PRODUCTS, PRICES AND TRADE. 
Receipts <>f milk at New York con¬ 
tinue unusually large for the season. 
Where possible the buyers are squeezing 
a lU-eent reduction from the producers, 
but there is still considerable business on 
the same basis as reported previously, 
$1.91 for B and $1.71 to $1.S1 for C. 
It is said that 40 cheese factories in 
Eastern Canada have gone out of busi¬ 
ness during the past few months. The 
raw milk and cream are shipped to the 
United States duty free, while butter and 
choi se from Canada are subject to a tax. 
* 
Another drop of four cents is noted in 
the butter market. This makes a total 
decline of 10 cents on top grades and 
six to eight on ordinary stock since the 
lirst of this year. A range of 25*7 to 
26^2 covers most business in choice 
creamery. The best storage is held near¬ 
ly as high, as speculators hope for a 
temporary advance. tSomo newspapers 
are printing ridiculous stories of the im¬ 
mense losses suffered by dealers because 
of this drop in prices. They figure that 
because butter is 10 cents lower, on the 
possible 5,000.000 pounds now held in 
New York, .$50(1,000 has been lost. But 
this is one of the contingencies of trade 
for which provision is made. An occa¬ 
sional dealer may be hit harder than he 
can stand, but the rule is that the losses 
are distributed widely, and merely off¬ 
set a portion of thi profits. Another fal¬ 
lacy is that the retailers are charging as 
much as before the wholesale price fell. 
Exceptional cases of this sort may be 
found, but the majority of retailers 
dropped their price as soon as there was 
any warrant for it in the wholesale trade. 
* 
The egg market is w r eak and unsettled. 
Receipts are only moderate, hut buyers 
are holding off, taking only enough for 
quick current needs, evidently expecting 
lower prices. The movement of storage 
eggs is a little more free, holders making 
good concessions to attract business. The 
white eggs from nearbj’ are running too 
small to bring the top figures in current 
quotations, few going above 35 cents 
wholesale. 
The apple market is in a healthy con¬ 
dition, demand being steady, taking up 
current arrivals quite readily. Barrel 
stock of standard varieties wholesales 
from $.‘1.50 to $4.50; fancy Winesaps 
about $2 above this top figure, and New- 
towns about the same. This includes 
the Albemarle, from Virginia. This is 
the season when York Imperial makes 
the best showing at New York, and some 
fine specimens are seen, both from the 
West and Old Dominion sections. 
* 
What is known as the “balance of 
trade” with foreign countries was $629,- 
127,5ol in our favor for 1913. Our ex¬ 
ports were valued at $2,484,311,176, and 
imports, $1,792,183,645. . We exported 
food stuffs, cotton and oil to the value 
of $120,716,004. By far the largest item 
of value was cotton, 636,088,718 pounds, 
worth $81,953,499. Breadstuffs amount¬ 
ed to $11.149,494; meats and dairy 
products, $12.003.536; cottonseed oil, 
$1,913,518, and mineral oil. 
* 
A shipment of 200 tons of dressed beef 
and 500 tons of butter from New Zea¬ 
land is on the way to Vancouver, B. C. 
The distance is about 6,500 miles. 
$ 
Here is an incident showing the jug- 
handled workings of some of our laws 
for the alleged safeguarding of health. 
A package oi poultry arrived at a pro¬ 
duce house, and before it was opened an 
inspector came in. He demanded to see 
the poultry, and sorted out and con¬ 
demned a liberal quantity, sprinkling it 
with chloride of lime. As usual he gave 
the dealer a certificate showing the 
amount condemned and this was sent to 
the shipper with returns for the remain¬ 
der which was sold. The shipper felt 
that it was an outrage and accused the 
commission man of making a plot with 
the inspector to swindle him. In two 
or three weeks the commission man was 
served with a court summons to answer 
the charge of having putrid meat in his 
possession. The case was adjourned, but 
there is strong probability that the dealer 
will be fined anywhere from $50 to 8500, 
the latter not being an unusual sum for 
such violations, where no “mitigating 
circumstances” are visible to the powers 
that be. In some cases the man is con¬ 
victed, but the violation termed a "tech¬ 
nical offense” and fine suspended, though 
just what makes the difference is not 
visible to the layman. tv. w. H.
