Size! 
Tjvery man who makes his Kvin^ milk- 
infe cows knows that size is one of the 
best reasons for Holsteins. 
Size Means: 
Capacity - Ruggedness - Economical 
Production - Strong Calves that Live - 
Ability to Turn Rough Feed Into Milk - 
More Meat Value at the End of 
Their Milking Days

CAE SHORTAGE HELPS POTATO 
MAEKET 
P OTATOES were in demand early 
last week due to car shortage. This 
condition was quickly corrected and the 
market turned decidedly weaker. 
“States” sold in the railroad yards 
from the cars at $2 @ 2.25 per 150-lb. 
sack depending on quality. Shippers 
were offering bulk at $1.30 @ 1.40 cwt. 
delivered New York. 
“Long Islands” continued firm. 
Farmers on North Side were hauling 
for from 80 @ 85c per bushel; on the 
South Side from 90 @ 95c, a few $1. 
ONION MARKET QUIET 
^ Receipts of onions from State sec¬ 
tions are of poor quality and the market 
tends lower, temporarily at least. De¬ 
mand is more quiet. New York State 
shipments to date are far below last 
year to same date. Ohio and Indiana 
have shipped over twice as much as last 
year. Central and Western N. Y., yel¬ 
low, No. 1 best sold at $2.65@ 2.75 per 
prompt sale for best qualities. No im¬ 
provement in market for ordinary 
stock.

EGG MARKET BREAKS AGAIN 
The mild weather and increasing re¬ 
ceipts caused wholesale egg prices to 
drop sharply again last week. The top 
quotation on New Jersey hennery 
whites uncandled, extras February 1, 
was 48 @ 50c compared with 55 @ 57c 
a week previous. Other nearby hen¬ 
nery white extras, were down to 47c, as 
compared with 52 (3) 53c the week previ¬ 
ous. Nearby gathered whites shipped 
by country collectors ranged from 43 @ 
46c, compared with 47 @ 51c a week 
before. Pullets are improving in qual¬ 
ity and have declined less. 
The express shipments from nearby 
sections continue to show a wide va-

Inquiries from California last week 
indicated fear of shortage of onions 
there, so that Pacific Coast shipments 
may not come into competition with 
Eastern onions this year as last. 
CABBAGE MARKET FIRM 
Cabbage holds steady at good prices. 
Some Danish variety State cabbage 
brought as high as $35 per ton at New 
York. Shippers paid farmers as high 
as $20 @ 24 per ton, but generally 
under $20. Total carlot shipments of 
old cabbage this season are nearly 6,000 
cars ahead of entire season last year. 
New Florida and Texas shipments are 
about one-third those to date last year. 
FANCY APPLES IN DEMAND 
Receipts of barreled apples continued 
fairly liberal last week and there was

