Boston Prices. 
liens, alive, bring 13 to 15 cents a 
pound ; dressed, 14 to 18 cents, wholesale. 
Prices on chickens vary according to trade. 
Ilogs sell at about seven cents, live 
weight. Fresh eggs sell locally and in Bos¬ 
ton as high as 38 to 40 cents; other grades 
down to 25 cents per dozen. 
Milch cows bring from $50 to $100 each, 
according to quality; beef cows, from $30 to 
$00, according to size and condition ; young 
calves from $2.50 to $5 when a few days 
old. 
Butter wholesales at 26 to 2S cents per 
pound ; retails from 30 to 35 cents locally 
and in the city, although renovated and 
sold as creamery sells as low as 25 cents in 
some stores. Cheese wholesales at 11 to 14 
cents; retails from 15 to 18 cents at most 
stores. 
Native pears are short crop in many sec¬ 
tions. Clapp’s Favorite are selling at about 
$2 per bushel. Apples are not too plenty 
and selling at fair prices. Early Williams 
sell at about $1 per bushel. This is about 
the price of other varieties also, although 
they vary some, according to quality. 
Corn is up and down, with not a heavy 
supply as yet. and brings from 50 cents to 
$1 a box. Cabbage short and sells at $1.75 
to $2.25 a barrel. String beans go at $1.50 
and better per box; bunch beets short and 
sell at four to five cents per bunch, whole¬ 
sale ; the usual price at this time of year is 
two or two and one-half cents. Tomatoes - 
not in heavy supply as yet and sell at about 
$3 a box. Potatoes bring $3.25 to $3.75 
per barrel; not many of these are raised by 
local gardeners, but are brought in from 
Maine, Canada, New York and other places 
in their respective seasons. 
Late corn doing fine, pastures good ; many 
are working roads. Considerable wheat wiil 
be sown. Melon crops good. Plenty of rain. 
Oats, 34 cents; potatoes, $2; wheat, $1; 
corn, 60 cents; Timothy seed, $5.50 per 
bushel. Hay crop short. Early corn failed 
to ear. Many improvements being made on 
the fsTrms. Irish potato crop nearly a fail¬ 
ure. Plums, peaches, grapes and apples 
good crop. Weather cool. w. r. s. 
Brashcar, Mo. 
The drought here has at last been broken, 
and while the rain came almost too late to 
save the corn, it will help pastures, fruit 
and gardens. This section had a tremendous 
apple crop last year, and there are a few 
folks who will have considerable fruit this 
year. I have heard of one large orchard 
near Fishersville that has an estimated 
crop of 4,000 barrels. Some of the orchards 
about Waynesboro will also have good crops. 
Fishersville, Va. g. e. p. 
The weather conditions in Lawrence 
County, Ohio, are sad to relate. We had 
only .64 of an inch of rain in Mav, 2.33 in 
.Tune, 2.53 in July, and .47 in the first 11 
days of August, making 6.02 inches in all, 
and it came in showers which soon dried 
up. The heat has been intense and con¬ 
siderable breeze lias caused things to be¬ 
come dry. Trees are dying and fruit is 
wilting in most all orchards, especially on 
our hills. Potatoes are complete failures, 
and many patches of early ones will not be 
dug, as nothing set on the vines, although 
they made good tops. Hay was the poor¬ 
est ever known here. Corn is poor, too, 
and much of it will never make an ear; 
it is firing now, and some is being cut to 
save the fodder, as feed is scarce and no 
money hardly to buy with. Last year 
fruit and vegetables went to market in 
abundance from almost every farm, and 
now there is hardly even a decent load 
taken from any farm. One man on the 
road where he can see all the wagons going 
to market says there is not one wagon 
this year where there were 20 last year, 
and those that do go have just a littie to 
sell compared to a big load last year. Pas¬ 
tures are as bare as a paved street where 
plenty of stock has been kept, and peoDlo 
are wanting to sell their stock and can get 
only very low prices. It has been so dry 
that very little grass and weeds have 
grown in the orchards for mulch so we are 
up against it. u. t. cox.

