Ihe excitement in wheat trading countries, 
tmt all reliable reports indicate that the crop 
damage in (he Northwest has been generally 
exaggerated, and used by speculators to fur¬ 
ther their own ends. Live stock trade is im¬ 
proving, as the slaughter houses here are kill¬ 
ing nearly a normal output. Receipts of new 
hay are large, and the range of prices given 
is perhaps a trifle high for most transactions. 
All grades of mill feed are linn, with a ten¬ 
dency toward higher ligures.

MARKET NEWS 
Potatoes. —Receipts are too heavy for cur¬ 
rent demand, as a great many city consumers 
are still out of town. No potatoes are bring 
ing a cent a pound, and a good many go at a 
little over a dollar a barrel. The market for 
sweets is also weak. 
Apples.-— There is still a large surplus of 
under grade fruit, some of which lias to go 
at prices below quotations. Some years 
windfalls and seconds in early apples sell 
well, but as a rule if a grower gets even very 
modest pay for his labor in handling lie may 
be thankful. On the other hand, fair-sizea 
hand picked apples are doing very well. Alex¬ 
ander, Gravenstein, Oldenburg, Wealthy and 
Twenty Ounce go at $2 or over, and Blush, 
Codling, Nyack and Orange Pippin, $1.50 up 
Commercial 5 inkgajl- —-Are the common 
hydrometers for acids, etc., the kind used by 
the State inspectors for testing vinegar? 
IN hat are their methods of determining the 
Purity and strenglh and the New York legal 
standard for vinegar? m t w 
New York. 
The New York State law requires that all 
vinegar offered for sale shall contain at least 
4% per cent acetic acid, and all cider vinegar 
must contain at least two per cent cider vin¬ 
egar solids. Prosecutions for (he sale ot 
adulterated vinegar are made only after ehem- 
ical analysis. Preliminary tests, which are 
reasonably accurate, are made with two in 
struments. That for acids with Mott's ace- 
tometer. a simple affair which anyone can use 
by following directions. The per cent of 
solids is determined by a form of hydrometer 
called a solidometer, gauged for this special 
purpose. It is a tube loaded with mercury. 
NVhen set endways in the vinegar the point 
to which it sinks shows the percentage of 
scuds. A clause for the protection of the 
farmer has been added to the vinegar law to 
the effect that cider vinegar -made by a farmer 
in the State, from apples grown on his own 
land, or their equivalent in cider taken in 
exchange shall not lie deemed adulterated if 
it contains two per cent solids and sufficient 
alcohol to develop the required amount of 
acetic acid. It is hard to see how this sim. 
plifies matters for the farmer, for no one but 
a chemist could tell whether the alcohol was 
sufficient to develop the required acetic acid. 
As a rule cider vinegar, honestly made from 
fairly good apples, will meet the’standard. 
For the land’s sake, use Bowker’s Fer¬ 
tilizers. They enrich the earth.— Adv.
