PRODUCTS , PRICES AND TRADE. 
Butter has dropped one cent since last re¬ 
port, owing to heavy receipts. 
Selling Old Fowls. —“Where can old 
fowls he sold in considerable quantities dur¬ 
ing August and September? I am wonder¬ 
ing what one could do with several hundred 
at that season." w. g. 
Connecticut. 
As the inquirer Is qutte near New York, 
the most convenient way to get rid of the 
old fowls In late Summer will be to ship 
them alive. The names of dealers who will 
handle poultry in this way will be given to 
those interested. The Jewish population use 
live poultry all the year, so that there is a 
continued trade in it. though greatest at 
the Spring and Fall Jewish holidays. Before 
making shipment one should consult the 
dealers and act on their advice. Of course 
the fowls could be dressed if desired and 
sold through the regular poultry trade, but 
for warm weather shipment the packages 
must be Iced, which adds considerably to the 
labor. 
An Eye Cure.' —A reader asks regarding 
the merits of an eye rejuvenator made by a 
concern in this city. The writer called at 
the place and “tried on" the machine. It is 
a very simple affair, and one can hardly see 
how it could materially injure a sound eye 
or help a sick one. There may be forms of 
disorder where the peculiar manipulations of 
this machine would be beneficial, but it is 
risky to experiment with the eye. For the 
price charged for this contrivance one can 
consult an oculist who knows his business, 
with much more certanity of getting value 
received. 
Dressed Meats.— The weather has been 
very unfavorable for all kinds of dressed 
meats and poultry. Choice lambs that would 
have sold for 30 cents per pound wholesale 
arrived here so badiy soured that they were 
not fit to use. Some ot these might have 
been saved if the? had been opened clear 
down to the neck, but a lamb never lcJss 
so well dressed In that way, and, of course, 
lbe shippers did not look for such a long 
spell of Summer in January The conditions 
with dressed calves have beea even worse. 
Berry Packages.— \ Michigan reader asks 
what sort of berry i acUage shippers supply 
iug the New* York market use, and as to the 
advisability of making Derry crat s of planed 
lumber, strongly built and nainted. Probably 
there is no market in the country where 
a greater variety >f fruit packages may be 
seen than here. For berries more 32-quart 
crates are seen than any other kind. They 
are the standard kind kept by all dealers in 
packages, and wear very well. People who 
use such creates seldom get back the same 
ones that they send. It is the same with 
the tomato boxes in which much of the 
North Jersey crop Is marketed. The grower 
gets back the same number that he delivers, 
and is satisfied with that. Many berry 
growers in the Hudson River section have 
returnable packages, well made and painted 
with their names stenciled on in large letters, 
but some of these get strayed away and the 
tendency is more and more toward a cheaper, 
or even gift package, except in cases where 
the fruit is retailed by the man to whom 
shipped, and who can ship back as soon 
as empty without having to look It up. This 
returnable package business is something 
that must be decided according to the market 
where shipped and the facilities for having 
empties transported at a moderate cost. 
Eggs have apparently struck bottom for 
the present The receipts are large but the 
marker seems able to dispose of them without 
being over-burdened. Holders of refrigerator 
eggs are feeling very panicky and are dispos¬ 
ing of their stock at every offer that will 
come near letting them out whole. AJore 
conservative buying may he expected next 
Spring. Far too many medium or under 
grade eggs were put away last year. Every¬ 
one knows such eggs will not rejuvenate 
themselves in cold storage yet the risk is 
taken in the hope* that there will be some 
time during the Winter when these under 
grades can be disposed of to adva.Aa.~e. This 
time has not arrived this season and there is 
no sign of it. H.

Dear sir: The undersigned fruit jobbers,

been and are of inestimable value to the 
general industry of the state, desire that you 
accept the inclosed order on Buffum & Pen¬ 
dleton for the best hat in (heir house as 
a mark of their appreciation.” 
Care of Pullets. —I have my pullets 
raised with the old mother hen to get them 
stronger and hardier. There is not much 
loss in brooder-raised hens; they will do 
all right for one year. T want my pullets 
to run at large and sleep on the tree until 
about November, then house them well and 
start them to laying, and they will keep ri^ht 
at it all Winter. Those I want for breeding 
I do not allow to lay before about February 
if I can help it (I mostly can). I alwavs 
get a stronger chick. Feed and care rules 
the whole thing. jos. anthony.
