large milk concerns in New York are 
working up new restaurant trade on the 
basis of $1.85 per 40-quart can. 
BUTTER. 
The quality of fresh creamery receipts 
is averaging poor. There is a one-balf 
(vnt advance on some of the top grades, 
and some slight improvement in market 
for best storage creamery. The medium 
grades of creamery are selling rather 
slowly, as buyers are unwilling to pay the 
prices asked. Dairy markets in Northern 
New York interior points are strong. Re¬ 
cent sales on the Utira Board of Trade 
have run within one-half to one cent of 
the same grades delivered at New York.

Business in the better grades of new 
whole milk is improving. Some lots are 
held at higher figures than quotation, but 
14 to 14 !4 cover most sales of high scor¬ 
ing new.

EGGS. 
The market is weak and one to two 
cents lower. The proportion of low 
quality in average receipts is larger than 
usual in many of the standard individual 
marks. Nearby white eggs are plenti¬ 
ful, very few selling above 22 cents. 
Duck eggs are lower and hard to sell. 
Several shipments of dishonestly packed 
'•ggs have been noted recently, the first 
two layers all right and the remainder 
culls or preserved eggs. Such shipments 
are usually sent to houses that sell by 
appearance, without careful candling of 
the whole case. Occasionally the man 
responsible for the deception gets paid 
the full price before the trick is found 
cut. but he soon gets on a black list of 
undesirables, and the consequences are 
sure to be unprofitable for him.

the top figures quoted being extremes. 
Large quantities of State and Western 
have sold 25 cents per ISO pounds lower, 
new potatoes from Florida are in good 
demand when of fair size. Several thou¬ 
sand sacks <>f Danish have sold within 
the range of $1.25 to $1.75, and occa¬ 
sionally a lot of inferior down to $1. Old 
onions are scarce and higher; new from 
the South in moderate supply. Cabbage 
receipts are large and prices lower. 
Green beans and peas running poor. To¬ 
matoes low, except for choicest grades.

Tomato pulp forms the base of many 
condiments. A company in Northern 
Ohio will this year have 3,000 acres of 
Tomatoes under contract for the manu¬ 
facturing of pulp and ketchup.

Here is the programme of food deliv¬ 
eries made daily to a New York restau¬ 
rant feeding about 1,000 people. At five 
a. m. the man with the rolls leaves two or 
three grain sacks of these, according to 
the order given the day before. Next j 
comes a wagon with crullers, and another 
with corn cakes. Then the ice man ar¬ 
rives, followed by the fancy pastry deliv¬ 
ery, eclairs, cream rolls, cheese cake and 
various knick-knacks. By this time the j 
butcher is on hand with whatever was 
ordered—it may be a large chunk of 
roasting beef, corned beef, a dozen hams, 
lamb chops, etc. Before the butcher gets 
away, the milkman arrives and leaves 
two or three cans. Next is the pie wagon 
with regular stock of standard-built pies, 
about 60 nine-inch ones, to be cut in 
quarters and sold at seven cents a slice, 
and 25 dwarfs selling at five cents for a 
half. Another baker brings the pumper¬ 
nickel, a dozen loaves or more, and last 
of all comes the man with charlotte russo. 
A tally of the various tradesmen named 
above will show seven different bakers, 
specialists, handling what iu former years 
one bakery was supposed to stock.

when he can get a money-saving, grip-hook, 
force-feed SMALLEY, that does the work 
quicker, easier and at less cost. It handles 
silage, cow peas or alfalfa In a hurry. Cuts 
It fine and uniform. Packs silage tighter—
