SUPPLIES liberal WITH GRADUAL DOWN- 
AVARD PRICES ON GREEN VEGETABLES. 
Native and Southern truck is coming 
in freely. Prices hold about as well as 
could he expected. As one North Mar¬ 
ket street commission man sums it up: 
“The stuff is arriving liberally and busi¬ 
ness is good. I’rodiicers as a class ought 
to be getting their money back for high 
cost of production, and a little more, but 
there is not much evidence of the fancy 
profits that some were looking for. It is 
only the good yield that saves the situ¬ 
ation in some lines. Prices are working 
lower but that ustially happens ;is the 
season grow’s later.” Asparagus con¬ 
tinued later than usual, and the total 
yield Avas pretty good. Recent sales were 
around .$3.50 jier box. Beets are in¬ 
creasing and jjrice is four cents per 
hunch. Beet gre_ens are 15c to 20c box. 
Carrots hold at 50c dozen bunches, some 
are higher, hut many Avei-e pulled too 
soon. Gukes are .$5 to $5.50 box, native. 
Rhubarb is .50c; lettuce, 20 to 40c; scul¬ 
lions, 75c; radishes, 50c and hard to sell; 
turnips, 50c. Peas are all sorts of prices 
from day to d;iy. One farmer told of re- 
fu.sing ,$2.,50 per bn. the day before the 
lourth. hut had to offer them at .$1.50 
later the same day. A fair average quo- 
Litiqn now is $1.75. fVbbage is .$3 hhl.” 
Aative ,Summer squa.shes apjiearod about 
the oth, and liaA’e held fairly AA'ell at .$1 
potatoes loaver. 
M hat few old potatoe.s AA'ere carried 
over into .Tuly sold steadily enough at .$6 
to $7 per barrel, but the market for the. 
ne\y crop has been weak and uneven, 
partly to the potatoes themseB’es. 
I hav’en’t had a first-class shipment this 
season,” one dealer insisted. “They sell 
anywhere from $5 per barrel down to .$3, 
and I consider we do well to get the lo-w 
price for w’hat used to sell for about ,$1. 
GroAvers seem to put up anything they 
dig, thinking there is a shortage, but 
there isn’t.” Said E. M. Ely: “B.'st 
lots are $4.75, hut tending low’er. The 
pack is improving someAvhat. Early 
Southern potatoes are poor keepers and 
might to be used Avithin a Aveek or so. 
Demand is good, bu^ receipts are large 
from YYrginia and northward.” Some of 
the farm bureaus are putting out a new 
form of jiotalo contract Avhich guaran¬ 
tees the producer shall receive not less 
than $1.50 per bu., but if the market is 
higher at date of shiiiment, he gets the 
market price. This is for delivery in 
ba^?s at I^oston. A similar contract guar- 
antees $6 or more per bushel for beans. 
These contracts are with manufacturers, 
Avho Avill sell the produce to their help. 
A Avell-knoAvii potato broker remarked 
Avith a touch of sarcasm : “As the busi¬ 
ness men urged everybody to rai:e pota¬ 
toes, it is fair that they should help in¬ 
sure against the consequences. The in¬ 
experienced grower is confronted Avith a 
cost price of about .$4 per bushel for his 
potatoe.s, his fertilizer costs aii exorbi¬ 
tant sum, labor is not only scarce, lint 
higher than eA’er, daily provisions foi* 
laborers much more, freight rates higher, 
packages very expensive, in fact the cost 
of production and marketing Avill far ex¬ 
ceed his anticipations. Net results Avill 
doubtless fall far heloAV his expectations 
unless some standard price is fixed for 
v.arious vegetables. If the outcome of 
his first season’s experience proves disap¬ 
pointing and disastrous financially then 
his confidence is destroyed and drastic 
measures will have to be taken another 
.A'ear to force a continuance of liome-gar- 
deuing.” 
ACTIVE TRADE IN .STRAAVBERRIES. 
Native straAvherrles declined fast under 
liberal receipts but cid not reach the ex¬ 
tremely low prices of last year, although 
dropping to around 7 cents, some days. 
Keeping (jnality has boon much better 
this season, yet many of the berries Avere 
soft. Avatery and poor. The general range 
at the sea.soii’s height Avas 7 to 18c. 
Fancy lots from the South Shore ranged 
from 15c to 30c. Said Hall & Cole: 
“Receivers must clean up at some price. 
If stock is held back it is nearly Avorth- 
less by the time it reaches consumers. 
Shippers think only of the trip to Bo.stoii, 
hut the berries have to be sold, reshipped, 
perhaps to Maine and then Avait until 
the consumer uses them. Most of the na¬ 
tive berries are a . ixed lot, often sev¬ 
eral types and degrees in one box, and 
they are too soft to handle Avell. This 
year many of them seem diseased and 
started to go wrong before shipment. 
APPLES MAY BE LIGHT YIELD IN NEAY 
ENGLAND. 
Dealers are no longer talking about a 
coming big crop of Winter apples in New 
England. The opinion seems quite gen¬ 
eral that the set of fruit was disappoint¬ 
ingly light, and there is some talk about 
small apples dropping off. Dealers urge 
seriously the need of special effort to in¬ 
crease the home trade. Said A. H. 
Weeks : “Western groAvers have held the 
Eastern market by not allowing the indi¬ 
vidual grower to manage his crop, but by 
forming fruit growers’ associations Avlficli 
control, grade, pack and sell all the crop.s, 
and by giving exclusive sale of all East¬ 
ern shipments to Eastern selling agents, 
a policy which, combined with a liberal 
amount of advertising, keeps the Western 
apple before the public, and this Western
