BOSTON MARKET PRICES. 
At Boston a good demand for Thanks¬ 
giving supply of vegetables, with prices fair 
to good. Celery has sold well all season 
and is in short supply. Boston market goes

$1.50 to $2; White Plume, $1.25. Cucum¬ 
bers sell well at $5 to $10 per bushel of

but sell well ; best go at $1.25 to $1.50 per 
bushel, $2.50 per bag; poor grades, $2 to 
$2.25 per bag. Apples are slow and in 
large supply, especially the poorer grades, 
which hold the market down. Baldwins, if

Intosh, $3.50 to $4; other good red fruit 
between these figures. Green apples bring

few eases. Baking beans are high and in

per bushel; yellow eyes, $2.85, and kidney 
as high as $3.60. Hay is way up for this 
time of year, best baled selling at $24 to 
$26 per ton. wholesale, with other good 
grades and loose hay going at from $20 to 
$24 per ton. Corn meal at wholesale, $1.54 
to $1.58; retails at $1.65 to $1.70. 
. Good grades of meat are high ; on other 
kinds prices not so good and demand some¬ 
what light. Best steer beef. 12 cents 
dressed; light. 8 to 11 cents. Cow beef, 6 
to 9 cents; veal. 8 to 14 cents. Lamb goes 
at about 9 to 10 cents for best, wholesale. 
Pork is selling well ; best dressed hogs go 
at 8 to 9 cents per pound. Turkeys arc 
high fojr good birds; best dressed birds 
bring 25 to 28 cents wholesale; good ones 
go at 20 to 24 cents; poorer birds bring 
18 to 20 cents, which a few years ago was 
the price of best ones. Roasting chickens 
sold at 18 to 20 cents wholesale, and 25 
cents retail; fowls go at 14 to 16 cents 
dressed. 11 to 12 cents live weight. But¬ 
ter is high and firm ; best brings 33 to 35 
cents per pound wholesale, and 30 to 32 
cents for cheaper and cooking grades. 
Cheese, 14 to 16 cents for cream and 11 
cents for skims; supply on these is not 
heavy and receipts are slow. Eggs are sky 
high, 45 to 50 cents wholesale being the 
figure foi fresh ones, and 23 to 30 for 1 
storage ones. Local fresh go at GO cents 
retail, and hard to get. a. e. p. 
During September the Suez Canal col¬ 
lected $2,000,000 in tolls from 423 vessels. 
Cocoanuts to the number of 2.200.000 
arrived at New York in one steamer from 
Central America recently. 
There are rn this country 1,200 concerns 
engaged in the manufacture of lime, the 
annual output being about 3.480.000 tons. 
Rats in the Canadian Northwest are 
very destructive in the stacked wheat, the 
damage in a single year amounting to 
$ 2 , 000 , 000 . 
Consul Bvlngton reports that the wheat 
crop of England amounts to 61.657,568 
bushels, a ten per cent increase over last 
year. All other grain and legume crops 
are below the average. 
Boston, Mass., now controls the coast¬ 
wise steamer trade, more than 100 vessels 
from Atlantic seaboard points using that 
port. The Boston Dock Commission is 
about to expend $9,000,000 in improve¬ 
ments. 
Germany has 28,141 co-operative societies, 
with membership of 4,579,740. Half of 
these are credit and mutual loan societies; 
2,205 are consumers’, and 3,584 agricul¬ 
tural producers’ societies. Of the latter, 
more than 3,000 cover dairy farming. 
Wisconsin will get about $10,000,000 
from this year’s potato crop. Receipts 
from Europe have been moderately large 
this week, two steamers bringing 65.000 
bushels. These foreign potatoes have sold 
readily at $2.75 per bag of 168 pounds. 
A farmers’ cooperative cold storage Is 
likely to be built at Medina, N Y in the 
near future. Clark Allis has donated the 
land, and a stone and fireproof building will 
be put up in a location accessible to both 
steam and trolley roads. Farmers near 
Medina have been greatly in need of such 
a storage this year for the handling of 
their apples and cabbage. 
The cities of Nuremberg and Fuerth are 
buying potatoes by ttie carload and retailing 
to consumers at cost in 50 and 100-pound 
