At present farmers are getting for wheat, 
$1.05; oats, 35 cents; corn, 90; potatoes. 
40; rye, 65 ; hay, $16 per tou. Butter, 28 
cents; eggs, 25. Cattle, $6 per 100 
pounds; hogs, $8.25; calves, 12% cents, 
dressed. These tire prices at Battle Creek, 
Mich., our marketing place. a. c. p. 
Bellevue, Mich. 
An improvement has been noted in the' 
condition of Winter apples since last re¬ 
port. The outlook for the Dominion is 70 
per cent of a full crop, Baldwin and Green¬ 
ing being best; Spy and Russet short. The 
pear yield in .Eastern Canada is light, ex¬ 
cept Nova Scotia. Plums are above the 
average. The peach crop was fair, consid¬ 
ering the damage done by the last severe 
Winter. Grapes are ripening late, but the 
crop in the Niagara peninsula is large and 
quality excellent. 
Best corn-fed steers, eight to 10 cents a 
pound; heifers, grass-fed, six to 7 % cents; 
calves, veal, six to 8 % (bulk, 7 %) ; hogs, 
8 % to 8 % cents a pound. Corn, 80 cents 
a bushel, 70 pounds (local); oats, 30; 
Timothy seed, $1.40 a bushel. Best Tim¬ 
othy hay, baled, $10 a ton. Potatoes, Irish, 
60 cents a bushel; sweet potatoes, $ 1 . 
Apples, 75 cents a bushel; onions, 75 cents- 
to $1 a bushel. Eggs, 22 cents a dozen; 
butter. 25 cents a pound. Young chickens, 
14 cents a pound. w. s. e. 
Casey, Ill. 
Beef cattle, from five cents up. Ordinary 
fresh cows bring from $40 to $65; horses, 
$125 to $200. Not many sheep in this 
part of^the country. Hogs, $8.40. Pota¬ 
toes, 75 cents. Apples scarce, local 
trade, $1 per bushel. Hay was good and 
is selling for $10 a ton at the barn. Wheat 
was partly a failure here, and is worth 
90 cents per bushel; oats good, 28 cents 
per bushel. Butter fat, 29 cents; butter, 
18 cents; eggs, 19 cents. Lard, 10 cents 
per pound. Corn, 70 cents per bushel. 
Not much garden truck raised here; no 
manure nor silage sold here. Watermelons 
and muskmelons, five to 15 cents apiece. 
Astoria, Ill. h. f. 
Prices here are largely regulated by Bal¬ 
timore markets. Fresh cows, $40 to $75 ; 
horses, $75 to $300; veal calves lluctuate 
from $6 to $10 per 100 ; hogs, $8 per 100 ; 
milk, 14 cents per gallon in Summer, 16 
in Winter, with freight charges deducted. 
Hay, $17 to $25 per ton for best Timothy. 
Butter. 20 cents per pound; eggs, 21 cents 
per dozen ; young chickens, 18 cents per 
pound: old, 13 cents per pound. Wheat, 
98 cents; corn, 85 cents per bushel. There 
are very few sales at present. Corn is 
being harvested, a fairly good crop, though 
not up to the standard. Very little wheat 
has been sowed. Dairying is the general 
occupation in this neighborhood, as an 
adjunct to grain and hay farms. Potatoes 
are raised and are considered by everyone 
to be a paying crop in this section. 
Baldwin, Md. c. w. m. 
We are located in the “grass land” 
region of north Wisconsin. Potatoes and 
hay are at present our staple crop; pota¬ 
toes bring 25 to 30 cents in our local mar¬ 
ket. A nice carload of even white stock 
would bring 32 cents for shipment. Good 
hay sells for $12 per ton. Some dairying 
is being done; creamery butter sells for 30 
cents retail, dairy butter 25 cents. Eggs, 
fresh, 23 cents per dozen. Good cows 
bring from $50 to $75. Dressed* hogs, 10 
cents per pound; dressed beef from seven 
to nine cents, as to quality. About the 
only fruit offered Is crab apples, which 
bring $1.50 per bushel. Some native plums 
bring $2 per bushel. Cabbage brings two 
cents per pound; ripe tomatoes, $1 a 
bushel. Much good wild land is left in 
Bayfield County, selling for from $10 to 
$20 per acre; settlers coming in fast. 
C. O. H. 
Prices were: Strawberries, live to eight 
cents per quart; raspberries, 10 to 12 ; 
gooseberries, 10 to 12 ; blackberries, five 
to eight; Lima beans, 12 to 25; string 
beans, 40 to 80 cents a bushel; peas, 60 
cents to $1.57 a bushel; tomatoes, 20 to 
80 cents a bushel; sugar corn, 12 to 15 
cents a dozen; corn, 70 to 90 cents a 
bushel, shelled; wheat, 90 cents to $1; 
eggs, 20 to 40 cents a dozen; butter, 25 
to 28 cents a pound; cream, 60 cents for 
hand skimmed; calves, 10 to 13 cents per 
pound, live. The staples here in what is 
known as the third richest county in the 
United States, are strawberries, tomatoes, 
sugar corn, beans and potatoes. This ter¬ 
ritory is located 13 miles from Baltimore 
by a fine shell road with no toll. I have 
nht gone outside of the territory for prices, 
except for butter, as none is produced here. 
Bengies, Md. w. h. d. 
