Buffalo Wholesale Markets 
Tn spite of the full growing season, 
with everything more than plenty, the 
market price of produce is good, often 
strong. Possibly farmers are too busy to 
keep lip with their garden stall and early 
fruits.

t New 
Philadelphia Produce Market 
Receipts of vegetables were heavy in 
Philadelphia last week, and the market 
was dull and draggy. Fruits were not 
over plentiful, and sold fairly well. Sour 
cherries, when good, had a good demand, 
prices ranging 30e to 14c per lb. Cur¬ 
rants and gooseberries were also in fair 
demand, but raspberries moved only mod¬ 
erately well, with 10 c per j it. as top price 
for good berries. The supply of black¬ 
berries was not heavy, but the market 
was dull at around 20c per qt, with New 
Jersey stock practically monopolizing the 
market the last of the week. A few new 
ap|iles from Delaware, Maryland and New 
Jersey were offered, but priees were ir¬ 
regular. the first of the hand-picked Stars 
selling $1.50 to $2 per ‘fk-bn. basket, and 
some Maryland Trunsparents up to $2.25 
per bu. 
TOMATO AND CABBAGE RECEIPTS HEAVY 
Tomato receipts from the South have 
been heavy. New Jersey growers started 
marketing of tomatoes in Philadelphia 
this season about June 20 at $4 for a 30- 
lb. crate for an opening price, compared 
with $4 50 per crate last year. Prices on 
the New Jersey product declined rapidly, 
due to the competition with Mississippi 
and other Southern tomatoes. The cab¬ 
bage market was also in poor shape. 
There were more than adequate supplier 
from near-by points, and at times the 
shipped-in cabbage did not. bring enough 
to pay tlie* freight charges. Supplies of 
onions from New Jersey increased stead¬ 
ily, and under a slow market prices de¬ 
clined. Asparagus is gradually cleaning 
up. but the demand for fancy continues 
to be good at 30c to 40c for I lie extra 
fancy qualities. Too many string beans 
in the market resulted in low priees and 
a slow movement at 10 c per %-lm. basket 
downward. Peas are gradually cleaning 
up. and the few remaining have bften com¬ 
manding good prices if of good quality. 
The potato market 1 ms ruled fairly steady 
since the decline several days ago. Irish 
Cobblers from Kasteru Shore, No. 1, sold 
mostly from $4 to $4.25, a few at $4.50 
per bbl. during the week ending June 27. 
B. w. S. 
Review of New York Markets 
Of the native fruits now coming in, 
berries, peaches, cherries and muskmelous 
were of the chief interest to the trade. 
Berries have not, as a rule, arrived in very 
good condition on account of the rain in 
many producing .sections. A limited sup¬ 
ply of strawberries were received from the 
Oswego and Hudson River Valley sec¬ 
tions of New York Slate, ami the demand 
was good for fancy berries. Raspberries 
were generally poor, and many of the 
currants were small and green, the mar¬ 
ket on this fruit being generally dull. 
The demand for cherries was irregular, 
although fancy red sours sold well, but 
both black and red sweet were slow. 
Cantaloupes slumped badly, due to heavy 
receipts'from California and Georgia, and 
many cars from the latter State were re¬ 
fused. as they would not bring freight 
charges. 
The potato market lias been more 
steady since the late decline in prices. 
South Carolina is about through, but 
Virginia and Maryland growers still have 
a good proportion of their crop to ship 
yet. New Jersey growers expect to start, 
shipping the first week in July; probably 
loading will lie fairly heavy in Southern 
sections by the tenth. Jersey onions are 
increasing in supply, and peppers from 
that. State are about flue. Cabbage is 
very slow and weak, selling at too low 
price levels for profitable shipment, from 
Virginia and Maryland. Lettuce was in 
good demand, if fancy, bill much of it 
from New York State arrived water- 
soaked or was leafy, and market on such 
was slow. String beans declined mi ac¬ 
count of heavy shipments from Maryland 
and New Jersey and some Virginia stock, 
which was generally poor, was refused. 
Mississippi shippers have filled the mar¬ 
ket wiili tomatoes, and prices have ruled 
very low on the Southern product. I’eas 
were firm and good stock was wanted. 
