BOSTON MARKETS. 
Beef is firm, good steer beef bringing 12 
cents dressed per pound; other grades, 
10 cents, whole or in cuts. Lamb is 
11 cents per pound for good; veal, 
1>1 cents. The demand Is good on 
these meats. Ilogs are a little slow 
at eight to 8% cents per pound dressed. 
I o til try is in good demand at 14 cents live 
weight for fowl and chickens. Dressed 
fowls bring 18 cents a pound; dressed 
chickens, 20 to 22 cents a pound; ducks, 
lo to 17 cents; turkeys, 20 to 25 cents for 
good quality birds. Eggs are in fair sup¬ 
ply, but strictly fancy fresh are in good 
demand at 38 to 42 cents a dozen ; fresh 
western bring 33 and storage about 25 
cents a dozen. Rutter is easy with a fair 
supply on hand; from 30 to 33 cents a 
pound by the tub; other grades from 27 
to 30 cents. Cheese, about 14 to 16 for 
cream; skim, 10 to 12 cents. 
Produce in Boston market Is fairly 
tive at present time, and sales for 
most part are satisfactory. Squash

not enoitgh demand to secure reasonable 
prices, selling as low as 50 cents a barrel 
in many eases. Cabbage sell very well, as 
late varieties are not heading very well 
and thus the supply Is not overlarge as 
yet. Potatoes are going better, the re¬ 
ceipts from Maine being not too heavy, as 
growers are reported to be holding for 
higher prices to some extent. The local 
crop is a failure in many cases, although 
a few people claim a good, fair yield. 
Massachusetts is not a potato State by any 
means, and does not raise one-quarter 
enough even to supply her own people. 
Boston price is about 85 cents per bushel, 
8l.fi0 per two-bushel bag. Sweets, $3 to 
.>.>..>0 a barrel. Cabbage, 75 cents to .$1 for 
Drumheads and 00 to 85 cents per barrel 
for Savoy; many are sold loose at about 
live cents ^each. Celery is high at from 
•>1 to $ 1.75 per dozen bunches. Carrots 
are 75 cents a bushel; turnips, yellow, 50 
cents a box; white, 50 to 00; beets, 50 
.cents a bushel, or two cents per bunch. 
Onions, $1 to $1.25 per bushel; $1.50 to $2 
per 100 pound bag. Lettuce is off, as a 
large supply has been received from the 
South ; native brings around 30 cents per 
bushel box when sold. Much is unsold at 
present time, and will be thrown away. 
Tomatoes are in small supply at 75 cents 
to $2 per box, and 75 cents for green ones. 
Apples are selling at fair prices for 
good varieties, lint poor grades go very 
slowly except windfall Baldwins, which al¬ 
ways sell at some price in Boston market 
when you can’t give green fruit away. A 
large _ crop is reported across the water 
both in England and in Europe, and until 
tli is is out of the way no large demand 
will come from that quarter. Massachu¬ 
setts crop is uneven and below the aver¬ 
age. A local canning factory has shut 
down after a. short run and gone to their 
Maine factory to finish the season. Table 
apples go at about $1 per bushel, a few 
higher. Common cooking apples from 40 
to 75 cents per bushel. Pears are in de¬ 
mand, but sell rather low in price for the 
small supply on hand; 75 cents to $1 a 
bushel for the poorer lots, $1.50 to $2.50 
for tlie better grades. Cranberries go very 
well at $5.50 to $7 a barrel, being good In 
quality. Quince are scarce and bring $2.50 
to $3 a bushel. Crapes sell very well at 
from 12 to 15 cents a basket. Chestnuts 
sell at $3 to $3.50 a bushel for northern 
grown. Native walnuts, $1.50 to $2 
bushel. A .

