Short  Apple  and  Crop  Notes 
Wolcott.  X.  Y. — Apples  in  Wayne  Co. 
badly  affected  w  ith  fungus.  A  few^  well 
sprayed  red  orchards  will  barrel  75  per 
cent.  “A'’  grade.  Not  10  per  cent. 
Crooning  orchards  worth  barrelling. 
Whole  crop  about  SO  per  cent,  of  last 
year.  Less  than  25  per  cent.  “A”  grade. 
No  prices  made  yet.  J.  t. 
Oakfield,  X.  Y. — Only  10  pei*  cent, 
merchantable  Winter  apples  in  Genessee 
Co.  A.  B.  E. 
East  Chatham.  X.  Y. — Winter  apples 
scarce  and  small.  Potatoes  light,  corn 
very  backward;  will  need  all  of  Septem¬ 
ber  to  mature.  Hay  crop  was  large,  but 
considerably  damaged.  W.  H.  r. 
Charlotte.  X.  Y. — Apples  poor  except 
Baldwin,  which  are  about  75  per  cent, 
of  crop.  H.  F.  s. 
Spencer  port,  N.  Y. — Apples  25  per 
cent,  of  crop;  very  few  Greening  fit  to 
barrel.  Some  Baldwins  fit  for  “B-’  grade. 
Boston  Produce  Markets 
RUTTER  STEADY. 
With  the  advance  of  one  cent  as  re¬ 
corded  in  last  report  the  price  of  butter 
ceased  to  climb,  but  tbe  market  has  held 
firm  waiting  for  the  next  development.  A 
slight  falling  off  in  demand  has  appeared 
with  the  higher  prices.  Extra  tub  cream¬ 
ery  is  Quoted  at  32^£c.  and  dairy  at  25  to 
30c.  Print  butter  is  one  cent  higher  than 
tub.  Said  I.  H.  Ballou  &  Co.;  “The 
market  appeal's  rather  unhealthy  on  ac¬ 
count  of  the  unusually  high  level  for  the 
time  of  year.  Tbe  salvation  of  the  butter 
market,  last  year  was  tbe  steady  demand 
caused  by  a  moderate  level  of  prices. 
When  prices  go  above  a  certain  line, 
many  buyers  take  to  butter  substitutes. 
They  do  not  take  kindly  to  tbe  present 
level,  and  demand  is  not  strong.  Tbe  fu¬ 
ture  of  the  market  depends  greatly  nn 
the  export  demand.  Quality  of  arrivals 
has  been  unusually  poor,  owing  to 
weather  conditions  when  handling  the 
cream.  With  cooler  weather,  many 
creameries  have  now  recovered  usual 
quality.” 
Tbe  cheese  market  is  very  strong  and 
advancing,  above  18c.  for  choice  lots. 
Fair  to  good  ranges  from  10  to  17  and 
skims  11  to  14c.  Higher  foreign  mai'kets 
and  the  export  demand  are  the  causes. 
The  trade  here  is  taking  hold  rather  slow¬ 
ly  at  the  higher  level. 
EGG  TRADE  MODERATE. 
The  high  price  of  fresh  eggs  is  driving 
some  of  the  trade  to  Western  eggs.  and 
cold  storage  stock.  Dealers  say  quite  a 
number  of  old  customers  have  shifted  and 
once  accustomed  to  lower  grades  they 
may  not  lnirry  back.  Western  arrivals 
still  show  beat  damage,  but  tbe  tendency 
is  toward  improvement  as  The  season  ad¬ 
vances  Weste.ru  prime  firsts  bold  at  32. 
Eastern  extras  at  42  and  nearby  hennery 
stork  at  43  to  45c.  Cold  storage  eggs  are 
27  to  28%  c. 
POULTRY  VALUES  MAINTAINED. 
Poultry  priors  are  holding  high,  and  re¬ 
ceipts  are  well  cleaned  up  Said  Hyde, 
Wheeler  &  Co. :  “Broilers  are  21  to 
21  %c.  alive  and  27  to  28c.  dressed. 
Western  dressed  broilers  are  23  to  25c. 
They  sell  lower  because  Eastern  broilers 
are  fresher,  stand  up  better  and  taste  bet¬ 
ter  and  are  bet  let*  style.  Soule  of  the 
very  best  broilers  came  from  Xew  Jersey 
and  some  from  southern  Xew  England. 
Wo  get  the  best  ones  where  the  business 
is  large,  well  systematized  and  shippers 
learn  standard  methods  from  one  another. 
In  the  back  serf  ions  some  shippers  bave 
not  heard  that  shipping  broilers  drawn 
and  beheaded  is  25  years’  behind  the 
.times,  an  they  send  all  weights  together 
as  broilers.  Many  farm  floeks  bave 
mixed  Infs  of  chickens  to  ship,  and  it 
would  be  best  to  ship  them  alive,  as  a 
mixed  weight  lot  will  sell  at  broiler  price 
and  they  can  be  shipped  in  anything  if 
not  overcrowded  or  cramped.  Dressed 
chickens  to  net  full  prices  should  be 
dressed  aught,  well  graded  and  properly 
packed,  which  is  less  convenient  for  small 
producers.”  Live  fowls  are  quoted  at 
19c.  and  dressed  23  to  24e.

GOOD  APPI.ES  IN  DEMAND. 
The  apple  trade  shows  improvement 
owing  chiefly  to  better  average  grade  of 
receipts.  Good  ones  bring  $1  to  $1.50  per 
box.  and  small,  poor  ones  50c.  to  75c. ; 
Williams  and  Duchess.  $2  to  $3  per  bbl. 
Reports  of  Winter  kinds  from  nearby  or¬ 
chards  indicate  light  crop.  Pears  should 
be  abundant  soon,  most  orchards  prom¬ 
ising  well-  Present  receipts  are  mostly 
Clapp,  selling  at  $1.25  per  box.  One.  a 
grower  near  Boston,  expects  1,000  bu. 
Native  peaches,  early  and  late,  are  re¬ 
ported  likely  to  be  scarce.  Maryland 
peaches  arc  $2,25  bu. ;  grapes.  Hudson 
River  Monro  are  12c.  pony  basket.  Blue¬ 
berries  are  10  to  15c-.;  the  best  now  come, 
from  Nova  Scotia.  Exports  of  Southern 
apples  to  Liverpool  report  high  net  re¬ 
turns.  Exports  of  early  kinds  from  Bos¬ 
ton  are  beginning  Sept.  6,  a  week  later
