LIVE POULTRY IRREGULAR 
The live poultry market is off. This condi¬ 
tion even goes back to a week ago when ar¬ 
rivals were coming in for the Jewish holidays. 
Entirely too much mediocre stuff was shipped 
to New York, and this broke the market, as can 
be seen from the quotations. Fancy colored 
fowls via express are bringing from 29c to 
30c, while Leghorns are down as low as 15c 
and 16c. There is the whole story in a nut¬ 
shell. Just because the Jewish holidays de¬ 
manded live poultry was no excuse for sending 
in all the old stuff available. During the 
Jewish holidays is just the time that real fancy 
stuff will bring the premium. The holiday 
spirit induces folks to spend money for good 
stuff. Fancy goods during the Jewish holiday 
trading days brought good money, and in some 
cases there was just enough stuff to satisfy the 
trade. When it came to undergrades there 
was so much stuff on the market that it was 
actually a drug. 
The next Jewish holiday will be Octo¬ 
ber 13 and 14, and the market will be 
October 8, 9 and 10. It is better to have 
stuff in by the 9th. 
October 20 and 21 is another Jewish 
holiday, the Feast of Law. The best 
market days will be the 15th, 16th and 
17th. Ship so your stuff reaches New 
York at that time. At this time all 
Interstate Producers 
The Interstate Milk Producers’ Association 
(Philadelphia Price Plan) announces that 
receiving station prices or the price to farmers, 
in the 201 to 210-mile zone from Philadelphia 
for 3% milk is $2.19. In the 101 to 110-mile 
zone the price is $2.29. 
All the foregoing prices are the same as in 
September. 
BUTTER LOOKS UPWARD AGAIN 
The outstanding feature in the whole market 
this past week has been the better tone and 
more pessimistic and confident feeling that 
has permeated the butter trade. Buying 
interest has improved consistently and prices 
have reacted in accordance. Once more 92 
score butter is quoted at 38% to 39c with 
higher marks reaching 40c. The Jewish holiday 
on the 29th and 30th kept the market pretty 
quiet. Even on the 30th there was a better 
tone and buying was active in spite of the 
absence of the Jewish dealers. By Wednesday, 
October 1, trade bad become stimulated to a 
marked degree, and prices advanced. Shorten¬ 
ing of receipts and advices of cold weather 
with consequent falling off in production, 
coupled with this free trading, was responsible 
for the stronger tone and upward advance. 
It is reasonable to expect that if this condition 
continues we will see butter continue at this 
price and advance to some slight degree. 
As receipts of fancy fresh creamery decrease, 
we are going to see a greater widening of quota¬ 
tions and we may see some withdrawals from 
storage. Heavy storage holdings will tend to 
hold back any strong price advances. When 
prices get too high dealers are going to become 
more discriminating, and in order to keep their 
trade moving, will use storage stocks in pref¬ 
erence to the fresh goods. 
There has been considerable export trade 
during the past week. Most of the stock going 
forward is on consignment. Something like 
8,000 tubs were expected to go across during 
the week ending October 4. English markets, 
according to advices, are quite firm. 
CHEESE MARKET QUIET 
The cheese market is quite lifeless. Trading 
is light and asking prices in the country are 
unchanged. There is some movement re¬ 
ported in State flats, chiefly around 20)^ to 
21 Ujc. Fancy Septembers are held higher 
but are moving very slowly. The trade seems 
to be just strong enough to take care of the 
offerings at these prices. Any heavier make 
would undoubtedly cause a much weaker 
market. 
EGG MARKET STILL STRONG 
The Jewish holidays on September 29 and 30 
were responsible for some accumulations of 
near-by white eggs. However, this accumula¬ 
tion was not severe enough to embarrass the 
market. Receivers feel very confident that 
stocks will clear at unchanged prices. There 
was absolutely no trading in the market on 
Monday and Tuesday,* but Wednesday saw 
a resumption of trade to normal proportions. 
The firm tone on fancy eggs continues, and in 
view of advices there seems to be no reason 
for an immediate change in the next few weeks. 
