.75,  but  round  green  $2.25  to  $2.50. 
Most  peas  are  poor,  but  some  are  very 
good,  and  the  range  is  $1  to  $2  per 
box.  Cucumbers  are  in  larger  supply  and 
lower  at  $2,75.  Native  tomatoes  are  still 
scarce  at  $3  per  box.  Beets  bring  about 
$2  per  100  bunches;  carrots,  40  to  50c 
do/,,  bunches;  parsnips  $1  do/,  bunches; 
squashes,  Summer,  $1  do/.;  onions  $1.25 
per  box ;  green  corn  $1  per  box ;  lettuce 
75c  to  $1  per  box ;  parsley  75c  per  box. 
Cabbages  are  doing  much  better  at  $1.50 
per  bbl.  Potatoes  arc  firm  on  a  basis 
of  $1.15  to  $1.25  per  bu.  Field  beans 
are  still  sagging  back  after  the.  big  rise 
a  few  weeks  ago.  Choice  liaml-picked 
pea  beans  can  hardly  be  quoted  above 
$5.60  now. 
NOT  MANY  GOOD  APPLES  OFFERED. 
Small  green  apples  sell  for  $1  per  box ; 
small  to  medium  red,  mostly  Astruchan,

$1.25  to  $1.50;  and  large  striped  Wil¬ 
liams,  Duchess,  $1.75  to  $2.  These  are 
native  but  the  finest  apples  coming  are 
from  Maryland  and  New  Jersey,  large 
Duchess,  bringing  $2.25  pier  bu/  Peach 
supplies  have  been  lighter  and  price 
around  $2.75  per  carrier.  A  few  Clapp 
pears  sold  at  $2.50  per  box.  Most  blue¬ 
berries  are  poor.  The  range  is  12  to  16c. 
A  few  strawberries  from  Nova  Scotia 
are  closing  the  season  at  10  to  15c. 
Blackberries  are  10  to  15c,  large  goose¬ 
berries  10  to  12c,  raspberries  8  to  12c, 
and  currants  8  to  10c. 
HAY  TENDING  LOWER. 
Increasing  arrivals  of  new  hay  tend 
toward  lower  prices.  No.  1  sells  at  $21, 
compared  with  $23  for  old  No.  1,  but  the 
bulk  of  old  hay  offered  is  not  above  No. 
2  at  $18  to  $21.  New  of  various  grades 
ranges  about  $2  below  old. 
GRAIN  AND  FEED  GOES  UP. 
The  advances  in  grain  have  sent  up  all  44  fobls. 
kinds  of  mill  feeds.  The  Boston  Cham¬ 
ber  of  Commerce  quotes  $1.88  for  corn- 
meal,  but  some  dealers  say  they  cannot 
find  anv  by  the  carload  at.  less  than  $2, 
which  looks  like  a  hard  outlook  for  the 
feeders.  Retail  prices  of  milk  are  being 
advanced  in  many  New  England  towns 
in  the  attempt,  to  pass  the  situation 
along  to  consumers.  Bran  is  $25  and 
middlings  $30.  Cottonseed  is  relatively 
cheaper  than  meal  selling  at  $35.  and 
linseed  at.  $37.50.  Hominy  feed  is  $32.65 
and  a  desirable  substitute  for  corn  meal 
at  that  price  or  near  it.  Retail  dealers 
hesitate  to  buy  feeds  at  the  advance,  fear¬ 
ing  to  be  caught  by  equally  sharp  de¬ 
clines. 
LIVE  STOCK  PRICES  EASIER. 
The  market  at  Brighton  and  Water- 
town  have  eased  off  a  little.  Fat  cattle 
have  not  exceeded  9c,  while  fair  to  good 
range  from  6  to  Sc.  Canning  stock  soils 
at  4  to  5c.  lings  are  9  to  10c;  lambs  8 
to  10c;  sheep  7  to  8c;  good  calves  10  to 
11c.  Trade  in  milch  cows  is  slow  again, 
good  ones  selling  at  $50  to  $75,  and  com¬ 
mon  ones  at  $35  to  $45.  Hardly  any 
sold  lately  as  high  as  $100.  Quite  a 
number  have  been  arriving  out  of  condi¬ 
tion  from  the  heat,  and  the  same  is  true 
of  horses  of  which  thousands  have  been 
coming  for  export  to  Europe.  G.  B.  F.

cuts  and  elevates  green  silage  to  the  top  of  the  highest  silo  with  little 
•  power.  In  every  state,  almost  everywhere,  there  are  many  "Papecs” 
f  successfully  operated  by  gas  engines  of  onlv  4  to  8  H.  P.  Because  the  Papec 
runs  at,  the  low  speed  of  only  600  R.  P.  M..  it  takes  less  power;  because  it  has 
/  mlx  vuis  *ns^ea(i  of  the  usual  four,  it  lias  a  stronger  blast  on  less  power. 
/  1  he  low  speed  makes  the  entire  machine  more  durable.  It  is  simple— of  few 
I  parts — all  easy  to  jrot  at.  Cutting  parts  are  easy  to  adjust— and  stay  set.  Has 
no  chains.  Strong  heavy  gears  form  the  driving  mechanism.  Frame  is  one-

Fills  Highest  Silo 
AN  International  ensilage  cutter,  Type  A, 
o  Pori  •n  n  ci'Ia  t  ▼  /-v  _ _ 
*  filled  a  Pennsylvania  silo  i  io  feet  high  and 
27  feet  in  diameter,  said  to  be  the  highest  silo  in  the 
world.  This  machine  has  tremendous  capacity.  It 
pours  a  stream  of  ensilage  into  the  silo  at  the  rate  of  16  to  25 
tons  an  hour,  cutting  as  fine  or  as  coarse  as  may  be  desired. 
This  is  our  largest  cutter.  Type  B  cuts  12  to  16  tons;  Tvpe  E,  10 
to  12  tons;  and  type  F,  3  to  6  tons  per  hopr.  On  all  models 
knives  and  blower  are  attached  to  the  flywheel,  the  simplest 
arrangement  and  the  one  that  uses  the  least  power.  The  knives  can 
be  adjusted  to  absolute  accuracy,  and,  once  set,  are  held  firmly 
in  place.  Their  clean  shear  cut  begins  at  the  outer  edge,  throw¬ 
ing  most  of  the  work  close  to  the  center,  where  the  power  is 
greatest.  No  power  is  wasted. 
Internationa)  ensilage  cutters  are  safe.  All  working  parts  are 
carefully  housed.  Th©  lever  that  starts,  stops,  and  reverses  the 
machine  is  so  placed  that  a  man  cannot  reach  his  hand  as  far 
forward  as  the  knives  without  stopping  the  machine. 
*1  he  power  cost  is  low.  The  machine  will  fill  any  silo.  The 
Operators  are  carefully  protected  from  injury.  Here  are  three 
good  reasons  for  seeing  the  machine  at  the  local  dealer’s  place 
of  business,  or  writing  to  us  for  full  information.
