EGGS. 
The I'rice range between gathered and' hen¬ 
nery eggs is narrowing, as receipts of the latter 
are’ increasing. Large sizes still bring the top 
Iirice, but not .so many can be sold at this figure 
as a week or two ago. The bettor grades of 
storage still in siieeulators hands are held 
slightly higher, as the supply Is considered very 
nuKlerate. The I’acitic coast is shipping some 
stock here, and competing rather strongly with 
Eastern new-laid. The Winter California

FRESH FRUITS. 
The market is in good condition on all sound 
barreled apple.s of good varieties. Western box 
apples are still dull, some being frosted. Bears 
are running poor, except an occasional lot of 
well-ripened' Kieffer, which bring .?3.1j0 per bar¬ 
rel or upwards. Cranberry business very dull 
and prices low except on fanciest fruit. The 
custom of confining cranberry eating so closely 
to the holidays cuts out considerable business in 
this desirable fruit. Cranberries at $<! or $7 
per barrel make sauce material that should have 
an open season of three months in eating hou.se 
and family trade instead of only one as at 
present.

VEGETABLES. 
Botatoes have again advanced slightly, sound 
• took selling 10 4o 1.5 eents jier bushel higher. 
■J'he common retail price of (10 cents per ix'ek 
restricts consumption decidedly. A great many 
potatoes affected with the hard black rot get 
into the consumers' hands, so that it is nothing 
(tnusual to lose a pound' or more in a peck of 
what are considered first-class stock. This dis- 
'•ase is not ordinarily noticed unless the skin is 
broken, and may run two-thirds through the po¬ 
tato. Taking this and the normal wastag<> in 
I eeling. potatoes us they a|)pear on the table 
lOSt the average Kew York family between five 
and six cents jier pound. Cabbbage is extremely 
high, some Danish bringing three cents per 
pound or more in ton lots, and new up to $4 
per barrel. Onions remain high. Lettuce, green 
beans and peas averaging poor. The few fancy 
tomatoes arriving are selling high.

July wheat at Cliicago are now selling at 35

Read This Before You Buy a Tractor 
I F you could be sure you were getting the 
right tractor—a good reliable, economical 
machine—wouldn’t you buy one for this 
Spring’s work? 
You have hesitated to choose from .the 
many offered because you could not be sure 
that the tractor you bought would be the best 
one for you. That is the policy of a good 
business man. 
The two claims 
made f'^r most tractors 
are these—That the 
tractor will do your 
work and that it runs 
on kerosene. These 
two features are vital. 
They should be 
guaranteed, not 
merely claimed. 
They are guaran¬ 
teed in Mogul tractors. 
M ogul tractors 
are guaranteed to do good serviceable work 
and to operate successfully on kerosene. 
The order blanks contain a warranty to that 
effect giving you the written guarantee of a 
responsible Company. 
Mogul 8-16 
Kerosene Tractor 
$725 Cash f. o. b. Chicago 
Does all the 
get? 
What better assurance than this can you 
Buy a Mogul tractor—a tractor built to 
operate on kerosene; that does operate 
successfully on kerosene; that the Company 
guarantees to work on kerosene; making that 
guarantee in the printed warranty that you 
keep when you order. 
Mogul 8-16 is without doubt the most 
popular and successful kerosene tractor on the 
market to-day, and no wonder. It has a simple, 
one-cylinder, slow 
speed, kerosene burn¬ 
ing engine with crank 
case completely en¬ 
closed to keep out 
dirt. Hopper cooled. 
Starts and runs on 
magneto. Mechani¬ 
cal oiler takes care of 
all engine bearings. 
No gears to shift. 
Chain drive. Travels 
at correct plowing 
speed for section 
where sold. Turns 
in a 10-foot radius, 
heavy field work that horses 
are used for, and any belt work up to 16 H. P. 
Because Mogul 8-16 is so popular, it is not 
always possible to make quick delivery. Now 
that the kerosene burning feature is guaranteed, 
sales will be still larger. Don’t wait. Start now 
to investigate. Your order will have to be 
placed soon to insure delivery in time for the 
first good plowing days of Spring.