EGGS 
Supplies of eggs have been away ahead 
of the current needs, and tin* movement 
into warehouses has been exceptionally 
heavy this season. According to the Bu¬ 
reau of Markets, there are over a million 
more cases of eggs in storage now in the 
four large cities, New York, Chicago 
Philadelphia and Boston, than there was 
at this time a year ago. New York's 
share of the surplus is over 287.0(10 eases, 
according to the same reports. Receipts 
have been heavier from the West Ilian 
was expected and with heavy supplies 
from near-by points the market has been 
slow and unsatisfactory. Buyers have 
been very critical, and with offerings very 
irregular in quality, only a comparatively 
few eggs have graded high enough to 
reach top quotations, and manv lots of 
the ordinary run of white eggs sold 
around 30e per doz. 
POULTRY 
Receipts of live poultry were generally 
light and trading fair, although White 
Leghorns were a little slow last week. 
s and 
Prices on express fowl held fairly steady, 
selling mostly 2(ic to 27e per lb. Fancy 
colored broilers have been in good demand, 
especially those weighing over 2 lbs., and 
White Leghorn broilers, if large, had fair 
sale. During the week express broilers 
sold from 42c to 47c per lb. for fancy 
colored stock. Boston broilers command¬ 
ing the higher prices. 
The supplj of fresh-killed broilers has 
been light from near-by sources, but there 
was an increase in shipments from the 
Western States, and prices averaged a 
little lower than for the week previous. 
Supplies of near-by fowl continue to be 
light, but the market has been irregular, 
with tendencies toward lower prices on 
account of liberal offerings from the West. 
IIAY AND STRAW 
The over-supplied condition of the ter¬ 
minals has been relieved somewhat by 
lighter invoices, and top grades have 
nned sfcadiei. There is still plenty of 
bay on hand, however, especially lower 
grades, and these had a slow movement. 
Rye straw continues scarce and firm.

Merger of Mortgage in Title 
I have sold a parcel of land with build¬ 
ings on a land contract, said payments to 
continue till July 1 next. Land contract 
reads the deed is to he delivered and title 
clear subject to $800 first mortgage and 
$800 second mortgage at six per cent, to 
run for three years. T have taken over 
the first .mortgage from owner of same by 
assignment, but. have not recorded the as¬ 
signment. The first mortgage lias only 
two years to run. I wanted to keep this 
mortgage alive, but am told that 1 cannot 
hold a mortgage on my own property. Is 
it. still my properly after selling on a 
land contract? Shall 1 he obliged to 
merge these two mortgages and let them 
run the three years, or can 1 record my 
assignment of the first mortgage and have 
it due in the two years, as originally 
stated in the mortgage? K. K. 
New York. 
Tt is well settled that where the legal 
and equitable estate in the same land 
beoonu's vested in the same person, the 
equitable will merge in the legal estate, 
and so, upon the same principal in flic 
question of mortgage, if the owner of the 
land becomes also the owner of the mort¬ 
gage, the two titles will not, as a general 
rule, remain alive and distinct, but the 
title ns mortgagee will sink into and be 
swallowed up in the more perfect and 
complete title as owner. It sometimes 
happens, however, that to allow this gen¬ 
eral rule to operate would be productive 
of great hardship and would be exceed¬ 
ingly inequitable, for it might be highly 
for the interest of the owner that th* 
mortgage stand and keep alive. The 
courts in many jurisdictions have held 
that equity will look to the intention 
and will pronounce in favor or against 
merger accordingly. Of course, equity 
will not permit this rule as to “intention’’ 
to be used for the accomplishment of 
fraud or injustice or wrong to others 
You are not very explicit with yonr facts, 
but from the statement given we believe 
there is no merger in this case. n. t. 
Collecting Note from Bankrupt 
Two years ago we lent a relative some 
money. A year ago be went into bank¬ 
ruptcy. Gould he put his personal note 
in with the rest of lii.s debts? The note 
was made out for six months, was re¬ 
newed once, and again becomes due next 
month. He never paid us any interest 
on same, although note says 7 per cent 
interest. Could we leave it at bank for 
collection? He has nothing. What can 
we do to make him pay? In case of his 
death would his wife have to make good 
for it? When is note outlawed? j. b. 
By taking advantage of the bankruptcy 
act a debtor is discharged from all lia¬ 
bilities. such as notes, etc. If there was 
no maker or endorser, aside from the 
bankrupt, there is no way for you to col¬ 
lect your note. You should have filed a 
claim and received your proportionate 
share, if there was any. N. v.
