EXHIBITION LIVE STOCK AND THE 
TUBERCULIN TEST. 
The U. S. Bureau of Animal Industry 
has issued Regulation 39 in which the 
requirements of Regulation 38 are 
waived for cattle to be imported from 
Canada temporarily for exhibition pur¬ 
poses at the fair to be held at Ogdens- 
burg, N. Y., September 22 to 26, 1913: 
Provided, That the provisions of said 
Regulation 39 shall be strictly applied 
to such cattle. Said regulation reads as 
follows: 
Regulation 39. The Chief of the Bu¬ 
reau of Animal Industry may, however, 
by written order, waive the foregoing 
tuberculin-test requirement for cattle 
which are to be imported temporarily 
for exhibition purposes, provided such 
cattle are accompanied by a satisfactory 
certificate of tuberculin test by a veteri¬ 
narian in the employ of and receiving a 
salary from the Canadian Government 
made not more than six months previ¬ 
ously, and an affidavit by the owner or 
importer stating that the said certificate 
of tuberculin test refers to the cattle in 
question. Any such cattle which are not 
sold to remain in the United States shall 
be returned immediately to Canada at 
the close of the exhibition. The depart¬ 
ment must be notified of any Canadian 
cattle which will remain in the United 
States, not tested as required by Regula¬ 
tion 3S, and the tuberculin test will be 
applied to them by an inspector of this 
department before shipment to destina¬ 
tion. All cattle, sheep, and swine in¬ 
tended for exhibition purposes must be 
shipped directly to the exhibition grounds 
and must not be unloaded in any public 
stock yards. _ 
CATTLE TICK QUARANTINE. 
The U. S. Department of Agriculture 
has issued an order effective September 
1, 1913, releasing from cattle quarantine 
for Texas fever 9,191 square miles in 
Texas, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Georgia 
and South Carolina. This release from 
quarantine is in addition to the 20.000 
square miles released on March 1, 1913, 
so that this year the quarantine has been 
lifted in nearly 30,000 square miles of 
cattle raising territory. 
Since the beginning of the work of 
tick eradication in 1906, 196,395 square 
miles, out of the 741,551 square miles in¬ 
fected, have been cleaned up and released 
from quarantine. The actual portions of 
the several States to be released on 
September 1 are as follows: In Texas: 
the counties of Fisher and Jones, the re¬ 
mainder of Terrell and Hardeman coun¬ 
ties, and portions of the counties of Croc¬ 
kett, Sterling, Mitchell, Haskell and 
Knox. 
In Oklahoma: the county of Nowata 
and portions of the counties of Washing¬ 
ton, Osage and McClain. 
In Tennessee: the counties of Hender¬ 
son, Chester and Hardin, and the re¬ 
mainder of Decatur, Wayne, McNairy 
and Hardeman counties. 
In Georgia: the counties of Newton 
and Oconee. 
In South Carolina: the remainder of 
the counties of Abbeville and Chester. 
” THE BUFFALO MARKETS. 
Rejoicing over the late rains, the pro¬ 
duce business now has hopes of a Fall 
that is not so dry as July was, during 
which only about an inch of rain fell 
through the whole of Western New York. 
The late rains have been very spotty, 
but have generally overlapped each other 
so that all sections have been reached. 
It was getting so dry that large trees 
were turning yellow. Still garden prod¬ 
ucts stood the drought well. The sup¬ 
ply in the city markets has kept up well 
and prices are moderate. Peas are about 
cut out, but corn is coming in better and 
beans are as good and plenty as ever, re¬ 
tailing at five cents a quart. Berries are 
about gone, a few blackberries still com¬ 
ing in at 12 cents a quart retail, and 
blueberries rather more plenty at about 
the same price. The crop of water¬ 
melons and muskmelons is large and the 
quality above the average. Watermelons 
are rather cheap, retailing at 25 cents 
per half, while muskmelons are a trifle 
high, being three for a quarter if of good 
size. There is still a host of plums of 
all colors, retailing at 12 cents for two- 
quart baskets, but cherries are about 
gone. Cucumbers are rather high and 
poor quality, wholesaling at $1 to $1.50 
and retailing at about three for 10 cents. 
There is now a good showing of early 
apples in, Sweet Boughs leading at $1 
a bushel up, and retailing at 15 for two- 
quart baskets. The crop will not be large, 
but the quality promises to be better than 
last year. Karly potatoes did not get 
rain enough. They are of good quality, 
but the yield will be light. They retail 
at not less than $1.10 a bushel. Late 
potatoes are still looking fair, but will 
need more rain right along to do much. 
It looks as if the Winter price would be 
pretty high. 
Cabbage is coming down some, the 
wholesale price being $3 to $4 per hun¬ 
dred. The crop does not promise to be 
thrown away as generally as that of last 
year was. Onions are also bringing a fair 
price, 75 to 80 cents a bushel wholesale. 
Celery remains low, five cents for a big 
bunch. There has been very little fluc¬ 
tuation in butter, eggs or cheese lately, 
all of which are rather low’. Butter and 
eggs are on a par at 29 cents for best 
at wholesale and best cheese 15% cents. 
There is now scarcely any so-called sec¬ 
ond grade eggs on the market, and 
poor butter is only 11 cents lower than 
best, which is not difference enough. 
