Market News & Prices 
Faraielectric 
Light & Power 
The TORD PARTS Plant 
Stayman ranged $3 to $5 per barrel, as 
to size ami condition, and New York 
Greenings A2’4-inch sold around $2.50 
per barrel. New York State shipping 
points reported a firm market, for bar¬ 
reled apples, with A2%-inob Baldwins 
selling at $3.75 per barrel, f. o. b. usual 
terms. New York pears were slow, best 
Bartletts and Sheldons working out at 
around $2 per bushel. 
There were light receipts of cauliflower 
from New York State and Long Island, 
the market holding steady at $3 to $3.25 
for Long Island and $2.50 for Buffalo 
crates. The celery market: was a lirtle 
stronger, full-sized crates of York State 
celery in the rough bringing as high as 
$3.25, while Pennsylvania celery was 
offered at 15 to 18c per bunch. Some of 
the more tender vegetables are now com¬ 
ing from Virginia and more Southern 
States. The wants- of the trade for string 
beans and peas is being supplied from 
the Norfolk section, and cucumbers 
are coming from Florida. The string 
bean market was fairly active, green sell¬ 
ing at S3 ro $3.25 and wax about 50c 
higher for a V.-barrel hamper. Onions 
have been in fairly good demand, with 
unite a few shipments arriving from In¬ 
diana and Ohio, as well as from Eastern 
States, the best Indiana topping the mar¬ 
ket. at $2 per 100-lb. sack. Sweet pota¬ 
toes have been very dull, especially Dela¬ 
ware stock, as liberal supplies of New 
Jersey sweets were available, which sold 
slowly at 45e per %-bushoI basket. Cab¬ 
bage was about steady at $15 re; $20 per 
ton for York Slate Danish, and there 
has been a fairly good demand for good 
white potatoes. Transylvania round 
whites ranged $2.10 to $2.15 per 150-lb. 
sack for No. 1 stock, and Jersey Giants 
sold up to $1.50 per sack. 
Poultry 
There were some accumulations of live 
poultry last week, and the market has 
been weak. There was a good deal of 
unattractive stock offered which had slow 
sale, but the really fancy poultry was 
generally in fair demand. Fancy, fat, 
colored fowl were selling on the 31st. at 
24 to 2Ge lb., while the best Spring 
chickens and broilers brought only 22 to 
23c lb. Some interest was manifested 
in dressed fowl, and the marker was kept 
fairly well cleared at 752c lb. for the best 
fresh-killed heavy stock. Dressed chick¬ 
ens were plentiful, nearby stock weigh¬ 
ing Ha to 2 lbs. selling at 33 to 35 lb., 
while the heavy stock brought 32 to 33c 
lb. Ducks sold fairly well at 20 to 30c 
lb. for nearby stock. 
Eggs 
Receipts of eggs for the week ending 
October 28 were 14,414 cases, or about 
3.000 cases less than for the previous 
week, according to Government, figures 
for the Philadelphia market. The total 
receipts since January 1 for the four big 
markets arc nearly a million cases more 
than last. year. However, there has been 
an actual shortage of fancy fresh eggs, 
and this class slock was quickly taken 
over by the trade. Nearby extra firsts 
brought as high as 58o dozen : seconds, 
o3 to ->5c dozen, A considerable propor¬ 
tion of the supply was not high grade, 
was irregular in value and sold slowly in 
competition with storage stock. Storage 
eggs have been moving out at the average 
rate of about 3,700 cases daily for the 
past two weeks, with practically no move¬ 
ment into storage. There were about 
240.000 eases on hand in storage in Phil¬ 
adelphia on October 30. 
HAY AN1) STRAW 
The ha.v market: has kept pretty well 
cleaned up on fancy offerings, the bulk 
of the stock being rather low-grade, 
which was little wanted. On the 31st 
No. 2 Timothy was steady at $10 to $20 
per ton, light clover mixed hay averaged 
$1 a ton less, while No. 1 rye straw sold 
at $21 to $22 per ton. a. w. s.

“My only farm machine 
that never loses a day!” 
~f OW many times, just when I’ve been ready 
to go into the meadow with the mower, or 
start for the back lot with the reaper. I’ve 
been held up because some part of the machine— 
perhaps one of the simplest parts—needed to be 
“That’s why I used to think light power plants 
were very likely the same as the rest of the farm 
machinery—often out of service and hard to get 
"You can understand, too. how my fears cleared 
away with Hie words-— Fa-rmelectrio—the Ford 
"In Farmnlectric I’ve got, the same*good invest¬ 
ment I have in my Ford ear—that of being on the job every day in the 
year. Those Ford Farts mean that, this piece of farm machinery, like 
the Ford, will seldom be out of order, but when long use finally calls for 
the replacement of some part, Hie nearby Ford garage is going to fix me 
up, and no time will be lost 
"Ford Parts mean economy, too. My Ford bills ore next to nothing. 
Ford Parts are so low in price. So, if I ever have to buy a new piston 
or timer gear or something else for Farmeleetric, I know I’ll pay only a 
reasonable price, and got the best quality there is. 
"Farmeleetric 1ms changed the farm in more ways than I ever bad 
thought possible. Xow at night. I can come in from the barn to a kitchen 
that’s bright as day. After supper I reach for my glasses and tlie farm 
papers, anxious for a long evening’s enjoyment. 
"And my wife is tilde to join me soon, for her work lias been lightened 
in so many ways. There’s the running water in the kitchen, the electric 
washing machine, the electric iron—all big savers of time and hack- 
breaking labor. 
"The boys talk about Farmeleetric because it pumps the water for 
their shower bath. The hired men like the change in the barn, where a 
snap of the switch takes the place of the old smoky lanterns. 
"Honestly. Farmeleetric is the biggest thing that's ever come into our 
lives. And the biggest thing about it is that it always stays on the job.” 
Farmeleetric is the simplest light, and power plant made today. It is 
easiest to operate. And its maintenance costs less than you now spend 
on oil lamps. It actually pays its own tray in the time and money it 
saves. 
Farmeleetric is built by the Poole Engineering and Machine Company 
of Baltimore, a factory that 
has figured in the history of 
American machinery m o r c» 
than three-quarters of a cen¬ 
tury. And just as machines 
built by Poole long before the 
Civil War are still in use, so 
Farmeleetric is built for you 
and your children after you. 
Yon can’t afford to pass by 
this opportunity of learning 
how you can make yours a 
better farm. Mail this cou 
pon today.

Philadelphia Produce Market 
(Supplied by New Jersey State Department of 
Agriculture, Bureau of Markets) 
The decrease in the amount and 
variety of nearby vegetables and fruits 
has naturally caused larger shipments of 
commodities in carlo!* to the Philadel¬ 
phia market. Last week about 900 car¬ 
loads of produce were unloaded, or about 
three rimes as many as were received 
during some weeks in August, when 
nearby receipts were heavy. About 380 
of the 900 carloads received were grapes, 
of which New York Slate was the largest 
single contributor, followed by California 
and Pennsylvania. The market was 
overloaded, and prices on Concords de¬ 
clined fully 20c on a 12-quart basket 
during the last week in October. Cran¬ 
berries are all harvested for the season, 
hut it is a little too early for the retail 
trade to show much interest in this crop 
and the demand has been rather a slow 
one. There has been an upward ten¬ 
dency for good stock, however, which 
many growers may take as a good omen. 
Very little interest was shown in apples 
and prices held steady, although the 
movement was a slow one. Pennsylvania
