MARKET 
N E 
w s 
Hops. —Business on the Pacific coast Is 
reported fair, exporters having handled 8.000 
bales recently at about 26 cents and 1,000 at 
30 or a trifle over. In New York State the 
market is firm and holders not anxious to sell 
for less than 32 to 35 cents, according to 
grade. 
Selling Addresses.—“I understand that 
there are concerns which pay cash for lists of 
names and addresses. Would you advise deal¬ 
ing with them?” G. 
New York. 
Some of these firms may be all right, but 
as a rule the names are resold to auyone who 
will pay for them, regardless of the purpose 
which they are used. Hence they may fall 
into the hands of dealers who will flood homes 
with all sorts of objectionable literature. 
Chestnuts.—T he heavy winds of last week 
thrashed the trees so thoroughly that this 
market has had more lhau it could handle, 
even at $3 per bushel. Tbere is no probabil¬ 
ity that this condition will continue very 
long, and those who have held back their 
crops will be likely to get better prices. Good 
wild chestnuts should never sell for less than 
$5 per bushel here, and probably would not 
if it were not for the floods that arrive after 
heavy winds. 
Apples.— Receipts are heavy for present 
needs. As many Fall varieties are inferior 
except for cooking a large number of raw 
apple consumers do not take hold well until 
Winter sorts are (it for use. Such varieties 
as Alexander, Twenty Ounce, Oldenburg and 
ltibston Pippin are disappointing and one 
needs to be very fond of apples to take more 
than one bite of any of these. Two kinds 
fully equal to any in the Winter line are Fall 
l’inpin and Gravenstein. But the Fall Pippin 
looks too much like green apples, and Graven¬ 
stein has a habit of being rusty red and yel¬ 
low, so that neither kind makes new friend3 
readily. 
Eggs.—L arge numbers of hens are now 
moulting, and hence receipts of strictly fresh 
eggs are light. Thirty cents wholesale is the 
top for this grade at present. Arrivals of 
lower grades are very heavy. Very few west¬ 
ern are going above 20 cents, and the market 
on cold storage is still worse, the best marks 
of the April pack working out at 19 cents and 
others as low as 16. Some of these stored 
eggs were not good enough to hold. Now and 
then a man acts as though he> thought cold 
storage was a place to renovate eggs, and that 
somehow they will come out of an icehouse 
in better condition than they went in, but 
tne storage of any other than first-class eggs 
is doubtful business unless they are bought 
very low. w. w. h. 
Western Canada’s 
Magnificent Crops 
For 1904 
Western Canada’s wheat crop this 
year will be 60,000,000 bushels, and 
wheat at present is worth 81 a bushel.

yield abundantly. 
Splendid prices for all kinds of 
grain, cattle and other farm produce
