The Rochester; N. Y., Market. 
A review of the Rochester Christinas 
market shows everything in a fairly satis¬ 
factory condition. Supplies are plentiful 
but are absorbed without any break in 
prices. Turkeys. 24 to 32 cents dressed, 
the 26-ceut kind are not very attractive.

depends on size, four to five feet 50 cents; 
25 to 30 feet, $4 and $5. Pine rope. 10 
cents per yard, coil of 20 yards, eight 
cents per yard. Up to the 20th hardly any 
snow. Weather soft, roads good, no frost

look quite like Winter. c. L.

In Southwest Michigan apples wont off 
at fair prices. So far. December 5, very 
little cold weather and no snow to speak 
of. Feed, especially hay, more plentiful 
than in years. Potatoes, 40 cents, though 
wet land drowned out. Land is high, so 
many Chicago people buying small farms. 
Turkeys, 23 cents a pound for Thanksgiv¬ 
ing, and chickens, ducks, butter and eggs 
all high. J. j. G. 
Hartford, Mich. 
The following I believe fair prices for

to $40: dressed pork, $10 per 100 pounds;

Charlotte, Vt. . H. F. c. 
Local butchers: Beef, live, six cents; 
dressed, nine; pork, seven; lamb, six; 
sheep, three: calves, eight to nine. Ele¬ 
vators and mills: Wheat, bushel, $1; oats. 
29 cents, according to quality: rye. 60; 
barley, 50; corn, 100 pounds, 53; clover 
seed, $8.50; Timothy, $1.50. Mills and 
elevators retail at five cents a bushel 
profit on standard grades. Grocers: Onions, 
60 cents: potatoes, 45: eggs. 32: butter, 
28; apples. 50 cents to $1. Milk at farms, 
12 cents per gallon; was as low as nine 
cents last Summer. Some farmers who 
supply milk the year round get as high 
as 15 cents. Farmers around here do not 
make a business of raising good dairy cows 
or keeping same kind. Milk is collected by 
dairy companies and private dairies, re¬ 
tailing in Fort Worth for eight cents. 
Little or no wheat raised around here 
last year; looks well this year, but ground 
is frozen two or three inches deep now 
and no snow to cover it. Most of the 1 
farmers around here sell hay, grain and 
straw, and their farms show it, while some 
actually have a surplus after feeding a 
fair sized herd. Some rye sown here for 
cover crops: one farmer drilled rye be¬ 
tween corn with j>ouy drill; looks good to 
me. H. H.