Rost- 
riety in quality, size and coloi’. Nearby 
producers are often dissatisfied with 
prices obtained on mixed qualities, 
although their returns are as much as 
the market affords. Where it is im¬ 
possible for a shipper to sort his eggs 
thoroughly in case lots, it is desirable 
to separate the different qualities in 
each case. At least two grades should 
be made. All the uniformly large eggs, 
including no eggs weighing less than 2 
ounces, uniformly chalk-white and free 
from stains and bloodspots, should be 
put together. Any cream tinted eggs 
and undersized should go in with pul¬ 
lets. The very small eggs, commonly 
called “pewees” in the market, should 
be kept at home or shipped separately. 
It does not pay to try to “face up” 
cases of eggs with a layer of large 
eggs on top. Buyers always examine 
two or three layers in a case and if 
they find the top layer is not represent¬ 
ative of the rest of the case, they are 
likely to be suspicious and unwilling to 
bother with making a further examina¬ 
tion. Express shippers should always 
put a slip inside the case, listing the 
number of different classes of eggs in 
the case. Wherever possible, it is de¬ 
sirable to pool neighborhood shipments 
so as to make up case lots of uniform 
size, color and quality. 
ACTIVE DEMAND FOR CAPONS 
Although there has been a liberal 
supply of dressed capons from middle- 
western sections, the demand for them 
is active. Nearby shipments, 8 to 9 
pounds, sack weight, bring 40 @ 45c j»r 
pound dressed; 5 to 7 pounds wei^t 
bring 32 @ 40c per pound; full slips 
and poor 28 @ 31c. Capons should he 
graded closely as to size to bring out¬ 
side quotations. 
Turkeys are selling well at steady 
prices. There are few nearby dressed 
chickens in the market, but receipts are 
heavy from the West. Fowls in mod¬ 
erate supply and market steady. 
BUTTER CONTINUES TO DECLINE 
Wholesale quotations on all grades 
of butter at New York continued to de¬ 
cline, showing a total drop of 2^c in 
the week ending February 1. The out¬ 
let has been too slow to absorb exces¬ 
sive supplies of fresh goods. 
Stocks on hand in the wholesale mar. 
ket caused buyers to hold off and prices 
to drop. Retail prices have not come 
down sufficiently to increase consump¬ 
tion. Most of the big chain stores are 
now retailing fine quality creamery but¬ 
ter at 55 @ 57c, but smaller grocers 
and delicatessen shhps charge consider¬ 
ably more. Wholesale prices are still 
about 9 cents higher than a year ago. 
There is comparatively little storage 
stock to fall back on, but the production 
of fresh butter is larger. 
The outlook for cheese is for a grad¬ 
ual decline. Average run, whole milk 
flats, held, sold at 28 (S) 28^4c lb. 
HAY INVOICES LIGHTER 
Although the 33rd Street market was 
flooded with hay shipments last week, it 
is reported that invoices are lighter. 
No permits for shipments here are be¬ 
ing issued by the New York Central 
yet. Brooklyn terminals have been no 
better than Manhattan, but are be¬ 
ginning to clean up. Firm outlook for 
rye straw. A boat shipment of Cali¬ 
fornia alfalfa is reported on the way 
here. 
DRESSED CALVES IN DEMAND 
In spite of heavy receipts the market 
for country dressed calves held steady 
last week, because of active demand. 
On February 1, best country dressed 
calves sold at 20 @ 21c, lower grades 
14 (g) 19c. Hot-house lambs brought $14 
@15 each. Practically no country 
dressed pigs or beef coming now, ow¬ 
ing to difficulty of complying with City 
Health Depai*tment regulations. The 
demand for hot-house lambs is strong, 
but very slow for dressed pigs. 
LIVE STOCK LOWER EXCEPT 
LAMBS 
Live calves, steers, bulls and cows 
were in heavy receipt last week and 
prices tended a little lower. Lambs, 
however, held steady with a strong de¬ 
mand at $15.50 per cwt. for primes.. 
Most of the lambs now are coming from 
the West, the New York season being 
about over. On February 1, top pi'ice 
on calves was around 15c per lb., on 
steers, 9c per lb., bulls, common to 
good, $2.50 @ 3.95 per cwt.; cows, a 
few choice at $5.20 per cwt., common 
$1.50. Receipts of cows and bulls were 
especially heavy 
■ MILL FEEDS AND OIL M F.AT. 
LOWER 
Oil meal in the Buffalo market de¬ 
clined another 50c per ton last week 
and. cottonseed meal, 43 per cent 
dropped 25c. Bran and spring midd¬ 
lings were $1 ton lower and choice flour 
middlings 50c lower. White hominy 
also dropped $1 per ton. 
Quotations at Buffalo, carlots f. o. b. in '100- 
lb. sacks, January 31, were : Gluten feed, 
$46.55@47 ; Cottonseed meal 36%, $48@48.50: 
Cottonseed meal 43%, $53.75@54.25 ; Oilmeal 
33% to 34% local billed, $51.50@52 : Dried

$32.75@33 : Choice flour middlings, $35,25@ 
35.75 : White hominy, $3'4.80@35.30. 
Buffalo prices on feed grains showed 
few changes. Oats were down Ic 
bushel and rye was 14 c lower. 
CASH GRAIN PRICES CHANGE 
Quotations on cash grains both at 
New York and Chicago show numerous 
small changes since last weeks’ re¬ 
view. Fear that war may result from 
the European situation sent prices up 
on January 31, but the nervousness of 
. the market left the prospect very un¬ 
certain as to future trend. Prices on 
February 1, follow:
