Figuring 86 pounds to the 
can the per quart price is as 
April, .‘>.01 cents; May, 2.47 
2.36: July, 2.68; August, 3.01; 
her, 3.22. 
Last year the following premiums over 
contract prices were paid high scoring 
dairies: April, May and June, seven 
cents per 100 pounds; July, eight: Aug¬ 
ust, 10; September and October, 11; No¬ 
vember, five. 
Wholesale prices paid by New York 
dealers are in some cases 10 cents lower. 
$1.61 and $1.51 per 40-quart can for B 
and C grades. A drop of 10 cents per 
can has been made to restaurants and 
hotels, those using three to four cans per 
day now paying 5*4 to 5% cents per 
quart. 
BUTTER. 
Prices during the week have run a 
fraction of a cent above last report, but 
.the market is unsettled and generally in 
favor of buyers. Holders, except those 
controlling special marks, have been 
quite ready to make reductions in order 
to move their stock.

CHklCSE. 
The receipts of new made whole milk 
have been so heavy that a drop of two to 
three cents is noted and the market is 
in a decidedly uncertain state, especially 
on medium grades. Well cured new make 
is held firmly, and the same is true of 
high grade old. About 800 crates of New 
Zealand cheddar have been received at 
New York via London, selling mainly at 
18 cents. The quality is good.

Business the early part of the week 
was good, owing to the Easter trade. Re¬ 
ceipts were large. 1.880.000 dozen the 
first two days of the week. White eggs 
from nearby are more plentiful, and have 
to be large to bring the top quotations. 
A fair quality of European stock is sell¬ 
ing at 18 to 19 cents, and fresh gathered 
from the Central West, 20 to 21. The 
quite common practice of mixing eggs 
tested out of incubators with new laid is 
not to be recommended. There is, of 
course, a difference in tested-out eggs, 
but they are not like normal fresh eggs 
and will not satisfy buyers of such stock. 
Experienced handlers can pick out these 
eggs by the appearance and feel of the 
shell, and such mixed lots are discounted 
—usually more than the mixture war¬ 
rants. As a matter of business results 
will average better if the tested-out eggs 
are kept by themselves and sold for 
what they are.

added. The supply at New York now 
is chiefly Maine stock, which shows good 
quality. Prices paid at primary points 
in Central and Northern Maine do not 
vary much from one cent per pound, and 
the same figure is prevailing in interior 
New York markets, though many farm¬ 
ers are inclined to hold for more. In 
the Middle West farmers are getting 45 
to 50 cents per bushel, with supplies 
scarce at many shipping points owing to 
bad roads. Many Minnesota farmers re¬ 
fuse to sell for less than 50 cents, which 
local buyers are unwilling to meet. Seed 
stock has been selling in the Central 
West at 55 to 75 cents, according to va¬ 
rieties. Choice Early Ohio and Cobbler 
have brought 80 cents in some cases. 
Several cargoes of foreign potatoes ar¬ 
riving at New York recently have been 
refused admission on inspection, and 
either destroyed or reshipped to other 
points. Now potatoes from Florida are 
generally higher and selling well. New 
cabbage in heavy supply and dull. As¬ 
paragus is arriving freely and selling in 
the range of $1.75 to $3.50 per dozen 
wholesale.