TRADE IN BALTIMORE. 
In population Baltimore, Md„ with its 
about (500,000 population, stands among 
the large cities of this eo'intrv. In all 
around importance to the food trades none 
excels it. Its boundaries are good farm¬ 
ing lands, and an excellent harbor, Chesa¬ 
peake Bay, navigable for large steamers. 
Nearly 20 ocean linos have dockage, and 
the?c are numerous coastwise and river 
steamers. During 1910. 1.931.002 bushels 
of wheat. 8,500,934 of corn, 87?) 040 barrels 
of flour, and 1(5,253 bushels of clover and 
Timothy seed were exported. 
Two great trunk-line railroads have 
freight stations in various parts of the 
city and extensive yards near the docks 
In much of the business district it is pos¬ 
sible to receive and ship goods with short- 
haul trucking and but little delay from 
street blockades. That is one peculiarity 
about commercial Baltimore. Wherever 
you go things are moving along steadily 
tint with little confusion. To a large ex¬ 
tent mules do the hauling and negroes are 
the drivers. 
The wholesale produce business is scat¬ 
tered over a rather wide area about the 
downtown freight stations. It 
much tlie same as in other mar- 
of the stuff beiug sold on 
and in railroad yards and the 
hauled 
e. p. 
per 
After tlie groat fire of 1904 the city ac¬ 
quired a large tract of burnt-over land on 
Jones’ Falls, between Pratt and Baltimore 
streets. Three brick buildings were put 
up, one a fish market, one for retail pro¬ 
duce and another for farmers’ wagons. 
That and tlie larger market place in front 
of the buildings will accommodate several 
hundred wagons, and there is shed room 
for a large number in stormy weather. 
Here the truckers within driving distance 
of the city come with loads of fruits and 
vegetables, largely sweet potatoes at pres¬ 
ent, and the goods are available to a va¬ 
riety of buyers. Grocerymcn and peddlers 
are on hand with wagons to get what they 
want, and buyers for the produce houses 
get the remainder. Tuesday and Friday 
are the great market days, but during the 
trucking season, which is long in that 
climate, every week day brings many loads 
of produce to this market place. 
There are 10 retail markets in the city, 
some quite small. The largest and busiest 
is that on Lexington street, covering five 
blocks west from Eutaw. It is about 1.000 
feet long by 75 wide, and when in full 
blast the streets on both sides are occu¬ 
pied by. wagons and temporary stands. 
Lengthwise the market there are three 
walks with stands on both sides. The cen¬ 
ter is largely used by moat, fish, poultry 
and _ butter dealers. Maryland produces 
considerable native beef and does not de¬ 
pend on cold storage chickens. On the 
other stands are fruits, vegetables, flowers, 
bakery goods and practically everything 
wanted for food. Armed with baskets, 
which may be bought there cheaply in any 
size desired, the marketers go about get¬ 
ting what they want at a discount of 10 
per cent or more from grocery and butcher- 
shop prices, besides having tlie added con¬ 
venience of getting everything in one place. 
Conditions are not ideal in Baltimore, but 
the proportion of unnecessary middlemen 
is less than in New York, and there is far 
more opportunity for direct dealing be¬ 
tween farmer and consumer. Unscrupulous 
boomers for New York commission houses 
spread the idea that New York is the best 
place to sell farm produce, no matter what 
the quantity or where grown, but we feel 
very certain that large amounts of mid¬ 
southern produce that comes here could be 
handled to better advantage by Baltimore 
commission men. 
Baltimore has a fruit exchange, where 
be sold at auction. One side 
is accessible to trucks, and 
is tlie railroad track, where 
can lie run and unloaded on 
of the building, the different 
put in separate piles, and 
open to as much inspection as tlie manage¬ 
ment decides. Catalogues giving quantity 
and lot number are printed, and armed 
with these tlie buyers and auctioneer got 
together in the room above. This auction 
plan, with various modifications, is now 
used in nearly all large markets, as it lias 
been found a most economical and satisfac¬ 
tory way of selling graded products, both 
as to quick distribution and just prices. 
The common idea of an auction is a forced 
sale at which buyers take advantage of 
the sellers’ necessity and get a large pro¬ 
portion of tlie goods at less than actual 
value. But tills is not true of the fruit 
auction. Here are the goods, properly 
labeled and graded, and here are the men 
who want to buy them, and know very 
nearly what they are worth. Tlie result 
is a form of wholesome competition that 
comes very near establishing prices on a 
basis of actual supply and demand. In 
New York some eastern grown fruit is now 
being sold at auction, and plans are being 
made to extend this service so that vege¬ 
tables, dairy and poultry products may be 
sold in the same manner. We shall have 
more to say about this later.

The tobacco crop of the Green River, 
Ky„ district, about 30,000,000 pounds, has 
been cut and housed. 
The Long Island potato crop has been 
disposed of unusually early this year. Less 
than 15 per cent is now m tlie hands of 
growers, some of whom are holding lor $1 
per bushel. Those wno sold recently got 
90 to 95 cents. 
In New York City the value of manufac¬ 
tures lias increased 33 per cent in five 
years. The total amount of capital in¬ 
vested is $1,3(54,353.000; cost of material 
used in one year, $1,092,155,000; selling 
value of the product, $2,029,093,000. 
The national mid-Winter sheep show 
will be held in Omaha, Neb., Dec. 13-10. 
There will be premiums aggregating $6,- 
000, and special reduced fares are offered 
by many railroads. Any further informa¬ 
tion may be bad from the secretary, A. F. 
Stryker, Commercial Club, Omaha, Neb. 
This year the Pennsylvania State Corn 
Show will be a part of the big Winter fair 
which the Livestock Breeders’ Associa¬ 
tion, tlie Dairy Union and tlie Horticul¬ 
tural Association of Pennsylvania will 
hold at Pittsburg, Pa., January 15-20 
next. Every county in the State should 
be represented. Save your best corn and 
try to beat Greene, I-ancaster and Ches¬ 
ter. Over 70 cash prizes. Entrance free. 
Prizes for grange and club exhibits, for 
best half-bushel (30 ears), for biggest car 
and longest car. Write to T. D. Harman, 
Jr., 110 Shady avenue, Pittsburg, Pa., for 
particulars. 
The Seed Trade Reporting Bureau is 
establishing a laboratory for testing seed. 
Owing to tlie increased demand for seed 
testing the State laboratories are crowded 
while the fact that reports from the Wash¬ 
ington laboratories cannot be used for ad¬ 
vertising purposes, is regarded as a disad¬ 
vantage commercially. The equipment of 
this laboratory is identical with that used 
in tlie United States seed laboratory at 
Washington and approved by the Associa¬ 
tion of Official Seed Analysts. James E. 
Benedict, Jr., who has had three years’ 
experience in the United States Govern¬ 
ment seed laboratory at Washington and 
afterward established and was in charge 
of the Virginia State laboratory at Rich¬ 
mond. has been engaged as seed analyst 
for tills new laboratory.
