Platform Prices 
The N. Y. platform price is 
the market during the past week. In fact it 
was due to this “short” interest that the 
market went through the fractional advance 
on Monday and Tuesday. Just what will come 
of the market in the near future is very diffi¬ 
cult to predict especially since the June deal is 
not over. Reports coming in indicate that 
pastures are thin and it may be that we will 
see the high tone again. Perhaps some guess 
may be made on the action of the market this 
week when it settled on Wednesday and Thurs¬ 
day but came back late Thursday with a half 
cent gain. A great deal depends on the quality 
of arrivals. There have been sortie very 
pronounced defects, some marks showing acidy 
flavor and oily character. These defects are 
going to create a spread between fancy marks 
and ordinary stock.

CHEESE MARKET FIRM 
There is every reason to believe that we are 
gomg to have a firm cheese market for a while 
especially on the higher grades of New York 
State flats. Most of the trading reported on 
the 27th ranged from 20 to 21c on fancy 
special, fresh, State whole milk flats. However, 
the amount of business going on at the outside 
ngure is relatively small being confined to a 
few pet marks. Most fancy goods are turning 
a ^ 20 cents. The coming of warmer weather 
has helped the demand for market milk and as 
a result cheese production has been reduced 
in some sections of the State. In the West the 
make is running along about on par with last 
year. Most of the full grass cheese that, is 
offered is classed as fancy and is quoted any¬ 
where from 20 to 20%c. Offerings of average 
ACTIVE DEMAND FOR BROILERS 
There has been an active demand right 
through the entire week for live express 
broilers both white and colored. The warm 
weather has naturally helped the sale of 
broilers while the market on live fowls has been 
more or less slow. The market on fowls 
arriving via freight has been particularly slow 
and the freight market has had a certain effect 
on the express market. The express broiler 
market is holding firm. Colored marks are 
bringing anywhere from 40 to 43c with White 
Leghorns, over 2 pounds, bringing from 35 to 
37c. Average run White Leghorns are 32 to 
34c while small stock is down to 26 to 30c. 
With the coming of warm weather people in 
the Metropolitan district have taken to the 
“open spaces” by automobile and fried chicken 
constitutes an important part of the lunch. 
That is one reason why broilers are over¬ 
shadowing fricasse stock. 
Fresh killed broilers are in good demand and 
the market is ruling steady and firm for fancy, 
both dry-packed and iced. However, many 
offerings lack quality and naturally these are 
shaded and have to take a lower price. Fresh 
killed fowls are going into storage chiefly 
because full prices cannot be realized.

During the past week there was a slight rise 
and fall of the butter market. On Monday 
the 23rd, the market was firm and trading was 
POTATO MARKET FIRM 
The market has turned very firm on fancy 
Southern potatoes, due primarily to temporary 
light receipts of North Carolina and Virginia 
stocks. For a while receipts from these two 
States sold as high as $5.25 to $5.50 a barrel.

prices were on the upward trend during the som ® disposition on the part of some operators 
previous week. However, the improvement tn °' ru -’ - J ‘ 1 ■’ ’ 
on 
in the market was well sustained until Wednes¬ 
day when the fractional advance up to 43% 
cents on 93 score and 42% cents on 92 score 
caused the market to break under its own 
weight. 
High butter prices in New York have 
caused heavier shipments from other 
cities, especially Chicago, 
of the heavy differential. 
It was quite evident on Tuesday that the 
position of the market was strained and by the 
25th indications were clear that the receivers 
were willing to accept slightly lower prices. 
The market went down a full cent leaving it the 
same as last week. Supplies are coming in 
freely and good production is reported in 
nearly all sections of the country. We are 
undoubtedly in the high point of production 
and although the outlook for the “make” is 
favorable, hot weather will undoubtedly create 
a large increase in the consumption of fluid

New Jersey and Long Island may be expected 
to break into the market with their early 
Cobblers in the near future. 
The Long Island potato crop looks good. 
Much needed rains came on the 25th and 27th. 
In some sections there is complaint of very 
heavy damage from the Colorado potato 
beetle, or common potato bug. Your reporter 
was in one field in Valley Stream section of 
Nassau County where the vines were red with 
bugs. This however, is not general throughout 
the county, most fields showing an unusually 
healthy condition. Potatoes in the Hicksville 
section on the plains look especially fine.

to shade a little. The market is not settled on 
present prices. If there is any reduction it will 
h^ a pd if our guess is right, prices 
will hold. Receipts have continued to show a 
decrease especially in the case of fancy fresh 
goods and there is little likelihood of a reverse 
setting in. This has not been true of the more 
ordinary stocks and with a gradual rising 
account mar ket there has been a slight tendency to¬ 
ward accumulations with a result that prices 
on these average goods have eased off slightly. 
During the hot weather, in fact right through 
the summer shippers will have to pay a great 
deal of attention to the quality of their eggs. 
Quality is just as strong and important a 
factor as is size, shape and color and if eggs 
are held any length of time poor inferior quality 
is going to qut their value and lower prices are 
going to be received. The man who can ship 
eggs every day or so and who stores those 
which he holds in a cool place, will not have so 
much trouble. The fellow who stores 
GRAINS AND FEED 
According to New Aork State Department 
of Farms and Markets, the following prices 
prevailed, through billed from Western points; 
The quotations given in this report show the approximate 
prices at which feed can be purchased per ton, and grain per 
bushel, m straight carlots delivered on tracks at points in the 
different freight zones as indicated. Mixed carlots cost 
approximately $ 2.00 per ton more. 
Retail feed and grain prices vary with different local dealers 
depending upon their individual costs of doing business’ 
volume handled etc. In the case of feeds the retail pricel 
may sometimes be as high as $5 per ton above the wholesale 
prices given m this report. 
Wheat market has declined slightly from high point of 
recent advance but market continues generally firm. Weatherl 
more favorable in both spring and hard winter wheat belts. New- 
wheat being marketed in Southwest. Quality of shipments 
good. Corn reaches new high price level. Good

POOR HAY FLOODS MARKET 
Arrivals during the past week have been 
heavy. Every day has seen between 80 and 
90 cars arriving and some receipts by boat. 
The majority of these receipts are made up of 
small bales of lower grade stock from the West 
and Canada. There is not enough demand for 
this low grade stuff to absorb the supply and as 
a result the market is dragging and naturally

MEATS AND LIVE STOCK 
During the early part of the week ending 
■Tune 28 the live calf market was fairly firm. 
Prime veals were selling up to $11.50, some 
reaching $11.75. However, by the middle of 
the week receipts began to pile up with the 
result that on Wednesday the trading, which 
due to the hot weather turned slow, the market 
weakened with a reduction of about 50 per 
cent., placing prime veals at $11 with most 
sales ranging from $9.50 to 10.50. Live spring 
lambs have been selling well, which marks 
have not shown top grades. However, only a 
few fancy have been received and are generally 
quoted at $11.50. The market is dull and very 
weak on common to medium stock. 
The market on country dressed veal calves 
is about the same as the live calf market. 
Trading is dull and unsatisfactory. With a 
fair supply there is not much hopes of condi¬ 
tions bettering inasmuch as many of the 
arrivals are more or less musty and unattrac¬ 
tive. In this heavy weather shippers should 
ice more heavily. 
Over 50,000 pounds of milk were produced 
during the month of May on the farm of Henry 
Morgenthau, Jr., publisher of American 
Agriculturist. Mr. Morgenthau’s dairy 
herd is made up of pure bred Holsteins, several 
of the individuals being daughters of the 
famous bull, Dutehland Colantha Sir Inka. 
The farm is located at Hopewell Junction, 
Dutchess County, N. Y.