Horses, $100 to $250 ; cows, $40 to $75 ; 
hogs, about $8.50 per hundred; chickens, 
old. nine cents; young, 17 cents per pound ; 
eggs, 25 cents per dozen, retail; butter 35 
cents per pound; milk, 7% cents per 
quart, retail; apples, $ 1 ; pears, $1 to 
$1.50; plums, very plentiful and. as low 
as 25 cents per bushel, wholesale. I have 
been a gardener and fruit grower for 49 
years, and if it were not for the fact that 
so much stuff goes to waste (cannot sell it) 
I would have done much better. As it 
is, I have had a good living and my place 
is worth six times what I paid for it. I 
paid _ 
have often wondered if there is any other 
place where there is so much surplus. We 
have had as much as 1,000 quarts of 
strawberries, 50 and 75 bushels of toma¬ 
toes, that we did not gather because we 
could not sell them. Early cabbage and 
apples, peaches, peppers and lots of other 
things go the same way. s. j. e. 
Canton, Ill. 
The following are the average prices 
obtained at private sale in this neighbor¬ 
hood at this time: Prime Timothy hay, 
$15 per ton; old corn, very scarce, $5 per 
barrel; good oats, 45 cents per bushel; 
wheat straw, $8 per ton; potatoes, 50 to 
60 cents a bushel. Beef cattle, very scarce 
and _high, prime beeves bringing $7.50 to 
$7.75 per 100 pounds. Good dairy cows, 
$60 to $75 per head. Hogs, about seven 
cents per pounjl. Good stock sheep, $4 to 
$5 per head. Tomatoes, delivered to can¬ 
ning houses, 30 cents per bushel; sweet 
corn, at cannery, $11 per ton. Good, coun¬ 
try butter, 30 cents per pound. Milk, over 
four per -cent blitter fat. delivered in 
Baltimore, 16 cents per gallon, six months, 
and 18 to 19 cents per gallon, six months. 
Apples, 40 to 50 cents per bushel. 
Onions, $1 per bushel. Pears, plums and 
peaches, none this year. Cabbage, about 
$2.50 to $3 per 100 pounds. J. l. m’c. 
Bel Air, Md. 
There will be from five to 10 degrees 
difference in as many miles going across 
Long Island, and showers, even heavy ones, 
are seldom felt uniformly over any number 
of places. Hay has beeu a fairly good 
crop; oats not uniformly good; corn will 
be good about here, but is said to be 
poorer farther west. Cauliflower has made 
rapid growth with the warm weather. Late 
potatoes are just being dug. Late cab¬ 
bage promises well. Peaches have borne 
well, considering the severe Winter. Apples 
are a lighter crop than last year. Melons 
are plentiful, but muskmelons are not of 
as good flavor as usual. Good cows are 
worth from $70 to $85. Baled hay was 
$30 ($1.50 per 100) in August. Grains 
are now: Wheat, $2.20 per 100; seed 
wheat, $1.30 per bushel; corn, $1.85 per 
100; cornmeal, $1.95; bran, $1.50. and 
outs, per two-bushel bag of 40 pounds, 
$1.35 (common oats). Eggs, 40 cents.

Prices vary greatly from time to time, 
particularly on some things, especially fruit 
and vegetables. Of course you will get con¬ 
fusing prices from different ones. This is 
largely a dairy section, and milk the prod¬ 
uct sold, four cents for a liquid measure 
quart is top notch price. Dairy cows aver¬ 
age $70 to $80. Fat cows, five to 5% 
cents a pound. Chester, Pa., is our market 
for fruit and garden crops, and commission 
men name the prices. Apples, per %-bushcl 
basket, 40 to 60 cents; pears, Bartletts 
and Seekel, brought $1 per %-bushel bas¬ 
ket ; potatoes, 40 cents per %-bushcl bas¬ 
ket; sweet coru, $1 per 100. Tomatoes 
have no price, a perfect glut. Cabbage, 15 
cents per %-bushel basket, for good hard 
Danish. These are a few of the main 
garden crops sold in my section and the 
prices are right, just at this time. I 
quoted sweet corn at $1 per 100 , yet I sold 
my crop of 21,000 ears in early August 
at an average of $1.55 per 100. Grain 
prices are ruled by the Philadelphia mar¬ 
kets and grain is bought and sold accord¬ 
ing to what it will grade. c. p. 
Brandywine Summit, Pa. 
The sweet corn crop of Maine is a par¬ 
tial failure; not over 40 per cent of a full 
crop will be harvested. The factories have 
started up in most places, but are running 
only half time with small crews. The frost 
of September • 21 did damage in . many 
places. The crop of yellow corn will also 
be poor. The yield of potatoes is about 
an average, runuing about 200 bushels per 
acre in Central Maine. Reports from 
Aroostook indicate a smaller yield. Thrash¬ 
ers report the oat crop as good. Apples 
are not so many as last yeur; there are 
no buyers yet. Potatoes are 40 cents at 
the railroad station; eggs, 30; butter, 30 
to 35; corn, $1 per bushel; flour, $5.50 
per barrel; mixed feed, $1.60 ; cotton seed. 
$1.70 per 100-pound bag. Pastures are 
short and all cows have to be fed liberally 
from the barn. II. F. Jackson recently 
shipped 60 hogs of his own raising to the 
Boston market, which sold for 8 % cents. 
Mr. Jackson has demonstrated that hogs 
can be raised on a large scale in Maine at 
a profit. During the Spring and Summer 
months those hogs were kept on pasture 
and were fed corn only for a few weeks 
at the last. Good cows, new milch, now 
bring $75; sheep, $3.50 to $4. Heavy 
frost night of September 30. R. w. H.
