Market Quotations 
NEW YORK, JANUARY S, 1020 
These prices and notes are believed to 
be fairly representative of the current of 
trade here. The range given in the quota¬ 
tions 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 be much better or poorer 
than next week’s offerings, so that a lower 
top price on such products does not neces¬ 
sarily mean a lower general market. This 
does not apply to butter, cheese and eggs, 
which are more thoroughly standardized. 
MILK TRICES 
New York, for January, $3.G9 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. 
BUTTER 
The market is somewhat weaker, with 
a decline of 5c on fresh creamery, and a 
smaller drop on storage. City 
-made 
and 
packing stock are very dull.

COTTON STATISTICS 
The cotton production of the world in 
1800 was 1.040.000 bales of 500 lbs. each. 
In 1850 it had only a little more than 
doubled. In 1900 it was 15.500,000 bales, 
and in 1918, 20.000.000. The United 
States and India are the two great pro¬ 
ducing sections. Twice since the Civil 
War the production of India was near or 
greater than that of this country—in 1865 
and 1871. The percentage of the world 
cotton crop consumed in this country in 
1860 was 10; in 1870. 14; in 1880.'16; 
in 1890^20; in 1900. 23; in 1910, 21; in 
1918, 37. The number of cotton spindles 
in the principal manufacturing countries 
in 1918 is given as: United States, 33.- 
700.000 ;Groat Britain, 57.000,000; Ger¬ 
many. 11.000.000: Russia. 8.000.000:

Chicks from Good Layers 
My 20 pullets in the present New Jersey con¬ 
test have averaged 25 eggs per head for the first 
eight weeks, from Nov. 1st to Dec. 2t>th. Only 
one pen did better than that. The average of all 
birds was 15 eggs each. 
My 10 pullets in the Connecticut contest have 
averaged 20 eggs each for the same time. Only 
two pens did better. The average of all birds 
was 11 eggs each. My birds made good yearlv 
averages in the Connecticut contest the two 
preceding years. 
The price of baby chicks for March and April 
is $22 per 100, if ordered now (eggs $12 per 100), 
closely related to my birds in the contests. 
Safe delivery guaranteed. A few chicks like 
these will pay more profit than many times their 
number of average chicks. Their extra hardiness 
more than pays the extra cost in the extra num¬ 
ber raised. At maturity the value of the pullets 
for profitable egg production is many times tbat 
of average pullets. 
I do not s-11 chicks or eggs selected from anv 
particular matings at any price. The only reser¬ 
vations from the entire stock are the few eggs I 
use for my own pedigree breeding purposes, for 
maintaining the best quality I can in the con¬ 
tinuance of my stock as an entirety. Every lot 
of chicks sent out is of the same quality as 
every other lot, as near as practicable.
