Supplies are increasing and business 
moderate in volume, yet last week’s 
price advance on the better grades 
has been held, and fresh creamery scor¬ 
ing above 02 is quotable one-half cent 
higher, as this grade is scarce. Qualities 
priced at 2S to 30 cents are in surplus 
and subject to slight reductions when 
necessary to make sales. Very little 
doing in storage. A few export orders 
for renovated noted at 25 cents or under.

EGGS 
Prices are three cents lower than last 
week, the drop affecting the top grades 
<>f both white and brown. During Winter 
many producers are able to sell their 
> ggs at high prices in local interior mar¬ 
kets. When prices drop because more 
hens are laying, there is a disposition to 
ship to New York in the hope of getting 
more profit, but the results are often 
opposite. Less than a month ago white 
eggs wholesaled in New York at 45 to 47 
cents, not all, of course, brought these 
figures, but there was enough business on 
this basis to warrant a quotation. Now 
32 to 33 cents covers most commercial 
sales of this grade. It is well for the 
would-be shipper to the large cities at 
this season to figure out his transporta- 
lion and selling charges and see whether 
his net returns from local sales will not 
he greater, at least until the larger mar¬ 
kets, which are getting the surplus from 
many points, strike bottom.

FRESH FRUITS. 
Receipts of barrelled apples have been 
heavy, but demand good, especially for 
i lie better qualities. Northern Spy and 
Wiuesap are the best varieties on hand 
at present in commercial quantities, and 
the proportion of Spy bringing the top 
price rather small, as the variety often has 
the defects of small size, knot or brown 
spots. Strawberries are plentiful, some 
very fine specimens of Nic Ohmer being 
seen, bringing double the prices of others 
now on hand. Quality in early Southern 
berries is a growth of recent years. The 
kinds first grown were those that “ship 
well,” hard as chips and half green.

tration. Parts are made right at the factory—they fit

strength.

John Deere Two-Way Plow 
The Sulky with the Steel Frame and Patent 
Auto Foot Frame Shift 
The only Two-way Plow that has steel frame and patent- 
auto foot frame shift. 
Works equally well on hillsides or level land. Well bal¬ 
anced, easily operated and light draft. 
Simple to operate and the most reliable and durable in 
construction because of its few adjustments. 
When a John Deere Two-Way Sulky is used, both har¬ 
rowing and planting can be kept up with the plowing. Thus 
the seed is gotten into the fresh, moist dirt before the soil 
dries out. 
No ridges to smooth down and no dead furrows to fill up 
after plowing a field with this plow. 
Special Features 
1. All steel and malleable frame. Steel arch. 
Light, strong and durable. Rigid connections 
and permanent alignments. 
2. Patent auto foot frame shift. A slight foot 
pressure swings frame and accurately locates 
plow bottoms. 
3. Automatic shifting hitch. This device is posi¬ 
tive. Clevis cannot fail to move to position. 
When turn has been made and while the fur¬ 
row bottom is being lowered, the whiffletrees 
automatically roll to place along the clevis 
bar to a position in front of working plow, 
thus correcting line of draft. 
4. Automatic horse lift. Operator’s foot releases 
latch. Pull of the team raises bottom. Hand 
lever also provided. 
5. Wide tread. Prevents tipping on hillsides and 
permits use of wide or narrow bottoms. 
6. Removable shin piece. Insures keen cutting 
edge. Easily renewed and prolongs life of 
moldboard. 
This plow can be equipped with all style 
bottoms made especially for Eastern condi¬ 
tions.
