Products, Prices and Trade 
Wholesale Prices at New York. 
Week ending Oct. 1, 1915. 
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, ap¬ 
ples, pears, etc., one week may be much 
better or poorer than the next.

MILK. 
The Borden contract prices for the six 
months beginning with October are based 
on the fat content of the milk, there being 
a difference of 60 cents per 100 pounds 
between three and five per cent. fat. The 
price increases uniformly three cents per 
100 pounds for every tenth of one per 
cent, fat increase. Following are the 
prices within the 100-mile shipping zone. 
Outside points receive 10 cents per 100 
pounds less.

BUTTER. 
Prices 
have advanced one-half 
cent. 
partly because i 
of labor troubles 
with 
freight handlers, which have delayed the 
unloading of supplies. Sales for export 
are of considerable volume, and would 
probably be larger if steamer space could 
be had. Packing stock is in good de¬ 
mand. but local trade on other grades is 
only moderate.

Strictly fresh are scarce and three

and below are in very heavy surplus, 
many lots running 10 to 15 per cent, 
worthless when candled. Good qualities 
of storage are working out at 25 cents 
or under.

FRESH FRUITS. 
Arrivals of peaches have been heavy, 
but with the cooler weather it has been 
possible to handle them to better advan¬ 
tage. An occasional lot of very fancy 
has brought $1.50 to $2 per crate, but 
$1 has been the top for most crates and 
00 cents for bushel baskets. Apple de¬ 
mand is much improved, and well-colored 
sound fruit is 50 cents to $1 per barrel 
higher. Some King, Twenty Ounce and 
Gravenstein are seen with scarcely a 
show of red, evidently picked too early 
or grown under wrong conditions. These 
varieties at their best are more or less 
high colored, and this is demanded by 
buyers if a price anywhere near the top 
is to be paid. A few McIntosh and Jon¬ 
athan have brought $4.50 to $5 per bar¬ 
rel, but $3 to $4 covers most business in 
good qualities. Pear market in bad con¬ 
dition because of excessive ripeness, es¬ 
pecially of Bartletts. Extra fancy Soc¬ 
ket have sold as high as $8 per barrel, 
and choice at $6 to $6.50. Many plum 
shipments are in bad condition. Sound 
German prunes selling at high figures. 
Grape business is picking up, particu¬ 
larly Niagara, which brought 1 *4 to two 
cents per pound.

VEGETABLES. 
For the first time in many months po¬ 
tatoes have sold above $2 per barrel. 
This refers to the best Long Island. New 
Jersey long stock is still going under 
$1.50. Lettuce and onions largely poor, 
cabbiige in better demand, though still 
low. Cucumbers and pickles selling 
slowly, except small pickles. Cauliflow¬ 
ers higher for good qualities.

GRAIN 
Receipts of wheat at interior markets 
are large, and the export situation de¬ 
cidedly uncertain, so that the market as 
a whole is weak. Corn very weak. Frost 
has held off and the expected large crop 
now looks certain. Oats plentiful and 
foreign demand so light that business is 
about at a standstill.

READ WHAT USERS SAY: 
“I had 8 shouts that wero 
not doing well; I fed them 
SAL -VET; in less than a 
week they were passing 
worms a foot long and their 
appetites improved, and they 
have been growing right 
along ever since. Have also 
fed SAL-VET with results 
to a young mule and to all of 
my horses.”— C. H. 
SQUIRES, Courtland, Kans. 
‘‘It was a sight to see the 
long worms expelled by my 
horses after feeding them 
SAL-VET. Since then they 
have shown marked improve¬ 
ment. I keep it before the 
horses constantly and am highly 
pleased with tho reaulta.”—F. H.
