PRODUCTS , PRICES AND TRADE. 
Strawberries are very plentiful, really 
good ones retailing at two quarts for 25 
cents. 
I’eachbs, prunes, pears and apricots on the 
I'acilic coast indicate about two-thirds of 
last year’s crop. 
The record price for Wyoming wool was 
paid recently, when 300,000 pounds were sold 
at 22 to 23 cents. This makes the scoured 
wool cost 70 cents. 
The gold standard went into effect in Mex¬ 
ico May 1. The change from the silver basis 
did not create any business disturbance, as 
regulations prepared some time before cov¬ 
ered the new conditions. 
Tim cheese market at Utica and Little 
Falls, N. Y., opened May 1 with sales of 
about 2,600 boxes, most of which brought 
12% to 12% cents. Most of the factories in 
that, section are said to be in operation. 
Potatoes continue very low, much old 
stock selling under $1 per barrel. The ar¬ 
rivals of new have been heavy enough to 
cause a decline of 50 cents to $1 per barrel. 
Top prico for Florida No. 1, Rose, is $4.25 
at present, but $3.50 covers many sales. 
Butter has dropped four cents since last 
report. The recent declines have stimulated 
trade, especially out of town orders. Un¬ 
duly cool weather in the producing sections 
has shortened the Spring crop, but reports 
are that the make will soon show a mate¬ 
rial increase, so possibly we have seen the 
last of 30-cent: butter for the present. 
Fresh Eggs Agai.v. —“Will you give me 
the names of egg dealers and commission men 
who can handle fancy eggs? Our eggs are 
strictly fresh, shipping a case every other 
day. I have found - very reliable, 
always getting quotations and sometimes two 
to four cents above, but it is natural to be 
always looking for something better.” 
New York. c. b. 
This is a case where the old saying about 
letting “well enough alone” would seem to 
apply. The dealer named is a tirst-class man, 
having the reputation in the trade of being 
a well informed egg man, square and honest. 
Several readers have voluntarily written to 
us that their dealings with him have been 
entirely satisfactory. As the inquirer wishes 
to experiment, several names of dealers have 
been given him, but I doubt whether any bet¬ 
ter returns will be had. h.
