Boston. 
The large supply of general produce 
brought in to Boston, Mass., this week 
(August 18) tends to a general depression 
of prices on most things. Apples in large 
supply and not of host quality bring 56 
cents to $1 per bushel box; fancy bring as 
high as $1.50 and $1.75 in a few cases. 
Pears in a bad slump. Clapp and early 
Bartletts sell slow at 60 and 75 cents per 
bushel box, some few bring $1. Plums in 
good supply at about $1.50 a bushel. 
Peaches fairly plenty and sell $1 to $1.50 
per basket. Cabbage and tomatoes sell 
well at $1.25 and $1.50 per barrel for the 
former and about $2 for the latter. Shell 
beans are as high as $2 per bushel. Green 
string and wax beans are a drug, being 
in large supply and sell hard at 40 or 50 
cents a box. Beets and cucumbers sell at 
50 cents a box; the latter are plentiful 
just at this time. Corn is in large supply, 
hut brings 40 to 75 cents a box. Squash is 
coming in from the South in large quan¬ 
tities and as native is coming in also the 
price of 40 to 75 cents a barrel and $8 
to $12 a ton is not very encouraging as 
to filling the grower’s pocket very much ; 
in the Southern grower’s case the trans¬ 
portation companies will receive about the 
whole of it. Potatoes are coming in more 
freely and sell at $1 a bushel at the car; 
these are mostly from Maine and are good 
in quality. Sweet potatoes bring $4 per 
barrel. Eggs are about the same, 32 to 
38 cents for fresh down to 25 cents for 
storage. Meats of all kinds are stiff and 
firm. Beef is three or four cents higher 
wholesale than last week. Veal goes at 14 
to 15 cents wholesale for large ones. Whole 
dressed hogs sell at 9% cents for best, 
liens sell live weight 15 to 16 cents per 
pound ; chickens from 22 to 28 cents, and 
some even better. A. E. P.

PRODUCTS, PRICES AND TRADE. 
The first bale of this year’s sea island 
cotton was sold at Savannah, Ga., August 
16, for 27 cents per pound. 
Unseasonably cool weather has caused i 
much anxiety to wheat growers in the 
Canadian Northwest. The mercury dropped 
to 32 in parts of Saskatchewan, but thus 
far little damage to wheat has been re¬ 
ported. 
At their recent convention at Detroit, 
the Apple Shippers’ Association gave their 
crop estimate as 30 per cent above last 
year. The Apple Growers’ Congress at St. 
Louis, August 22, reported the best crop 
since 1906. 
Brazil has a large amount of land suit¬ 
able for cotton culture, but thus far the 
business has been on a rather crude basis. 
Agents of the Brazilian government are in 
this country studying improved methods of 
culture, with the idea of increasing the 
acreage in Brazil. 
The amended Now York State game laws 
provide that "the dead bodies of wild hares, 
squirrels of all species, wild deer, elk, 
moose and caribou of all species shall not 
be sold, offered for sale or possessed for 
sale for food purposes within this State, 
whether they shall have been killed within 
or without the State; but it does allow the 
game dealers who now have game in stor¬ 
age under bond to sell their game during 
tiie open season after it is properly tagged. 
This tagging is to lie done under the su¬ 
pervision of the fish and game division of 
the conservation commission.” 
The New York Stat" Health Department, 
in charge of the new cold storage law, has 
been inspecting plants in various parts of 
the State. They report unsanitary condi¬ 
tions, in some cases so bad that prosecu¬ 
tions will result. This law provides that 
the quantity of various foods in storage 
shall be made public, and it is to be hoped 
that full advantage will be taken of this, 
not in a sensational way or with an ap¬ 
parent desire to show up the cold storage 
men as perverters of the public good, but 
because public reports will largely do away 
with a certain type of useless and truly 
pernicious speculative business in food. By 
giving to the public correct and definite 
statements of quantity and condition of 
food found in storage the Health Depart¬ 
ment will accomplish what it does not have 
sufficient police force to do otherwise. The 
exact temperature at which butter should 
bo kept is a matter of opinion. Some think 
zero is correct, and others believe that less 
loss in flavor and texture results from a 
temperature but little under freezing. It is 
well known that f/ood butter can be kept 
in first class condition packed in stone jars 
in an ordinary farm cellar for a full year, 
so that the statement about butter spoiling 
in storage when kept higher than zero is 
nonsense. Such butter was bad when put in 
or has been subjected to foul odors while 
there. w. w. H.
