NEW YORK STATE CROPS. 
The crop x'eports recently received by 
the New York State Department of Agri¬ 
culture have been aggregated for the en¬ 
tire State and show the following per¬ 
centages based upon last year’s crop as 
100 : 
Apples, Fall . 44% 
Apples, Winter . 37% 
Apples, Baldwins . 32% 
Apples. Greenings . 47%

The six large apple producing counties 
of Western New York (Genesee, Orleans, 
Monroe. Niagara, Wayne and Ontario) 
report 57 per cent Fall apples, 40 per 
cent Winter apples, 28 per cent Bald¬ 
wins and 70 per cent Greenings comnared 
to last year’s crop. The apple producing 
counties of the Hudson Valley report 55 
per cent of last year’s crop of Fall ap¬ 
ples, 60 per cent of Winter apples, 53 per 
cent Baldwins and 66 per cent Greenings. 
The principal potato counties report a 
yield of 52 per cent of early potatoes and 
71 per cent of late potatoes. 
With reference to pears, the whole 
State reports a yield of 96 per cent Bart¬ 
letts, with the principal surplus pear 
producing counties reporting a yield of 
133 per cent or one-third greater than 
last year. These same counties give the 
yield of Kieffer pears at 99 per cent or 
practically the same as last year. 
Buckwheat shows a marked falling off 
from last year’s yield throughout the 
State, the yield being reported as 67 per 
cent, whereas the percentage reported 
from the principal buckwheat counties is 
52 per cent. Corn is very short, 63 per 
cent of last year’s crop being the State 
average. Last year’s crop being also 
short makes this crop probably the short¬ 
est corn crop grown in the State in years. 
The hay crop for the State as a whole is 
a light one. Twelve central and western 
New York counties, however, give a crop 
of at least 15 per cent higher than last 
year. Whereas. 10 Hudson. Mohawk 
Valley and Northern New York counties 
give a very short crop of only 60 per 
cent of last year’s crop. The yield of 
wheat, rye, oats and barley is practically 
the same as last year and the weather at 
harvesting time being fine it was gath¬ 
ered with very little if any loss. The 
yield of grapes in the surplus grape pro¬ 
ducing counties of the State is practi¬ 
cally the same as given for the State as 
a whole. The severe frost September 10- 
11 seriously affected buckwheat, beans 
and late potatoes in various sections of 
the State. 
REVIEW OF BOSTON MARKET. 
A general short supply of produce in 
Boston market means high prices (no 
matter what the quality) to the con¬ 
sumer, and the returns to the grower for 
quantity sold is very satisfactory indeed 
under present conditions. Commission 
men and wholesale buyers also receive 
the benefit at these times of the general 
situation because they in many cases buy 
at the lowest figure and sell at the high¬ 
est, giving them more than the ordinary 
every-day premium on their sales with 
the advantage of a good demand to clean 
up their stock. That is about the situa¬ 
tion of the market at present. Nearly all 
classes of produce are on the rise or will 
hold present level for remainder of sea¬ 
son. The severe early frosts have cut 
down or entirely destroyed the larger 
part of perishable crops and what is left 
is in demand at high prices. Tomatoes 
are selling up to 82 per bushel. Green 
coim brings around $1 per box at this 
season. Peppers bring up to $1.50 per 
bushel; beets, $1 per bushel; carrots, 
about the same; parsnips, $1.50; turnips 
of various kinds, 60 cents to $1 per 
bushel; squash, $1.25 to $1.50 per barrel. 
Spinach sells well at about 75 cents per 
box; lettuce, 75 cents to $1; cucumbers, 
$5 to $7 per box. and for pickling sorts 
of first quality, $5 to $10 per nox can be 
had; cauliflower, $1.50 per box; celery, 
$1.50 and better per box. 
Fruits are more reasonable in price 
than vegetables. Apples of best quality 
bring $3.50 to $5 per barrel; cheapest 
grades, $2 to $3. Good box fruit, $1.50 
to $2, others 75 cents to $1.25. Pears 
are cheapest of any fruit, 50 to 75 cents 
a box is the price of common drops, with 
good picked fruit selling at $1 to $1.50. 
Peaches bring from 75 cents to $1215. 
Grapes sell at 11 to 15 cents per basket; 
wild grapes, $2.50 or more per box; cran¬ 
berries. $5.50 to $6.50 per barrel; $1.75 
to $2 per box. A few huckleberires still in 
the market at 18 and 20 cents. Eggs 
are short both in storage and fresh sup- 
plv. The storage stock is much less than 
last year at this time. Best fresh bring 
3S to 44 cents per dozen, common grades 
bring from 28 to 36 cents, with a few 
cheap storage at 25 cents. Butter is on 
the verge of a higher level as new stock 
from now on will be light and storage 
supply is not too large. Best fancy now 
brings 86% cents per pound; good, 33 
to 34; common, 29 to 82. Cheese holds 
about the same at 16 to 18 cents for 
cream and 18% for sage. Grain is easier 
but no lower. Corn meal at wholesale 
$1.62 per bag; oats, 50 cents per bushel. 
Bran is close to $27 per ton ; mixed feed, 
$27.50 to $29; red dog, $31.50; cotton¬ 
seed meal, $33; linseed meal, $34; gluten. 
$32. Best hay, $23.50 per ton ; good, $20 
to $22. Live poultry is easy, heixs 16 
cents per pound; broilers, 17; ducks, 15 
cents. Dressed poultry in fair demand at 
reasonable prices. Fowls 16 to 21 cents 
per pound; roasting stock, 23 ot 2S; 
broilers, 23; ducks. 17. Best Brighton 
beef on hoof brings $8 and $8.50 per 100 
pounds. Live hogs. 8% to nine cents per 
pound; lambs, seven cents; veal calves, 
10 cents for best, others eight cents. Best
