MARKET NOTES 
j^qqS.—A good many hens are moulting, 
the effect being seen In scanty arrivals of 
fresh-gathered eggs. The present stiff mar¬ 
ket is favorable for refrigerator eggs, 
which are working out well. 
butter is slowly crawling up in price. 
Consumptive demand is increasing with 
the return of many who spend the Summer 
out of town. The proportion of desirable 
grades is larger than is sometimes seen, 
many high-scoring lots being reported. 
Export trade is dull. 
muscular LIFTERS.-A large and 
elaborate system of electric hoists is to be 
Installed at the Hamburg-American docks, 
Hoboken, N. J. There will be 24 machines, 
each operated by a 50 horse-power motor 
and capable of handling 8,000 pounds, or 
about 1,200 horse power for the entire 
plant. The lifters are easily handled, and 
will unload and discharge cargoes in short 
order. 
HANDY CRATE BASKET.—At Fig. 
203 is shown a one-half section of the ordi¬ 
nary square plum or grape basket. This 
Is not a new package, but some may not 
be familiar with its construction. The ma¬ 
terial is wood, about one twenty-fourth 
inch thick. The dotted lines A B show 
where the splint is folded to form the ends, 
the part between the dotted lines being the 
bottom. Another splint of exactly the same 
size crosses this one between the lines A 
B, forming a double bottom. The ends of 
these splints when bent up at the line form 
the four sides, around the top of which a

piece of heavy tin one-half inch wide is 
pinched tightly. This is the only fastening, 
and it makes the basket so firm that one 
seldom goes to pieces. The length of these 
splints is 14 Inches, inches between the 
dotted lines, C D and E F, each seven 
inches. The slots S M K H are inch 
wide. This makes a package 6V^ Inches 
square at the bottom and eight at top, 
holding not far from three quarts. Four 
of these baskets come in a square, one-tier 
crate, and tons of western grapes and 
plums arrive at New York in these pack¬ 
ages every year. 
apples.—T he storm of last week was a 
lightning apple picker, hundreds of bushels 
lying under the trees when it was over. Tt 
was quite natural that these should be 
picked up and hurried to market. They 
came from all directions, until receivers 
scarcely knew what to do with them, and 
prices for grades showing considerable 
damage went below cost of shipment. At 
such a time there is little use in trying to 
market badly-bruised apples, except in 
nearby towns, where they can be used 
within a day or two after dropping. This 
rush of damaged fruit will soon be over, 
and in a week or two New York will be 
apple hungry again. There is no surplus 
now of picked fruit grading anywhere near 
choice, as may be seen by the prices paid 
for such The chief reason for the scarcity 
of better apples here at present seems to 
be that a good many growers and buyers 
have not yet come to any agreement on 
price for choice apples. Those who have 
fruit of this type appear in no hurry to 
sell, and buyers are more cautious than 
last year. It is Interesting to note the 
effects of a twisting storm of this sort on 
different types of orchards. We saw some 
trees in a stony cornfield, where not one- 
fourth of the fruit that dipped was worth 
picking up to sell. Some of the apples were 
ground up about as thoroughly as though 
run through a cider mill. The trees are 
headed high enough to accommodate any¬ 
one who wishes to drive under them with 
a hay rigging. Part of the fruit fell 30 feet 
or more. One tree badly infested with San 
Jos6 scale had all the apples removed, 
while another of the same variety, unin- 
fested with scale, held half its crop.

THE RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
AMERICAN INSTITUTE FAIR. 
The American Institute of the city of 
New York held its seventy-second annual 
Autumn flower and fruit show September 
22-24 at the Berkeley Lyceum. 19-21 vYest 
Forty-fourth St. The attendance was 
noticeably good throughout, and the show, 
as a whole, very satisfactory considering 
that manv localities counted on to send in 
exhibits had just been devastated oy a 
destructive gale. Pears, apples and grapes 
w'ere beautifully shown in great variety. 
New York growers had the best of the 
tree fruits, while New Jersey captured the 
prizes for fine grapes, among which sev¬ 
eral of Munson’s hybrids, such as Brilliant, 
Big Hope and Wapanuka could be noticed. 
Pears were large and fine as a rule, and in 
greater variety than for the past two years 
Most of the apples exhibited were well se¬ 
lected and of good color for the season. 
A few erroneous labels could be detected. 
There were few peaches. Chair’s Choice 
and Late Rose were in better form than 
other varieties. There were few plums, 
and the usual assortment of edible nuts 
was missing. The exhibit of vegetables and 
grains was large and interesting, many 
highly finished specimens being shown. 
The handsomest tomatoes were of the 
Matchless variety now under cultivation 
nearly 15 years. Some monstrous peppers 
of new variety to be introduced next year 
under the name of Magnum Dulce attract¬ 
ed great attention. The dominant note of 
Ihe floral exhibit was an immense show 
of flame flower, Tritoma Pfitzeri, lighting 
the hall like an assemblage of vegetable 
torches. They came from a Long Island 
grower. Dahlias were shown by the thou¬ 
sand in every class of this popular flower. 
Most of the collections came from New 
England and other districts out of the 
range of the storm. There were many fine 
Gladioli and other late blooms, including a 
large and correctly labeled collection of 
herbaceous and wild flowering plants. Or¬ 
chids and foliage plants were shown in 
great perfection and large quality. 
The new Collarette Dahlia was shown in 
fair condition. The first prize was awarded 
to the Show Dahlia, A. E. Johnson, a very 
large and perfect flower, full and symmet¬ 
rical, bright soft rose in color. w. v. f. 
The apple crop in this locality is a very 
good one, every orchard I have seen having 
a full crop or nearly so, while the quality, 
so far has been far above the average, 
there being fewer crooked or wormy speci¬ 
mens than I have seen for a number of 
years. Almost the entire crop from this 
section is hauled in wagons to Allegheny 
and Pittsburg, and sold on the streets by 
the farmers. Buyers never come here to 
buy in the orchard, nor are there any 
shipped that I know of, so cannot say what 
price prevails for large quantities, but I 
am told that $1 can be obtained for good 
apples sold by the bushel. o. J. w. 
Sewickley, Pa. 
This is not much of a place for com¬ 
mercial orchards, although almost every 
farmer raises some fruit for fanilly use. 
Apples are about 50 per cent of a full crop 
or would average about from 50 to 75 per 
cent Including Summer and Fall varieHes. 
We have been retailing Summer and Fall 
apples at Pittsburg, 25 miles distant, at 
from 60 to 76 cents per bushel; looks as If 
Winter varieties will be a good price. 
Peaches are a failure; pears very scarce; 
plums also a failure, with perhaps a f®^ 
varieties in favored localities. We had 
frost here September 19, but it did not do 
much damage. Thrashing and seeding are 
in order here; grain not turning out well. 
Corn will not be an average crop; potatoes 
full crop.

to improve. My case seemed to be almost a
