Products, Prices and Trade. 
Wholesale Prices at New York. 
Week ending Dec. 3, 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 top grade 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 
months beginning with October are based 
on the fat content of the milk, there being 
a difference of (10 cents per 100 pounds 
between three and five per cent. fat. The 
Price increases uniformly three cents per 
100 pounds for very tenth of one per 
cent, fat increase. Following are the 
prices within the 100-mile shipping : one. 
Outside points receive 10 cents per 100 
pounds less. 
rabbits, both cottontails and jacks, are 
increasing and prices lower except for 
prime jacks.

HOTTER. 
The better grades of both dairy 
creamery are two cents higher, 
amount of this quality available is so 
small, however, that the top prices cover 
but little business. Under grades, in¬ 
cluding city made, are very dull. Storage 
butter is selling low compared with fresh, 
creamery going three to four cents under 
new make of same quality.

EGGS 
Receipts, particularly of near-by 
white, have been large enough to cause 
11 cents drop in price. Mixed colors 
are two to four cents lower, as they had 
not been forced to such an extreme figure. 
Gathered stock generally is showing an 
increased percentage of new laid. Mar¬ 
ket on all lower grades is very dull, as 
jobbers and retailers feel uncertain as to 
further declines and are afraid to buy in 
excess of their immediate needs. The 
weather in most producing sections has 
been so favorable that hens through the 
molt have started laying at once. A 
severe cold snap would stop a great many 
that are only fairly well housed, while a 
mild December, minus snow, might in¬ 
crease production enough to bring prices 
nearly to the Spring level temporarily.

Since the Thanksgiving market busi¬ 
ness has been very slow, and part of the 
time the weather so warm that some ar¬ 
rivals have been soft and slippery. Ship¬ 
pers for the Christmas trade should bear 
in mind the previous warning not to wrap 
dressed poultry in newspapers, as it is 
likely to be condemned by inspectors.

Early in the week the apple market 
was stronger, sales being made at 25 to 
oO cents per barrel above last week's fig¬ 
ures. Later the demand eased down and 
prices were lower, particularly on boxed 
BPPles. Dessert varieties sold mainly at 
.> 1.00 to 82.50 per box—some Spitz high¬

A few hothouse lambs have been ar¬ 
riving, selling from $7 to $10 per head. 
Calves rather dull. At times there has 
been some conflict in Federal, State and 
city regulations regarding the correct way 
to dress calves. They are now arriving 
and passing inspection dressed as fol¬ 
lows : Head and feet removed; breast 
split open all the way down through the 
neck, so that all liquids drain out; heart, 
liver, brains and sweetbreads in a cloth

GRAIN 
The feature of the tveek was the Cana¬ 
dian government's action in taking over 
17,000.060 bushels of wheat. The evident 
intent of the authorities was to curb a 
certain type of speculation which last 
year squeezed an abnormal profit out of 
the heavy early deliveries of wheat, to 
the embarrassment of the Government 
and without the farmers benefiting by 
the high prices. The United States has 
a fine collection of sharks waiting for 
piey of this kind, and some have been 
heavy dealers (sub rosa) in Canadian 
wheat. The Canadian authorities state 
that they do not want to embarrass any 
trader by a sudden cutting off of sup¬ 
plies which he might reasonably depend 
upon in the usual current of crop move¬ 
ments, so that this taken over wheat will 
be loaned to cover such cases. This ac¬ 
tion, while not preventing speculation, 
puts it, in a way, under supervision, and 
throws on it the light which is death to a 
particularly pernicious type of specula¬ 
tion. Cash wheat has made a temporary 
advance of five cents. Corn is also higher, 
but this is mainly on reports of poor qual-
