Buffalo Markets 
The Winter has been so light so far 
that it was easy to keep almost all sorts 
of green produce, and it has been plenty 
at moderate prices as a rule. Winter 
squash has naturally gone up a little, but 
is still pretty low. Cabbage remains 
cheap. Most bushel vegetables are about 
as low as usual. Dairy products keep 
up, as do eggs, though the latter are not 
as strong as formerly. Only off grades 
of poultry are weak. Apples are strong 
and rather high. Potatoes are stronger; 
receipts rather light, at 75c to $1.40 per 
bu.; sweets, $3 per hamper. Apples are 
from $1 per bu. for common to $5 to $6 
per bbl. for ungraded Greenings and 
Kings, and $5.50 to $7.50 for A Spys 
and Kings. Onions are about as plenty 
as ever at 60c to $1 per bu. for home 
grown. Beans are as high as ever at 
$6,30 to $7.80 per bu. for all grades. 
Vegetables are quiet at $1.75 to $2.25 
for cabbage, and $3 to $3.25 for squash, 
both per 100 lbs. Green and wax beans 
are $4 to $7.50 per hamper; carrots, SOc 
to $1.10; parsnips, $1.25 to $1.50; spin¬ 
ach, $1.75 to $2; yellow turnips, 60 to 
90c; white turnips, 60 to 75c, all per bu. 
Brussels sprouts, 18 to 24c per qt.; 
celery, $1 to $1.50 per bunch ; cucumbers, 
$3.50 to $4 per doz.; lettuce. $1.25 to 
$1.50 per box ; endive, 10 to 22c per lb.; 
peppers, $6 to $6.50 per case; radishes, 
25 to 30c per doz. bunches. 
Fancy and Southern fruits are steady 
at $5 to $6.50 for oranges; $4.50 to $5.50 
for lemons ;$2.50 to' $6 for grapefruit, 
Havanas leading, all per box ; $1 per 100 
for limes; $6.50 to $8.50 per box for 
pineapples; $9 to $10 per bu. for cran¬ 
berries ; $6 to $7 per cask for Malaga 
grapes. 
Dairy prices are not much changed, at 
67 to 70c for creamery; 56 to 62c for 
dairy ; 50 to 61c for crocks, and 43 to 
45c for common, with 28 to 34c for oleo¬ 
margarine. Cheese is steady at 38 to 39c 
for best domestic; 41 to 42c for long 
horns, and 33 to 35c for limburger. Eggs 
weak at 67 to 72e for hennery ; 65c for 
State and Western candled; 56c for 
storage. 
Poultry is not very strong, receipts 
being liberal, especially of live, selling 
151 
at 43 to 45c for dressed turkey; 36 to 
38c for fowl; 28 to 37c for chicken ; 26 
to 27c for old roosters; 40 to 45c for 
ducks, and 28 to 33c for geese, live poul¬ 
try being 3 to 5c less than dressed. Rab¬ 
bits are active and firm for good grades 
at 60 to 75e for cottontails and 90e to 
$1 for jacks, per pair. 
Maple syrup will wait for the new 
crop. Honey is 28 to 30c for white 
comb; 32 to 35c for extracted; 26e for 
buckwheat, per lb. 
The hay market is steady at $22 to $27 
for various grades of baled Timothy on 
track. This is somewhat lower than 
formerly. j. w . c . 
N. Y. State Breeders’ Association 
The N. Y. State Breeders’ Association 
will hold their annual meeting at the 
Iroquois Hotel, Buffalo. N. Y., Jan. 29-31. 
It is expected that this meeting will be 
one of the largest and most important 
of any that has been held in the State. 
Many noted speakers and specialists from 
other States have been secured. Wayne 
Dinsmore. secretary of the Percheron 
Society of America, will be one of th^ 
principal speakers at this meeting, the 
title of his address being “Clearing the 
Way for Draft Horses.” While the State 
Breeders’ Association meeting is an an¬ 
nual event, and a gathering of manv 
breeders of all kinds of purebred live¬ 
stock, the program is not confined to live¬ 
stock matters, but inclu'des many other 
important subjects relating to present 
agricultural conditions at . home and 
abroad. The work of the program com¬ 
mittee has been directed towards making 
this meeting of special interest and bene¬ 
fit to the average farmer and small 
breeder whose problems have been many 
in meeting the changing conditions of 
farm operations which are requiring 
greater and cheaper production and better 
distribution. e. s. akin.

International 
For Country 
ALL the motor trucks offered 
^'for farmers’ use, the International 
should be, and we believe is, the most 
satisfactory. 
This Company knows the country — 
roads, farms, and all. Farmers know our 
standards of quality and service. When 
we offer a motor truck for farmers’ use, 
it is understood that the truck will do the 
work expected of it at a cost farmers can 
afford. 
The International Motor Truck is built 
for carrying capacity loads on country 
roads. It gives satisfactory everyday 
service, the kind that farmers must have. 
When an emergency comes — a tough 
piece of road, a steep hill, a rush trip, a 
bad day — the International has the re- 
Motor Trucks 
Road Hauling 
serve power, speed, and endurance to 
carry it through. 
Mr. L. C. Henry of Utica, Minn., pur¬ 
chased an International Motor Truck to 
haul his live stock and farm produce to 
market and to bring return loads from 
town. He says, “We use the truck for 
nearly every kind of hauling. It saves 
more time than any other machine in our farm 
service.” Five of Mr. Henry’s neighbors bought 
International Motor Trucks when they learned, 
from his experience, what a useful economical 
farm machine he had. 
There are four sizes of International Motor 
Trucks —1,500, 2,000, 3,000 and 4,000 pounds 
capacity, with bodies suitable for every kind of 
hauling. We have a dealer, a branch house, or 
a service station somewhere near you, where the 
line can be seen, or we will send full information 
promptly if you will write us.
