new stock is moving quickly. There is a 
fair demand for factory and packing stock 
of medium to good grades.

CHEESE, 
The market is very irregular on both 
new and old make, mainly because of the 
low average of quality. Wagon peddlers 
are handling some of the cheap skims on 
account of the low price at which they 
may be bought. New Zealand whole milk 
Cheddars are here in commercial quan¬ 
tities, selling mainly at 17 to 18 cents.

EGGS. 
Prices remain on practically the same 
level as last week. Receipts are large, 
but business in eggs suitable for storage 
is good, in fact much better than current 
consumptive trade. From 20 to 22 cents 
covers most of the wholesale business in 
choice new-laid.

FRESH FRUITS. 
Receipts of barrelled apples are light, 
aud a large proportion showing scald or 
other storage defects. A range of $4 to 
$5 covers most of the wholesale business 
in sound stock of standard varieties like 
Baldwin. The Virginia Newtown, com¬ 
monly known as Albemarle, brings more 
—up to $7 when fancy. Strawberries 
qnite plentiful but in better condition 
than last week, selling from 15 to 35 
cents.

Arrivals of old potatoes are moderate, 
and prices 25 cents higher on the better 
grades. New potatoes from the South sell¬ 
ing well when of fair size, but many 
running small—pigeon-egg size. Old on¬ 
ions are poor and hard to sell; new from 
the South in large supply. String beans

The ice house and root cellar are two necessities 
on the modern business farm. Just ask the U. S. Dept, 
of Agriculture what materials they recommend for 
building them. 
But make no mistake—the concrete should be 
made of Atlas Portland Cement. The neighbor who 
has used Atlas can tell you why. Ask him, and ask 
your dealer for Atlas. You’ll be glad you dido

‘‘J “fed to j? s , e a man Y hogs until I fed them i\

stock medicines, but SAL-VET is certainly king of 
them all.” A. H. HYPER, Evening Shade, Mo.
