EGGS. 
Buyers are working cautiously, as there is a 
general feeling that prices must soon drop. 
Dealers who would ordinarily take five to ten 
cases at a time buy only two or three. As to 
the near future, much depends on the weather. 
Hens are working up toward large Spring pro¬ 
duction, but we still have a month that knows 
how to be the worst of the year. 
and 
in 
such 
case it can cut production heavily

FRESH FRUITS. 
The apple market is very strong and higher 
on the better grades of both barrel and box 
fruit. Strawberries in larger receipt, but qual¬ 
ity irregular, either unripe or soft, so that few 
bring the toj) price. Cranberries selling slowly 
and at low prices. This Is a fruit that custom 
has branded for holiday use to such an extent 
that its general worth is not recognized. As a 
tart sauce for everyday use it is excellent, and 
when prepared in this way the sugar bill is 
not excessive.

VEGETABLES. 
Demand for potatoes has slackened materially 
owing to the extreme i)rice8 prevailing, and 
dealers who found it necessary to move their 
supplies have cut prices 50 cents to 81 per bar¬ 
rel whefl essential. The retail price in ordi¬ 
nary stores runs from five to seven cents per 
pound; when bought in this way the customer 
sees them weighed out and all defectives have 
to be discarded, which may entail the loss of 
four quarts to a peck on a sack. One strong 
feature of the wholesale market is the fact 
that the demand for seed is at hamT, and it 
would seem probable that a normal acreage 
will be planted. There is no probability of 
crop competition from Europe this year and per¬ 
haps not for three or four years. Xo doubt 
small seed will be used to some extent and un¬ 
usual economy in cutting will be practiced, but 
the demand is sure to be large and to have a 
material effect on the general market for the 
next montli or six weeks. Cabbage remains at 
the high mark Recently noted. Old is very 
scarce, and new sells readily at 85 to 8i> per 
barrel when fairly good. At retail small heads 
cost 30 to 50 cents. Onions are still held high, 
but 'the market is weaker. All green stuff is 
high, owing to damage in the producing sec¬ 
tions and the zero weather encountered in ship¬ 
ment. The high prices,' especially of potatoes, 
cabbage and onions, have stirred up the con¬ 
sumers. anA small food riots, with destruction 
of goods in store have occurred in some parts 
of the city, and some retailers are afraid to 
stock up again until they can sell cheaper. All 
sorts of propagandists find proof of their special 
RURAL NEW-YORKER 
notions In the present food situation, and some 
newspapers are ready to print any freak idea 
that comes along. One of the most ridi.ulous 
is the claim, evidently made by those wlio are 
working for a food embargo, that the high 
prices of cabbage and potatoes are caused by 
the immense quantities of these products that 
we have exported to the allied armies in Europe. 
The assumption that under the present expen¬ 
sive and difficult shipping conditions anyone 
should try transatlantic shipment of products 
containing 80 to 90 per cent, of w’ater is ridi¬ 
culous, but doubtless some believe it, and pub¬ 
lic sentiment for an embargo is increased to 
that extent.
