Products, Prices and Trade 
NEW YORK, DECEMBER 18, 1010. 
Those prices and notes are believed to 
bo 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 most fruits and 
vegetables, live stock and poultry on sale 
one week may he much better or poorer 
than next week’s offerings, 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 TRICES. 
New York, for December, $3.08 per 100 
lbs. for 3 per cent milk at points 200 to 
210 miles from the city, with 4c per 100 
additional for every tenth of 1 per cent 
butterfat over 3. 
PUTTER. 
No special change in price is noted. 
The market is slow, except on best grades. 
Much of the stock shows cold weather 
defects, and prices on such lots have to 
be cut accordingly.

FRUITS. 
Apples are rather dull: pears scarce. 
Cranberries badly hit by the sugar short¬ 
age. Oranges lower, except on best In¬ 
dian River and California Valencia. 
The situation now takes on a mid¬ 
winter aspect, as cold weather has set in 
early, as it did two years ago, though not 
as severe as it was then, though it would 
be if we somehow had not escaped most 
of the heavy weather bound this way 
from the Canadian Northwest. As a rule 
prices are much the same, though potatoes 
are higher and butter goes up slowly, 
although called easy. Eggs have passed 
the dollar mark at retail, but are not 
strong now. The poultry market is 
strong. 
Apples are firm, but demand is light at 
$2 to $3.25 per bu. for firsts, and $1.25 to 
$2 for seconds; pears in small quantity 
at $1.50 for low grades to $4 for best 
Beurre Clairgeau and Beurre d’Anjou, 
home raised ; potatoes firm, $1.80 to $2.10 
for good grades, per bu.; beans firm. $4.20 
to $6.80; onions firm, $3.75 to $4 for 
homegrown, all per bu. 
Vegetables are rather plenty, but firm 
at 24c for Lima beans and 25 to 30c for 
Brussels sprouts, per qt.; $1 to $1.25 for 
beets; $1 to $1.50 for carrots; $1.60 to 
$1.75 for parsnips; 50 to 60c for pump¬ 
kins ; $1.25 to $1.50 for spinach; $1 to 
$2.25 for white turnips, all per bu.; $3 
to $3.25 for cauliflower; $2.25 to $2.75 
for yellow' turnips, all per bbl.; $3 to 
$4.25 for cabbage; $2.50 to $3 for Win¬ 
ter squash, all per 100 lbs.; 40 to 90c 
for fair to good celery, per bunch ; $1 to 
$1.25 for hothouse lettuce, per box : 80c 
to $1 for endive, per doz.; 30 to 50c for 
parsley; 25 to 30c for radishes, all per 
doz. bunches; 28 to 40c for tomatoes, per 
lb.; no cucumbers offering. 
Butter is 65 to 75c for creamery; 60 
to 65c for dairy ; 58 to 68c for crocks ; 48 
to 52c for common ; 29 to 38c for oleo¬ 
margarine ; cheese is 32 to 36c for daisies 
and longhorns; 40 to 60c for Swiss; eggs 
are in light demand and supply at SI to 
85c for hennery ; 78 to SOc for candled; 
53 to 54c for storage; market breaking. 
Poultry is firm on light offerings, at 45 
to 48c for dressed turkeys; 27 to 36c for 
fowl; 27 to 33c for chicken ; 22 to 25c 
for old roosters; 38 to 40c for ducks; 28 
to 31c for geese; with dressed poultry 3c 
up higher than live. Rabbits. 50 to 65c 
for cottontails; 90c to $1.25 for jacks, 
per pair. In the miscellaneous list maple 
sugar is 17 to 24c per lb.; syrup, $2 to 
$2.25; honey is 30 to 37c for Nos.l and 
2 extract; nuts are 10 to 12c for hick¬ 
ories ; 8 to 10c for walnuts, per lb. Hay 
is $12.50 for grades of Timothy.
