Products, Prices and Trade 
NEW YORK. FEBRUARY 27, 1919. 
These prices and notes are believed to 
be fairly representative of the current of 
trade here: 
MILK PRICES. 
New York, for March, $3.91 per 100 
lbs., equivalent to 7.12 cents per quart 
for three per cent milk, with an addi¬ 
tional 4c per 100 for every one-tenth of 
one per cent extra butter fat, at points 
ir>0 miles from city. 
Prices to consumers remain the same 
as December and January, 16c for B and 
18c for A grade. The supply exceeds the 
demand at these prices, and in some sec¬ 
tions producers without a contract have 
been unable to find an outlet. A recent 
demand for sweetened condensed milk for 
export has, however, tended to improve 
conditions somewhat.

The situation still turns on the extra¬ 
ordinary weather. It was supposed that 
February at least would give us some 
cold weather, as it usually does when 
temperatures had been high up to that 
time, but all it did at the farthest was to 
avoid long, warm spells and so, it is 
hoped, has saved the fruit, though that 
is not entirely settled yet. Wheat raisers 
are still afraid of heaving land, "for the 
sun shines more than is safe at this time 
of year. 
The keeping of produce would have 
been easy if the sort of Winter that we 
are getting had been looked for. As it was, 
fruit and vegetables suffered from warmth, 
whereas last Winter there was much loss 
from freezing. For this reason, probably, 
apples have gone up fast of late and are 
now quoted at $10 for best 8py, King 
and Greening, with no first below $9. 
Even windfalls sell at $1.75 to $2 per bu. 
Potatoes are weak at 65c to $1.25 per

are very low. Cabbage is only 75c to 
$1.25 per 100 lbs. for old and $1.25 to 
$1.75 per hamper' for new Florida. Win¬ 
ter squash is only 1 $1.75 to $2 per 100 lbs. 
String beans are $(5.50 to $7 per hamper; 
beets, $1.25 to $1.60; carrots, 40 to 75c; 
parsnips, $1.25 to $1.40; spinach. $1.75 
to $2.25 ; white turnips, 75c to $1.25 : yel¬ 
low turnips. 50c to 65c, all per bu. Celery 
is high, at. $6 to $7 per Florida crate; to¬ 
matoes, $8 to $10; cauliflower, California, 
$1.50 to $1.75, all per crate. Lettuce, 
$2.25 per homegrown 2-doz. box; $2 to 
$5 per Florida hamper; cucumbers, $3 to 
$3.25 per doz.; shallots, 40 to 50c; rad¬ 
ishes, 20 to 25c; all per doz. bunches; 
peppers, 90c to $1 per hamper. 
Fancy and Southern fruits are quiet 
for citrus and active for bananas and 
pineapples. Quoted at $3.50 to $5 for 
oranges; $4 to $5 for lemons ; $3 to $6 
for grapefruit, per box; $1.25 to $1.50 
per 100 for limes; bananas. $2.75 to 
$4.50 per box; pineapples. $6.50 to $7.50

burger. Eggs run easier at 45 to 50c for 
hennery; 43 to 45c for candled. No stor¬

You Men,who Buy 
Farm Machinery— 
Know that it always pays to buy an A-l Machine because you get better work for a longer time with less repairs. 
Few people think of a furnace as a machine but that is just what it is, a machine for ^"hang¬ 
ing so much fuel into so much heat and delivering the heat where you want it. 
Buy your furnace just as carefully as you would any machine and you will select the 
N P-Sterling Furnace 
“ The One Register Furnace 99 
The furnace that is scientifically designed to get every bit of heat out of every lump of coal 
and discharge this heat through one register with so much force that it 
will heat the entire house evenly. 
This small diagram shows how the NP works and why it does better work. 
Remember that the success of any pipeless furnace depends upon the 
rapidity with which the air is forced through the furnace. The faster the 
circulation the more even the heat and the more rooms heated. 
A—Scientific Sterling construction insur¬ 
ing perfect combustion and saving fuel. 
B—Extra large heating dome which 
air passing around it more quickly 
and to higher temperature with less fire. 
C—Outside air passages keep the air cool way to the 
bottom of the furnace and so make the air flow very 
swiftly into and through the heating chambers D. and 
then pours it out with great force thru the register. 
These outside air passages are vital Sterling features. 
Here are some others: a cool cellar, feed door large 
enough fdY chunks of wood, heavy grey iron castings 
(no scrap used), special fire pot if natural gas and solid 
fuel are used, special three point dust and gas proof 
joints, extra large air moistener. 
It will certainly pay you to know about furnace con¬ 
struction before you buy a heating plant.

dealer, and see just what there is to this machine.
