Crops & iiUxirhfis. 
Saturday, October 12, 1889. 
The Grain Market is very quiet. 
Wheat shows an upward tendency, while 
reports from the winter-wheat belt indicate 
a large part of the crop still in the growers’ 
hands, who are inclined to sell at pres¬ 
ent prices only as ne essity compels. The 
fall seeding has generally been heavier 
than in recent years, except in certain lo¬ 
calities where drought has prevented proper 
preparation of the soil. Corn and oats 
show a downward tendency in price. 
Potatoes are in large supply in this 
city, and are large and of excellent quality. 
The price is well maintained, however, as 
the demand is good. Sweets are plenty and 
a trifle lower in price. Prime Virginias are 
worth 81.50 per barrel, with Jerseys rang¬ 
ing higher. Turnips bring a good price at 
present, $1.50 to 81.70 per barrel. Onions 
and other vegetables show little change. 
Apples are coming forward quite freely, 
but there are very few prime lots. Nice 
red apples well assorted and packed are in 
good demand, but other grades are neglected. 
The Southern trade take a good many ap¬ 
ples and they require red fruit, Baldwins 
usually satisfying their requirements as 
well as any. 
Messrs. J. C. Houghton & Company, 
Liverpool, cable that in their market 
American apples are in good demand, at 
the following prices for sound fruit: Bald¬ 
wins, 82.08 to 84.87, Greenings. $8.16 to $3.65. 
Messrs. James Lindsay & Son, Glasgow, 
cable their market as follows : Greenings, 
83.40 to $3.89; Baldwins, 84.13 to 84.85; 
Kings. 84.85 to $5.83; Ben-Davis, $4.02 to 
4.85. The shipments to October 5, 1889, ag¬ 
gregate about 43,000 barrels, against a total 
to same date last year of about 175,000 bar¬ 
rels, a difference in favor of last season of 
about 132,000 barrels. This week the ship¬ 
ments will probably be heavier than hereto¬ 
fore, the market abroad having improved 
and the late varieties of apples being in 
condition to ship.