PRODUCTS, PRICES AND TRADE. 
Hops.—O wing to the doubtful crop out¬ 
look in New York State, some very high 
prices are being made for the new crop, 
in one case 50 cents per pound is reported. 
Many hop yards have a serious attack of 
blue mold. 
Apples. —The market is overloaded with 
windfalls and undergrades, selling from 20 
to 30 cents per bushel. Picked fruit runs 
from $1 to $2 per barrel, but this week's 
receipts have had very few that brought 
the latter price. Of course this is no indi¬ 
cation of what Winter apples will bring, 
or of the choice Fall varieties for that mat¬ 
ter, because there are so few of that grade 
now in the market. 
For nearly two months, 13 prominent 
New Y'ork live poultry dealers have boon 
on trial for. conspiracy in restraint of trade. 
They have now been found guilty and a 
fine of $500 and imprisonment for three 
months imposed on each. Indictments have 
been found against more than 50 other live 
poultry dealers and slaughterers on the 
ground that there is a general conspiracy 
to raise the consumptive price of live 
poultry slaughtered for the Jewish trade 
in the special manner prescribed by their 
religion. 
The Package Laws.—W hat are the New 
York City authorities doing about enforce¬ 
ment of the short package laws? 
Several have asked this question, and 
doubtless others wish to know. The weights 
and measures officers are studying the mat¬ 
ter. and say that the law wiil be enforced 
thoroughly, but there are differences of 
opinion regarding their authority and what 
interpretation shall be put on some parts 
of the statute. Like most laws, it needs a 
series of court rulings to straighten out the 
inconsistencies and find just what it means. 
The provisions which are supposed to pro¬ 
tect those who buy fruits or vegetables 
from the commission men are farcical. 
Those dealers not'd no protection. As soon 
as they see an alleged barrel, quart, etc., 
they know whether it is full size or scant, 
and. if the latter, they buy it on that 
basis. They are as well able to take care 
of themselves as the commission man. A 
favorite method of spotters who are trying 
to get evidence against produce dealers is 
to ask : “How much a quart for those ber¬ 
ries ?” 
The produce dealer, awake to the mean¬ 
ing of the question, says: “They are not 
quarts. They’re large pints.’’ Likewise, 
sacks of potatoes that, owing to shrinkage, 
may weigh 150 pounds, he marks 140, to 
make himself safe with inspectors, yet the 
man who buys them will pay for the full 
amount. Both the buyers and sellers share 
the opinion of “Mr. Bumble,” in Oliver 
Twist, regarding some of the laws for regu¬ 
lating their business made by people with 
no knowledge of its practical workings. 
But this is no defence of the scant package, 
which ought not to exist. Quart berry 
boxes ought to he quarts, and apple and 
potato barrels ought to be barrels, by Fed¬ 
eral law. This would make a feeling of 
confidence in packages that is good for 
business. Producers have it in their power 
to drive scant packages out of the trade by 
’insisting on using nothing but standards, 
both for local and shipping trade. Any 
commission man who advises a shipper to 
use short quarts or barrels on the ground 
that he will get just as much for them as 
full size'is a good man to keep away from. 
ITe may doctor his returns so as to show 
that the short quarts sent him brought as 
much as a neighbor’s full quarts sent an¬ 
other commission man. but there is a 
“joker” in all such statements. An honest 
commission man who knows his business 
will get a better price for full quarts than 
for scants, and wiil see that the shipper 
gets his full return. 
The city authorities are, however, doing 
effective work in a field where protection of 
buyers is greatly needed, the retail stores. 
Here is where most of the cheating is done, 
and all scales and measures ought to be 
closely looked after. One or two dishonest 
retailers, by giving short measure or weight 
and cutting prices, can make it difficult for 
honest men to do business in that neighbor¬ 
hood. Some who weigh or measure their 
purchases will detect such mistakes (?), 
but the majority do not. w. w. h. 
When you write advertisers mention The 
R. N.-Y". and you'll get a quick reply and a 
“square deal.” See guarantee editorial page.
