Products, Prices and Trade 
NEW YORK, NOVEMBER 26, 1919. 
These prices and notes are believed to 
he fairly representative of the current of 
trade here. The range given in the quo¬ 
tations covers the qualities on hand at the 
time. The best grades of moet fruits and 
vegetables, live stock and poultry on sale 
one week may be much better or poorer 
than next week’s offierings, so that a 
lower top price on such products does not 
necessarily mean a lower general market. 
This does not apply to butter, cheese and 
eggs, which are more thoroughly stand¬ 
ardized. 
MILK PRICES. 
New York, for December, $3.68 per 100 
lbs. for 3 per cent milk at points 200 to

DRESSED POULTRY. 
Extreme prices, up to 56c wholesale, 
were reported for some Maryland dry 
picked turkeys. The general run, includ¬ 
ing Southern, ranged mainly between 44 
and 48c. The weather was favorable un¬ 
til Wednesday, when it turned warmer, 
with rain. At retail turkeys brought 55 
to 65 cents, more in some sections of the 
city where expensive delivery is demanded 
by buyers. The demand for chickens was 
light. Geese were in surplus and ap¬ 
parently not wanted. In some cases 
choice geese wholesaled 15 to 20c per lb. 
lower than turkeys.

WOOL. 
The Government announces auctions at 
Boston, Dec. 9-12, approximately 15,000,- 
000 lbs. of foreign wool, including 200,000 
lbs. from Iceland, and about 4,000,000 
lbs. domestic. Other sales will occur at 
Boston in January. Recent business 
there is reported at: New York and 
Michigan unwashed delaine, 83 to 85c; 
half-blood, 80 to 81c; fine unwashed. 65 
to 66c. Ohio and Pennsylvania unwashed 
delaine, 88 to 89c; half-blood combing, 
82 to 83c. New England half-blood. 70

GRAIN. 
The Government price on No. 2 red 
wheat at New York is $2.37% ; corn. No. 
2, yellow. $1.67; oats, No. 2, white, 84e; 
rye, $1.63; barley, $1.50. 
MILL FEED. 
Business is reported quiet at the fol¬ 
lowing wholesale figures in New York: 
City bran. $45; middlings, $47 to $58; 
red" dog, $68 to $69; rye middlings, $48; 
oat feed, $28.50; cottonseed meal, $80.50; 
linseed meal, $80. 
POPCORN. 
There have been many inquiries as to 
a market for this product. Considerable 
of the supply here is furnished by a large 
Chicago seed house that puts the corn up, 
shelled, in one-pound cartons, at present 
retailing here at 17c. Popcorn on the ear 
retails from 12 to 20c. Many, people 
think that when left on the ear its pop¬ 
ping qualities are more reliable, and this 
is probably true unless care is taken to 
have it well cured before shelling. If 
permitted to heat and sweat, even to the 
extent ordinary corn does in curing, it is 
likely to be poor. Wholesale buyers will 
not make a price on popcorn without 
seeing it or knowing something definite 
about it. Most of the general commission 
houses handling fruit, vegetables, etc., 
will receive popcorn and sell it at as good 
price as they can. Growers who have a 
few baskets for sale that they cannot 
dispose of locally can send it to their 
regular commission man in the city. It 
will be well, however, to look up the 
chances with some of the candy makers 
in the nearest large town.

Round or Square Silo 
Which should I erect, a round or a 
square silo, and why? I have plenty of 
timber from which I can have the frame 
of the square silo sawed. F. E. B. 
Roxbury, N. Y. 
Unquestionably a round silo is superior 
in all ways to a square one. It takes less 
material; it can be built more quickly; it 
keeps silage better, and it can be more 
easily repaired. If you have timber for 
the frame of the square silo, why not have 
it sawed out into staves, 2x4 or 2x6? 
Then have these staves planed and ton- 
gued and grooved. If you want a 30-ft. 
silo, get the staves out in lengths of 14 
and 16 ft. and then break joints with 
them. With his own timber a man should 
be able to build a round silo without hav¬ 
ing to buy any more than the iron hoops 
and the cement for making the concrete 
foundation. H. E. b.