Peaches are still coming in from Califor¬ 
nia, though the home crop will soon cut 
them out, all but very large and fancy 
ones. Everything looks fine and prices 
will be rather low. There is need of 
them to take the place of the fancy-priced 
oranges and lemons. This city consumes 
a great amount of bananas, getting them 
at about a cent apiece retail. J. w r . c. 
THE BOSTON MARKETS 
The supply of various fruits in Bos¬ 
ton markets is and has been not over 
large, especially of the first-class best 
quality that is always in demand. The 
apple crop is short, much shorter than 
many people know, and good first-class 
fruit is in demand at good prices. As 
one grower put it, “I bring a small load 
in and take a large load back,” meaning 
the price he received was large compared 
with what he has in past times carried 
home even for much larger loads. Good 
fancy apples, Williams, Gravenstein, 
Astrachan or Duchess, bring $1.75 per 
bushel; good fruit of same varieties 25 
and 50 cents per bushel less. Common 
kinds and poor grades of above varieties 
bring 50 to 75 cents per box. Pears 
plenty and prices will rule near a low 
level; Clapp now selling at 75 to $1 per 
box; Bartlett will now be picked and 
sold or stored. More are cold when 
picked than are stored and held for 
higher prices, as was formerly the cus¬ 
tom with large growers near the city. 
California Bartletts have held at $3.50 
per box until now. Peaches have been a 
little short of demand, but will shortly 
be plenty enough to supply all demand at 
reasonable prices; the crop is large, but 
not excessive. Prices rule from 75 cents 
to $1.50 per basket, according to size 
and kind. Plums very plentiful, both 
native and outside stock; no steady price, 
but get what you can. Some California 
plums have sold at $2 per crate, but good 
natives can be bought for eight and 10 
cents per dozen at retail. Bananas high 
and furnish a small profit to retail fruit 
trade, which sells good-sized fruit at 25 
cents per dozen, or lose the fruit. They 
cost $2.50 for medium-sized bunch. 
Watermelons cheap at 25 and 30 cents 
each wholesale. Pineapples short and 
of course high, $2.25 to $4 per box. 
Muskmelons cheap; $1.25 buys most of 
average stock. A few r large crates of 
best bring $3.50 per crate to fancy trade. 
Oranges, $6 to $7 per box; lemons, $5 to 
$7.50. 
Potatoes quite plentiful, coming from 
Maine on the north and also from New 
Jersey and other southern fields; average 
prices for either, $2.25 to $2.50 per bar¬ 
rel, or $1.60 per two-bushel bag. Sweets 
from Virginia and Carolina, $2.50 to $3 
per barrel. Native vegetables are plenti¬ 
ful in most cases, and prices rule low in 
most cases, with a few exceptions, such 
as cabbage at $1.50 or better per barrel; 
cauliflower, $1.50 and better per box; 
cucumbers, $2 to $4 per box; peppers, 
$1.50 per box, and turnips at $1 per 
box^ for all kinds. Lettuce is reasonable 
at 35 to 60 cents per box; parsley, 75; 
romaine, 50 to 75; chicory, 50 to 65. 
Onions, $1 or better per box; squash, 
$1.50 to $2 per barrel for marrow and 
turban ; Summer, 35 to 75 cents per box. 
Tomatoes, $1 per box; beets, 70; carrots, 
$1; radish, 50; peas, $2; corn, 40 to 
50; string beans, 50; shell beans, 75 
to $1. 
Western eggs arriving in poor shape 
on account of weather conditions, and 
sell low, but good stock both from there 
and nearby sources is firm in price and 
demand. Best 38 per dozen; good fresh 
35 down to 31; poorer grades, 26 to 30. 
Butter is quiet and reasonable, best, 33 
to 35; good around 30; some at 28 is 
passable. Cheese, 14, 16 and 18 cents 
per pound. Live poultry trade quiet at 
15 to 16 per pound for fowl; broilei’S, 
17; dressed fowl, 14 to 20, according to 
quality, size and condition. Fancy 
roasting chickens, 25 to 28; broilers, 23; 
ducks, 17. Dressed meats high as ever; 
lamb, 14 to 17; fresh pork, 14 to 17; 
beef, 13 to 14; whole dressed hogs, 11 to 
12; live hogs about nine. Live veal, 8% 
per pound, 12 to 17 dressed. We see 
no hope of any lowering of prices in 
meats in sight, all reports show short¬ 
age of supply, with no remedy except 
larger production, and this takes time. 
Grain prices are unreasonable in face 
of true situation. Crop reports have been 
and are exaggerated as to shortage. 
While no large surplus exists, yet enough 
old stock and a medium prseent crop 
makes the supply large enough to fill our 
wants. No reason exists for swelling the 
price or stopping consumption beyond 
moderation and reason. Meal is selling 
at $1.64 per bag wholesale; mixed feed, 
$29 per ton; linseed, $32.50; cotton¬ 
seed meal, $31.25; gluten, $29.50; best 
horse hay, $24 ; good hay, $20 to $22.50; 
other grades, $13 to 18. A short crop 
generally reported means these or higher 
prices will continue as long as the powers 
can hold them there. A. E. P.
