MARKETS. 
REVIEW AMD OUTLOOK 
THE EGG MARKET is clearing up in 
fair shape. Receipts show slight decrease 
from last week. The proportion of strict¬ 
ly prime is small. But few go above 14% 
cents, and the bulk is handled at 12 cents 
or under. 
BUTTER.—There is no change in price 
since last report. The receipts are heavy, 
but speculative demand on creamery is 
active. Exporters are practically out of 
the market at present prices. The call for 
State dairy is limited. Imitation creamery 
and factory sell slowly. Fancy June stock 
is firmly held. 
POULTRY.—The demand for live fowls 
and old roosters is good. The market for 
Spring chickens is weak. Turkeys, ducks 
and geese are neglected. In live poultry 
the greatest call is for large western chick¬ 
ens, which are scarce, and occasionally 
going above quotations. Western ducks 
show poor quality. 
GRAIN.—Wheat is lower. The Govern¬ 
ment crop estimates seem to have settled 
on about 500,000,000 bushels, 320,000,000 Win¬ 
ter and 180,000,000 Spring. The drought in 
the Northwest accounts for the shortage 
in Spring wheat. The Minneapolis mills 
have resumed grinding, thus causing an 
increased local demand in that section, 
with a slight rise in price. Corn dropped 
on favorable crop reports and the decline 
in wheat. The Government report shows 
an increase of 1,200,000 acres over last year, 
with a probable yield of 2,240,770,000 bushels, 
nearly as much as the record-breaking 
crop of four years ago. The oat market 
is weak. The recent rains, which were too 
late to save the wheat, have greatly helped 
the oat crop in the Northwest. The yield 
is estimated at 801,012,000 bushels. Rye 
and barley are dull.

THE LONG ISLAND POTATO CROP. 
It is not very promising. It is rather 
early in the season to form any opinion as 
to what the crop will be, or when it will 
come on the market. The Carman No. 3 
and R. N.-Y. No. 2 are most largely plant¬ 
ed, and seem to give the best satisfaction. 
E. Setauket. j. v. b . 
As a whole, the outlook for a good crop 
of potatoes is very poor. First, the bugs 
were very bad, and then the blight came, 
and some pieces are entirely gone. A 
good many of the vines rot just below the 
ground, while others have their leaves 
turned brown. Recent rains helped the 
crop a little, as some of the Rural No. 2 
are sending out a new set of leaves. Al¬ 
though the acreage is larger this year, I 
don’t believe that the crop will be heavier 
than last. I looked at one piece recently 
and I think 15 barrels an acre would cover 
the yield. The crop will be fit to dig 
earlier. Green Mountain is first choice, 
with No. 2 as late; Delaware and Carman 
No. 3 are also grown. w. e. w. 
Westbury. 
The early potatoes will not be more than 
one-half a crop on account of drought. I 
think the late ones will do better, provided 
we have sufficient rain. As to varieties, 
the Dewey seems to be the favorite. I 
think the crop will be harvested later than 
last season and will not be as large as last 
year, although rains might save the late 
ones. e. o.w. 
Speonk. 
The potato crop is not encouraging, and 
does not at present promise more than a 
two-thirds crop; that is, through the mid¬ 
dle section of the Island. The western 
and eastern ends of the Island have had 
more rain than we have had. The varie¬ 
ties that seems to do well in this section 
are the Rural New Yorker, Green Moun¬ 
tain, Late Rose and Carman No. 3. The 
early varieties, especially Michigan Queen, 
are ripening now. We have been digging 
since July 1. The late varieties, I think, 
will be later than last year. w. j. s. 
Central Islip. 
There is not a very large section of this 
district devoted to potato growing. There 
was a time when the Bridgeport market 
took a large number of potatoes, and a 
large number of farmers went into pota¬ 
toes. I think the crop will be only fair. 
It has suffered for rain. The heavy recent 
rain (1.14 inch) wiil probably help the 
later varieties. The Rose and Hebron are 
grown for early crop, and the White Ele¬ 
phant and Green Mountain for late. I 
think the crop will mature about the usual 
time. Peaches on this section of the Island 
will be very scarce. s. B. s. 
Setauket. 
The acreage devoted to cabbage is very 
much larger than ever before, but farmers 
are somewhat discouraged by the low 
prices which now prevail for early varie¬ 
ties. Later varieties are looking well and 
promise to be a good crop. Early potatoes 
are killed by the blight, and will not aver¬ 
age half a crop. In many cases they will 
have to be dug while no larger than wal¬ 
nuts. Corn never looked better. Peas 
have been virtually destroyed by the louse, 
and in many cases the crop was plowed up 
before matured. Rye has been harvested 
in fine condition, and oats are looking very 
well. The hay crop has been about half 
that of the average, but what it lacked in 
quantity it has made up in quality. It was 
never better. J. h. g.

“It Sows Just So,” is the claim made for 
the improved low down Pennsylvania 
force feed fertilizer and grain drill. That 
is certainly the way every farmer wants 
his wheat and fertilizer sown this Fall. 
This drill is made by the well-known A. 
B. Farquhar Co., Ltd., York, Pa. Illus¬ 
trated catalogue for the asking. This firm 
also makes complete thrashing outfits, en¬ 
gines, saw-mills and agricultural imple¬ 
ments generally. 
The Osgood scales are accepted every¬ 
where as standard. The manufacturers 
claim that their scales are not affected by 
the weather, weighing with equal accuracy 
in Winter and Summer. Another good 
point is that these scales will weigh cor¬ 
rectly even when out of true level, and it 
is claimed to be the only scale that will 
do this. The Osgood Scale Co., 103 Central 
St., Binghamton, N. Y., are the manufac¬ 
turers. They wish to send them out on 
30-days’ trial. We like this plan; it shows 
the confidence of the manufacturers in 
their goods.