lots. An unusual demand for foreign po¬ 
tatoes lias been noted in Germany, imports 
during September amounting to 93.083 tons, 
four times as much as the previous year 
1 he shortage was caused by drought. Most 
of these imports are from Holland. 
The better grades of butter are now five 
to nine cents higher at New York than last 
year Production is a little under normal, 
and the snow, which blocked railroad yards 
and make trucking difficult, has still further 
lessened the supply. Speculators are selling 
storage butter at a profit of five to eight 
cents. The present wholesale price of best 
dairy and creamery, 35 to 30 cents means 
anywhere from 40 to 50 cents to the con¬ 
sumer, a price so far above Its food value 
as to restrict retail trade. This is watched 
closely by the large butter dealers and 
speculators, wlio have the market under 
their thumbs and shade prices enough to 
keep tilings moving in a way that will in¬ 
sure most profit to themselves. 
All farm products are bringing a fair 
price, a little higher than usual, with per¬ 
haps apples as an exception. The drought 
in the early part of the Summer made 
potatoes scarce and consequently they are 
now bringing a dollar a bushel. Cabbages 
and turnips both have a good market ana 
all kinds of grain bring a fair price. 
Newfield, N. Y. j. L . 
Hay, best quality, $20 to $25 per ton ; 
straw, $12 to $15; wheat, 95 cents per 
bushel; corn, 90 ; oats, 50; potatoes, 75 to 
90 cents per bushel; apples, 50 cents to 
$1 per bushel. Cabbage $10 per ton ; onions, 
$1 per bushel. Fresh milch cows, $65 and 
other grades $40. Milk seven cents per 
quart. Fresh eggs 50 cents per dozen, stor¬ 
age eggs 25 cents per dozen. j h 
Erie, Pa. 
The blizzard November 11, with the 
thermometer at 23. has put me into a 
pickle with the Fall crop of cabbages. i 
had about 10 tons (6,000 plants) just 
getting ready to be cut when the cold 
came. As a result, a good deal seems 
dead or nearly so. while much of the rest 
seems at a standstill. This is quite a loss 
In a country where cabbages sell at five 
cents per pound retail. The fruit cron 
also having failed, if it was not for my 
Alfalfa I would be badly left. Are there 
any varieties of cabbages that can stand 
more cold than others? If so what are 
they? I overcame the hot sun at time of 
transplanting by shading, and the drought 
by irrigating; now if I can learn to over¬ 
come the effect of blizzards I shall be 
elected yet. „ j. w s 
Mexla, Texas. 
The month of November was one of ex¬ 
tremes in regard to weather, sometimes hot 
and then suddenly cold. On the 29th we. 
had a thunder shower. Not a very heavy 
fall of rain yet to help the wells and cis¬ 
terns. Much Fall plowing is being done. 
Many farmers are busy shredding corn and 
thrashing beans. Corn is yielding very 
well, hut beans are not as good as last 
year: the largest yield reported is 25 
bushels per acre. Land is booming, at $100 
to $125 per acre. Very little stock will be 
fed. on account of the high price of feed 
and low price of fat stock. Wheat. 92 
rents; oats, 50 cents; barley, $1.15; beans. 
Red Kidney, $2.65; Red Marrows. $2.50 
per bushel. Hay, $20 per ton ; potatoes, $1 
per bushel. Butter. 32 cents. Eggs, 38 
cents. Veal, eight cents; lambs, five cents. 
Canandaigua, N. Y. e. t. n. 
Price of milch rows $50 to $60 per head ; 
horses $150, $200. $250. according to size. 
Pork, $8 per 100 dressed; veal seven to 
eight cents per pound alive; sheep $5 per 
head; chickens 15 cents per pound dressed; 
hay $18 to $20 per ton; oat straw $8; 
rye $12; onions $1 per bushel; cabbage four 
cents per head ; beets and turnips 40 cents 
per bushel. Milk is 10 cents less than last 
year; October $1.75 per 100 pounds; No¬ 
vember $1.90; December $1.90, Borden’s 
prices. D . E . w .
