MARKET NOTES 
butter.—A further decline of 2^ cents 
places extras at cents, five cents less 
than at the same period last year, but 2’^ 
cents above 1901. Occasional lots show the 
effect of new pasturage, and, as Is usual 
at the season between hay and grass, more 
or less variable quality Is seen. Part of 
this could be avoided by a little care on the 
part of those who do not use silage. There 
are farmers who use dry feed entirely and 
keep the cows yarded until pasturage is 
so heavy that practically no hay Is needed. 
Such violent changes of diet are highly In¬ 
judicious, and are sure to be reflected In 
dairy products. Many farmers let the cows 
browse a little before flush pasturage ar¬ 
rives, gradually tapering off the hay ration, 
a plan which gives much better results. 
CUT FLOWERS.—Since Easter there has 
been no special revival of trade, and the 
market has been generally disappointing. 
There was an over supply In all lines ex¬ 
cept lily of the valley and white sweet 
peas; for these there was a good call, the 
first mentioned being per 100, the 
peas $.3@S. Violets from up the Hudson are 
still fairly plentiful, but the season may 
be considered about over. The store de¬ 
mand is not large, and the street venders 
are leaving them for other Spring flowers. 
Common grades are 25@)35 cents per 100; 
special extra 50@75 cents. Forced tulips are 
over; a few have been coming In from out¬ 
side, bringing $1 per 100. A great quantity 
of yellow Narcissus has been coming In, 
selling for ?1@3 per 100. Roses have been 
rather unsatisfactory: the bright weather 
brought them out in great quantity, and 
the demand has been poor. Kalserln and 
Ulrich Brunner have increased the supply 
of standards. No. 1 Beauty has been $4@6: 
extra, $8010; fancy, $10@20; Golden Gate, 
Liberty, $2(g)10; Meteor, 50(g)$5. Car¬ 
nations, standards, $1.50#2; fancies, f35®4. 
Easter lilies, ?3@5: mignonette, $4®8. Lilac, 
glass-grown, 50®75 cents a bunch; this will 
drop in price rapidly, as the outdoor lilac 
comes In early. Snapdragons, stocks, 
trailing arbutus and pansies are plentiful 
and cheap. 
APPLE ITEMS.—While a great many 
poor apples are offered In all market sec¬ 
tions of this city It Is possible to get fine 
ones at reasonable prices as compared with 
other high-grade fruits. The varieties seen 
most commonly now are Spitzenburg, 
Baldwin, Ben Davis, Greening and Russet. 
Now and then a dealers has Spies, as some 
consumers Insist on having them so long 
as there are any to be h.ad. While most 
dealers will say that Spies are out of the 
market or too poor to sell, there are places 
where they may be had until July. But 
these sellers say that there is more profit 
in the Baldwin, as they get fewer high- 
priced Spies In a barrel, so many fair¬ 
sized ones having knots or spots that put 
tliem with the lower grades. We have 
tried the Colorado Gano. It is a very hand¬ 
some apple and an improvement in quality 
on Ben Davis, although a near relative In 
flavor. Some of our western readers have 
spoken of that peculiar Ben Davis flavor, 
which "grows on them" until they prefer 
that variety to any other. We And this 
special flavor agreeable for a change, and 
perhaps a compulsory diet of them for six 
months might give one the habit to an In¬ 
curable degree, though we still doubt the 
advisability either from the standpoint of 
grower or consumer, of pouring hailstorms 
of these apples into markets already well 
supplied with varieties more agreeable to 
the general public. 
QUOTATIONS.—The figures given on pre¬ 
ceding page from week to week are whole¬ 
sale, and represent a fair range of prices 
based on actual sales. There are sales at 
higher and lower prices than those given, 
but they represent such small quantities 
that It does not seem advisable to extend 
the range enough to include them. The 
word wholesale is an elastic and Indefinite 
one. It may mean no less than 10 or 20 
barrels of sugar, potatoes, etc., to one, 
while to the man who is selling by the 
pound or peck a single barrel is wholesale. 
With so many different meanings, and 
hence varying prices, connected with whole¬ 
sale deals, it Is not strange that many are 
at sea in this matter. An effort is made 
to avoid giving misleading quotations, yet 
this is frequently done, and we usually 
learn of it quickly from some one who sees 
the Inconsistency. In this way we are 
helped to prune or graft on to the quota¬ 
tions, adding to their general value. Those 
Interested in the quotations column are In¬ 
vited to make their wants knowm. Tell us 
what might be left out, what should be 
added, and whether such Items as butter, 
cheese, eggs, etc., could be condensed to 
half the present space, or less, and still be 
Of equal value to you. Of course in the 
space allotted to this department it is not 
possible to quote all that may be desired, 
but changes might be made that would 
cover the matter more satisfactorily.

“Such a thrilling adventure has happened 
to me," 
Said the fish, as he floundered about in the 
sea,

hook to-day. 
But I thought of my scales, and with them 
got a weigh!"

II siands Alone. 
Doctor Pierce’s Favorite Prescription 
stands alone, as the one and only remedy 
for leucorrhea, female weakness, pro¬ 
lapsus, or falling of the womb, so abso¬ 
lutely specific and sure in curing these 
common ailments of women, as to war¬ 
rant its makers in offering to pay, as 
they hereby do, the sum of I 500 reward 
for a case of the above maladies which 
they can not cure. This is a remarkable 
offer. No other medicine for the cure 
of woman’s peculiar ailments is backed 
by such a remarkable guarantee. No 
other medicine for woman’s ills is pos¬ 
sessed of the unparalleled curative pro¬ 
perties that would warrant its makers 
in publishing such an offer; no other rem¬ 
edy has such a record of a third of a 
century of cures on which to base such 
a remarkable offer. 
Miss Enuna Weller, who is Secretary of the 
Young People’s Christian A.ssociation, at i 8 ii 
Madison Avenue, New York City, says «Your 
‘ Favorite Pre.scription ’ is a boon to sick and 
tired women, for it cures them when other med¬ 
icines fail. I know whereof I speak, for I have 
had experience with it. For fourteen months I 
had constant headaches; seemed too weak to 
perform my daily duties, and when the day was 
over I was too tired to sleep well. 1 suffered 
from nervousne.ss and indigestion, and every¬ 
thing I ate distr..-ssed me. Doctored with differ¬ 
ent physicians hut received no relief. After 
reading one of your books I decided to give your 
‘Favorite Prescription’ a trial. Am very glad 
I did, for I found it was just what I wanted. I 
commenced to improve at once and kept getting 
better until, after seven weeks, I was entirely 
cured. I have remained in perfect health ever 
since, and remain a firm friend of your ‘ Favor¬ 
ite Prescription.’ ” 
The dealer who offers a substitute for 
”Favorite Prescription” is only seeking 
to make the little more profit afforded 
by a less meritorious medicine. His 
profit is your loss. Therefore, turn your 
back on him as unworthy of your pat¬ 
ronage. 
If constipated use Dr. Pierce’s Pleas¬ 
ant Pellets. They cure constipation, 
biliousness and .sick headache. They do 
not produce the "pill habit.”
