MILK AND CREAM. 
The total daily supply has been 22,772 cans of milk, 
219 cans of condensed milk and 989 cans of cream. 
The average price paid for the surplus on the plat¬ 
forms has been $1.12 a can of 40 quarts. 
CROP AND MARKET NOTES. 
Receipts of hay are moderate. 
Butter is lower and receipts large. 
Beeswax is 26 to 28 cents per pound for pure. 
Hops have gone still lower than previous low 
prices. 
Stocks of honey are small, but there is little 
demand. 
The first shipment of butter in boxes was re¬ 
cently made to England.

in good demand and only moderate supply. 
And now a cattle exclusion bill is reported 
passed by the English House of Lords, which in¬ 
cludes Canadian cattle as well as those from the 
United States. 
Although the Pilled Cheese law does not go into 
effect until September, the market for full cream 
cheese is already beginning to feel the effects of 
the restriction. 
The French are taking stringent measures to 
regulate the trade in butter substitutes. It is said 
that the French were the first inventors of this 
vile compound, and now, after it has nearly 
ruined the dairy industry of many countries, they 
are trying to kill their own offspring. They pur¬ 
pose to do it by prohibiting its sale in any place 
where butter is sold. Each must have its own 
shop. 
Dr. Peter Collier, Director of the New York Ex 
periment Station, at Geneva, from October, 1887 
to October, 1895, died at Ann Arbor, Mich., June 
29, after a long illness. He was a native of New 
York State, and a graduate of Yale College. His 
first important position was that of Professor of 
Agriculture in the University of Vermont, and lie 
became the first secretary of the Board of Agri¬ 
culture of that State. He was afterward chemist 
of the United States Department of Agriculture, 
aud here he, probably, did the most important 
work of his life in the study of sorghum as a 
source of sugar supply.
