Buffalo Wholesale Markets 
Not much change has taken place in 
the produce markets. Prices are pretty 
"wand quite unsteady, but they are not 
likely to go much lower. Farmers com¬ 
plained so much that they could not sell 
their loads at any price, and were not 
allowed to peddle them about the city, 
that the mayor, acting under pressure of 
the consumers and the Housewives’ 
League, has suspended the license ordi¬ 
nance 00 days as an experiment. Quota¬

Fur Auctions Postponed 
The auction sales of furs in this coun¬ 
try and Canada, usually held in October, 
will be postponed until January. The rea¬ 
sons given are shortage of cash, restricted 
credit and a general feeling of apathy in 
the fur trade. 
Our market conditions are very poor 
here. There are just a few small towns; 
each farmer peddles his own produce 
out. and it is rather slow. Potatoes are 
$1.50 per bu.; eggs. SOc; butter. 50e; 
apples. 25c per peck. There is not much 
garden truck raised for market, as nearly 
everybody raises their own. Wheat is 
at present $2.25 per bu.: old oats. $1.50 
per bu.; rye. $1.70. Baled hay, $30 per 
ton.. Wheat was only half crop on ac¬ 
count of the fly. Rye was only two-thirds 
of a crop; oats took well; buckwheat is 
good in straw. It has been selling at 
$1.50 per bu. The outlook for the farmer 
does not look very good to me; it looks 
as though the farmer is a lover of land 
or he cannot work at anything else. The 
man who is making 10 per cent profit does 
not live in our neighborhood at the pres¬ 
ent prices of fertilizer, lime and labor. 
Price of labor is still going up. Produce 
direct from the farmer is going down, but 
after the middleman get it. it soars.
