The market is in a strong position especially 
on creamery and city made, and prices have

Backing stock is decidedly scarce and upwards 
of one cent higher.

CHEESE. 
Brices at interior New York markets have 
a<lvam'ed about one-Iialf cent. Reports from 
Wisconsin are weaker. Business in the city is 
of moderate volfime owing to tlie high prices 
asked, and scarcity of desirable stock.

Supplies of gathered stock are large and 
quality quite irregular, so that prices of such 
lots are cut when it seems necessary to move 
them. Nearby white eggs of high grades are 
still scared, although the market is slightly 
weaker than at last report.

prices remain at previously reported levels, or 
even higher in some cases. Recent prices at 
Boston have been: New York and Michigan fine 
unwashed. 50 to 57; Delaine, 71 to 72; three- 
eighths blood, 73 to 74. Ohio and Bennsylvania 
half blood combing, 71 to 72; three-eighths 
blood, 74 to 75. Territory half blood! combing 
scoured, 1.45 to 1.50. 
FRESH FRUITS. 
Very little doing in old apples. A few new 
are on hand, but mainly of low quality. Straw¬ 
berries in large receipt and prices averaging 
low, as mucli of the fruit shows damage from 
rain. Raspberries and blackberries are slightly 
lower. Huckleberries remain high. Beaclies in 
largo suijply and mainly 
sliglitly higher.

VEGETABLES. 
A very wide range of prices on potatoes is 
not('d. Small siz(“s are much lower, in some 
cases down to $1.50 per barrel, but most sound 
large stock is being cleared out within the 
range of $4.25 to $5. Cabbage of excellent qual¬ 
ity is on hand wliolesaling at about $1 per bar¬ 
rel. String beans and lettuce are lower, the 
latter in very large sui)ply. Onions are plenti¬ 
ful from nearby as well ns Maryland and' the 
South, wholesaling at $1 per bushel or a trillo 
more. Tomato market in poor condition owing 
to the bad order of so many of the receipts.

Y OU can now raise any crop with Avery motor power—corn, cotton, pota¬ 
toes, etc.,'as well as grain crops. How to use motor power successfully 
for raising a crop planted in rows has been until now an unsolved problem. 
Now you can do it. Plow and harrow your ground with an Avery Tractor— 
—then plant and cultivate with an Avery Motor Planter-Cultivator. See this 
work done at the Fremont, Nebraska, Demonstration, August 6th to 10th. 
Avery Motor Planter-Cultivator a Wonder 
Plants or cultivates two rows at once. Single front 
puiding wheel runs between rows—double rear driv¬ 
ing wheels outside of rows. Turns short either way 
at ends to go back on next two rows. Costs less to 
operate than horses or mules. A great success. 
Motorize Your Farm the Avery Way 
First, select from the six sizes of Avery Tractors the 
size that exactly fits your size farm. No farm is too 
small or too large for an Avery. Six sizes from 6-10 
to 40-80 h.p.; fit every size farm. 
Then get one or more Avery Motor Planter-Cultiva- 
tora, as you may need and you have motor power for 
raising any crop on any size farm. 
Write for the interesting Avery Trac 
you many facts about raising any ci 
Why Avery Tractors Lead
