POTATOES SELLING MORE 
FREELY 
P OTATOES sold more freely last 
week at slightly higher prices. State 
round whites. No. 1, sold in yards, bulk, 
per 180 lbs., mostly at $2.50. Farmers 
have not been hauling, due to bad weath¬ 
er. General price, 50c a bushel. “Long 
Islands” South Side have touched 95c 
a bu.; some very fancy, $1. The gen¬ 
eral price is 80c. The Maine shippers 
have been troubled with car shortage. 
Cabbage supplies continue light, 
Danish variety, white, selling at $30 
per ton, with probability of higher 
prices until Florida new cabbage be¬ 
comes more plentiful. 
APPLES SHOW LITTLE CHANGE 
Apple receipts were not heavy last 
week at New York, but prices showed 
little change. Demand very light for 
small-sized fruit and of poor to ordi¬ 
nary quality. Quotations, January 25, 
follow, per bbl., A grade:

EGG MABKET SLIGHTLY BETTER 
Egg prices recovered slightly and 
held fairly steady last week. Supplies 
of nearby eggs were cleaned up better 
than for some time past. The market 
for all fancy quality nearby eggs oi 
uniformly good size and chalk-white 
color, is steady at time of writing. 
Mixed sizes, cream color, and under¬ 
grades have to be sold at relatively low 
prices. 
What the market will do in the im¬ 
mediate future is very uncertain. The 
number of cases of eggs moved in the 
four largest national markets so far

S, B. DAVIS, 329 Amsterdam Ave., New York City 
this January has been somewhat less 
than last year, but considerably more 
than in 1921. The receipts at New 
York, however, have been greater. Buy¬ 
ers tend to turn from storage to fresh 
eggs now and cold storage stocks are 
not moving as rapidly as they were 
two weeks ago. The consumption of 
eggs or at least the wholesale trade 
output, dropped off in the week ending 
January 20, and was lower than during 
the same time last year. Easter and 
the Jewish Passover come at the 1st of 
April this year, which will cause an 
extra demand for March receipts. 
POULTRY SHIPMENTS HEAVY 
Dressed poultry supplies are in ex¬ 
cess of the demand. Quality of New 
York State shipments generally poor. 
Express shipments of live poultry from 
nearby have been very light, but met 
a slow market, fairly well supplied with 
WIRE FROM THE CONSIGNEE AS 
TO MARKET SITUATION. 
Strictly prime live veal calves brought 
$16.50 per cwt., January 25; other 
grades ranged from $16 downward. 
The market is active and steady. 
Country dressed calves were in heavy 
supply and demand slow, with market 
weaker. Country dressed pigs were 
not so plentiful but demand was slow. 
FEEDS GENERALLY HIGHER 
Although oil meal dropped $2.50 on 
the ton last week, the majority of other 
feeds showed slight advances. Gluten 
feed, standard spring bran, hard winter 
bran, standard spring middlings, choice 
flour middlings and yellow corn were 
all higher on January 24 than a week 
previous. Cottonseed meal continued 
at the same price, in spite of announce¬ 
ment from Washington that last gin¬ 
ning reports show a smaller cotton

freight shipments. Pigeons have been 
scarce, and, owing to good demand, 
prices have climbed up rapidly. 
BUTTER PRICES LOWER 
Liberal receipts of fresh butter, espe¬ 
cially importations, and a limited de¬ 
mand for consumption, keep the mar¬ 
ket weak. Prices are lower than a week 
previous by 2%c per lb. on creamery. 
Creamery, salted, high score, dropped 
to 50 to 50 %c lb. on January 25. Dan¬ 
ish, Argentine and New Zealand butter 
are offered in considerable quantities. 
Shipments are increasing from New 
York State localities that have until 
recently been shipping only milk. 
HAY MARKET OVERSUPPLIED 
The New York market is overstock¬ 
ed with hay. In the middle of last 
week there were estimated to be about 
1,200 carloads on hand sold and unsold. 
Mixed hay was not in demand. Ship¬ 
pers should remember that demand 
here is only for horse feeding hay. 
Rye straw is in demand and market 
steady at $24 @ $25 for No. 1. 
The Erie R. R. has announced that 
after January 26 it will allow no free 
lighterage on hay shipments to New 
York. This means that shipments can¬ 
not be reloaded and taken to another 
terminal point after they have once 
been delivered and sold, without pay¬ 
ment of extra fees. 
LAMBS BRING GOOD PRICES 
Prime State lambs were in light sup¬ 
ply last week and brought good prices. 
On January 25 live State lambs at 60th 
Street Live Stock Market, Manhattan, 
brought $15 to $16 cwt. For several 
days previous they were quoted at 
around $16. These prices are higher 
than at this time last year, and will 
likely draw many shipments. BE¬ 
FORE SHIPPING IT WOULD BE 
ADVISABLE TO GET ADVICE BY 
crop than originally estimated. Prices 
on mixed dairy feeds with high protein 
content were generally advanced in the 
last ten days. Quotations at Buffalo, 
carlots f. 0 . b. in 100 lb. sacks January 
24 were: 
Gluten feed, $ 16.55 @ 47 ; Cottonseed meal, 
36 per cent, $48 @ 48.50: Cottonseed meal, 
43 p^r cent, $54.25 @ 54.75; oil meal. 33 
per cent to 34 per cent, local billed, $52 P 
52,50; driex\ brewers’ grains (nominal) , $41) 
@50; standard spring bran, $33 @ 33.25; 
hard winter bran, $33.75 @ 34 : .stundard 
spring middlings, $3;i.75 @ 34 ; choice flour 
middlings, $33.75 @ 36.25; white hominy, 
$35.80 @ 36.30. 
CASH GRAINS DECLINE 
At New York and Chicago, cash 
grain quotations practically all declined 
last week, as a result of depression in 
the future market due to lack of export 
demand. Prices on January 26 follow: 
At New York: , 
No. 2 red wheat, $1.30 bushel : No. 2 hard 
winter, $ 1 , 291 / 2 : No. 2 yellow corn, 89 VC. 
No. 2 mixed corn, S8%c: No. 2 white oats, 
55%c: No. 3 white oats, 54c: rye for ex¬ 
port” $1.25 ; barley malting, 77 @ 79c ; buck¬ 
wheat, $1.93 @ 2.20. At Chicage —No. 3 
yellow corn, 71^2 @ 72c; No. 2 white oats, 
44 @ 45c ; barley, 60 @ 65c; rye, 87c.

The hands will have considerable 
effect on the tuning of a weak station, 
so that it is sometimes necessary to 
“tune too much,” as amateurs term i^t, 
and then remove the hands from the 
dials, when the adjustment will settle 
into the proper position. This can bo 
done with a little practice. The Ameri¬ 
can Agriculturist would be pleased to 
hear from readers who construct this 
set, as it is expected that some un¬
