The commercial values of farm pro¬ 
ducts are what they sell for—not neces¬ 
sarily their food value or what some one 
thinks or wishes they were worth. Hence 
representative sales rather than opinions, 
even though unbiased, are the correct 
basis for quotations. Except in cases 
where quality is standardized by scoring, 
the term “best” refers to the best on sale 
at the time. The best sheep, lambs, 
apples, pears, etc., one week may be 
much better or poorer than the next.

MILK. 
The Borden contract prices for the six 
months beginning with April are based on 
the fat content of the milk, there being 
a difference of GO cents per 100 pounds 
between three and five per cent. fat. The 
prices increases uniformly three cents per 
cent, fat increase.

BUTTKK. 
The better grades of creamery and 
dairy advanced one-half cent but this was 
at once lost. The warehouse report issued 
this week gives the holdings in 45 houses 
as 82,844,(XX) pounds, or 19,178,000 more 
than last year. This report however, 
does not cover nearly all the butter in 
storage, as some of the largest houses 
make no figures public.

KKE3H FRUITS. 
The absence of Jewish buyers on their 
religious holiday weakened the market de¬ 
cidedly as they fire an important feature 
in the fruit trade. The range in apple 
prices is widening as the better qualities 
arrive. There has been a fair movement 
of choice McIntosh. Wealthy, and N. W. 
Greenings at $2.50 per barrel. Good 
color is required to bring these figures, or 
anything like them, however. Pears are 
in free supply and Bartletts 50 cents per 
barrel lower. Sizes afe better than last 
year, when many were pinched with 
drought. Peaches low, but selling well 
when sound. Plums in surplus and low. 
Small quantities of late bearing straw¬ 
berries and raspberries are on hand, go¬ 
ing mainly at low prices. It. is useless 
to ship the Fall-bearing strawberry here 
unless better than medium in quality, as 
with the abundance of other fruits they 
will not sell profitably merely because 
they are strawberries.
