Products, Prices and Trade. 
Wholesale Prices at New York, 
Week Ending Aug. 7, 1914. 
MILK. 
The Borden milk schedule to producers 
for the six months beginning with April 
is as follows, compared with last year. 
This is per 100 pounds in the 26-cent 
zone. For the 29 and 32-cent zones the 
schedule is 10 cents less for all months: 
1914.

Figuring SG pounds to the 40-quart can 
the per quart price is as fellows: April, 
3.01 cents; May, 2.47 ; June, 2.36 ; July, 
2.68; August, 3.01; September. 3.22. 
Wholesale prices paid by New York 
dealers are running $1.61 and $1.51 for 
B and C. Hotels and restaurants using 
two to three cans per day are paying five 
to 5% cents per quart, single quart prices 
from bakeries and grocery stores, six to 
seven cents; delivered milk, nine to 10 
cents. 
BUTTER. 
During the week there has been an ad¬ 
vance of one-half cent and a decline of 
one cent on the top grades of butter. Re¬ 
ceipts of these grades are not excessive, 
but business very dull. City-made but¬ 
ter is in good demand; packing stock 
scarce and one to two cents higher, some 
sales being made at 21 cents.

Market is very firm and one-fourth cent

and prices quoted rather nominal, with 
probability of a substantial increase at 
next report.

EGGS. 
The best new-laid are two to three 
cents higher, but this refers to only a 
small proportion of receipts. The demand 
is slow. Receipts from the West are 
showing irregular quality, close candling 
being needed to meet the needs of even 
fairly good trade. There are frequently 
complaints of strange flavors in eggs, 
which can be traced to excessive use of 
condimental foods. The writer has tast¬ 
ed eggs strongly flavored with fenugreek, 
an ingredient of many foods and “condi¬ 
tion powders.” Any strong or aromatic 
flavor is quite sure to make trouble with 
the eggs. Beef scrap, oil meal, etc., 
should be looked after carefully. Bad 
beef scrap is an especially pernicious 
flavoring for eggs.

FRESH FRUITS. 
Receipts of ordinary apples are heavy 
and prices low; some scarcely bringing 
charges. Unless apples are very scarce 
there is more profit in giving such culls 
to the pigs. A few hand-picked As- 
trachan have been good enough to bring 
$3 per barrel. Receipts of pears are 
much larger. Clapp’s Favorite from 
nearby has sold at $3 to $5 per barrel. 
Many make the mistake of leaving this 
pear on the tree too long, in which case 
it rots at the core. Peaches are lower, 
arrivals being very large. Practically 
nothing is selling above $2 per crate, and 
many going at $1.25 to $1.50. Baskets 
30 to 75 cents, according to quality. 
Small fruits mainly low. Muskmelons 
very plentiful and low.

Very little business is noted. Crop con¬

VEGETABLES. 
Potato prices are low, receipts from 
Jersey being heavy. The abundant rains 
on Long Island and nearby have increased 
the crop beyond expectations. Onion mar¬ 
ket weak except on the best white. Pep¬ 
pers and tomatoes selling well; cucum¬ 
bers and squash dull. A. few Western 
N. Y. peas sold up to $1 per bushel, but 
mainly from 75 cents down.

HAY AND STRAW. 
Some new hay is arriving, selling from 
$19 to $22. A special caution is needed 
to make sure that the new hay is out of 
the sweat before pressing, otherwise it 
is sure to reach market in bad condition. 
Old hay is running generally $1.50 to $2 
above last week’s prices. Old rye straw 
is $1 higher.

GRAIN. 
The market is in very unsettled condi¬ 
tion, owing to the European trouble. 
Great quantities of wheat are being held 
at seaboard points because of the tie-up 
of merchant ships, liable to seizure on 
the sea as prizes of war. Some risks are 
being taken now, and doubtless other 
ships will follow if these reach port safe¬ 
ly. There seem to be other than specula¬ 
tive reasons for the advance in corn, 
crop reports indicating considerable dam¬ 
age, possibly a loss of 200,000.000 bushels 
from the expected yield of 2,700,000,000 
bushels.

BUFFALO MARKETS. 
T HE arrival of green corn is the fea¬ 
ture of the produce market. It is of 
better quality than usual to begin 
with, and retails at 20 cents a dozen 
ears. Muskmelons are at five to 15 
cents each and of very good quality. 
Watermelons rather scarce and retailing 
at 50 cents each for large sizes. Whole¬ 
sale prices are 15 to 40 cents for water¬ 
melons and $1.50 to $2 a crate for musk¬ 
melons. Cabbage is low again, especially 
with the promise of a good crop; beets, 
eight to 12 cents a dozen bunches; celery, 
scarce, at 10 to 35 cents a dozen; cucum¬ 
bers, 20 to 40 cents a dozen, or two for 
five cents retail: lettuce, 25 to 40 cents a 
dozen or two medium heads five cents; 
pease, 75 cents to $1 a bag or 10 cents 
a two-quart measure; tomatoes. 25 to 40 
cents a basket; onions, $1 to $1.25 a 
bushel, or 15 cents a two-quart measure 
retail; Summer squash two for five cents 
retail; eggplant, 15 to 20 cents each, re¬ 
tail. Small fruits are rather plenty and 
low priced. Currants, red, white and 
black, 20 to 35 cents a basket wholesale; 
cherries, six to 10 cents a quart; rasp¬ 
berries, red, 13 cents; black. 11 cents; 
purple, 10 cents wholesale; blueberries, 
14 cents retail. Plums are scarce tempo¬ 
rarily, five to 10 cents a quart, sour to 
sweet. Peaches are of prime quality at 
$2 to $2.35 wholesale for fine Georgia 
Elbertas. Bartlett pears retail 10 cents 
a quart. The home crop promises good. 
Apples are in great variety. Southern 
new are $1 per hamper for green and 
$1.50 for red. There are a few new 
sweet potatoes, retailing at 60 cents a 
peck. New white potatoes are rather 
scarce at $1 a bushel retail. It will be 
some time before there are many of them 
for sale by farmers. The growing crop 
is backward as almost never before, on 
account of late planting and lack of rain. 
Poultry is scarce; 15 to 17 cents for live 
turkey ; 16 to 18 cents for fowl; broilers, 
20 to 24 cents; dressed, 21 to 22 cents for 
turkey, 17 to 19 cents for fowl. 24 to 28 
cents per pound wholesale. J. w. c.
