THE BOSTON MARKET. 
Fruit and vegetables in Boston market 
are selling better as season advances. Light 
frost in local sections has cut out some 
of the surplus on tender, crops, as pickles, 
tomatoes, beans, etc. Tomatoes have not 
yielded heavy this season and no heavy 
surplus has been on the market. A few 
weeks will now clean them up. except those 
under glass. Ripe ones go at 75 cents to 
$1.50 per bushel; green, 50 to 60 cents. 
Outdoor cucumbers and pickles are cleaning 
up at good prices, $2.50 for former and 
$4.25 for latter, per box. Beans are done 
in most cases; late crop poor, on account 
of drouth ; shells cleaned up at $1 to $1.75 
per box; a few poor quality string and 
wax at about $1 per box; Limas go at 
around $2. Cabbage plenty and slow at 
about 75 cents per barrel. Squash in fail-

plenty and a little slow. 75 cents per 
bushel. Potatoes iu good supply and many 
of poor keeping quality; they go at 55

barrel. Apples in fair but not excessive 
supply, with a good demand for all classes, 
especially medium quality grades of cook¬ 
ing and table apples. The nearby sections 
of Boston, with few exceptions, have a light 
crop, and farmers’ wagons are not plenty 
witli apple loads; but the commission men 
are receiving all they can handle comfort¬ 
ably. Average grades sell at 75 cents to 
$1 per bushel; McIntosh, Wealthy and all

basket and $1.50 per carrier, or $1.50 per 
large basket. Grapes in large supply;

cents; Delawares, Niagaras and Salems. 10 
cents; wild grapes, $2 per bushel. Eggs

Why do they use Tubulars? Be¬ 
cause Tubulars have twice the skim- 
- skim twice as clean. These brainy, 
successful men value high production in both cows and machines. They want 
the most for their money. They make an extra profit whenever they can. 
They use Tubulars to make a 
profit no other separator can 
make. Furthermore, they like 
the fact that Sharpies Dairy 
Tubulars contain no disks. 
You are level-headed and quick to value extra 
profits. You can’t forget that simple Tubulars make 
more money than complicated machines. When you 
ask us for Catalog 1.53 you get prompt and cour¬ 
teous attention.