Extremely fancy Jersey and other near-by 
hennery whites that are closely graded for 
interior quality and size are now selling any¬ 
where from 68c to 72c, depending on the pack 
kinds of prime poultry will be in de¬ 
mand. Notice the qualifying word, 
prime. 
GRAINS AND FEED 
Wheat turned sharply upward on October 2, 
gaining from 4% to 4%c at Chicago and 5 % to5ygc 
at Winnipeg. In face of this sharp upturn, there 
was no apparent let-up in European demand, 
which continues active. May wheat is now up 
to $1.51 %, the best figure since May, 1921, and the 
highest for the month of October, with the ex¬ 
ception of 1916. 
May corn went to $1.15 % and May oats went up 
to 62c or within of a cent of the best price on 
the crop. 
New York cash wheat F. O. B. for export for 
No. 2 hard winter is $1.60. Chicago cash wheat 
for No. 2 red is $1.49. 
According to New York State Department 
of Farms and Markets, the following prices 
prevailed September 27. 
The quotations given in this report show the approximate 
prices at which feed can be purchased per ton, and grain 
per bushel, in straight earlots through billed from Western 
points, delivered on track at points in the freight zones as 
indicated. Mixed earlots cost approximately 82 per ton more. 
Retail feed and grain prices vary with different local dealers 
depending upon their individual cost of doing business, volume 
handled, etc. In the case of feeds the retail price may some¬ 
times be as high as S5 per ton above the wholesale prices given 
in this report.

POTATOES STILL DULL 
Potato market continues its dull, weak tone 
in spite of everything. There seems to be 
practically nothing doing in that line in the 
market at all. Most business is being done in 
Green Mountains. North Shore Long Islands 
are bringing 65c to the farmer, while South Side 
are getting a nickel more. Some potatoes have 
been bought up-State for 40c a bushel f.o.b. 
shipping point (in central New York territory). 
Local markets are said to be paying more than 
this. However, where New York City prices 
are involved, carring price is 40c at the present 
time. Maine are being placed in New York 
City at $1.20 per cwt., which means about 50 
or 60c a cwt. f.o.b. 
There is no likelihood of any immediate 
change in the potato market. Digging on Long 
Island is in full swing and growers are shoving 
the stuff into the market as fast as they can. 
They won’t start storing for another week or 
so, anyway. This means that for the next two 
or three weeks we can look for practically the 
same conditions. Of course weather conditions 
may set in to throw this out of line, and if 
receipts are curtailed we will see more ad¬ 
vance, although it may be only temporary. 
APPLE MARKET EXCELLENT 
The apple market in general is in a firm, 
healthy condition. As one of the men in the 
market told the writer, this is a good year for 
ap-ples. 
The high light for the apple market, or the 
outstanding feature of it, is the remarkable 
export demand for Ben Davis. South America, 
Denmark, Norway and England are actively 
buying Ben Davis. As a matter of fact, as soon 
as a car is in it is immediately sold, indicating 
that there is room for more stock. Fortunately 
South America prefers stock only 2inches, 
while European market prefer sizes under that. 
Baldwins are meeting a good market. There 
are a few in at the present time. Most busi¬ 
ness is being done in futures. Stock that 
grades 2j^-inch and better, A grade, is easily 
bringing $4. Hudson Valley are holding for 
$4.25 and $4.50. Baldwins under 2pj-inch 
and above 2 1 /% are bringing anywhere from 
$3.25 and $3.75. 
Greenings are selling anywhere from $4 to 
$5 f.o.b. 
Kings are meeting a good market. 2%-inch 
stuff is bringing from $5 to $5.50 with $5 a 
prevailing price in the Hudson Valley. A good 
many growers are holding, however, asking $6. 
Hubbardstons are another shining light, 
breaking into the chain-store trade with appar¬ 
ent ease. Heretofore this variety has been 
sold to the chain-stores at a discount. This 
year they are entering the trade freely. 
Wealthies from western New York are bring¬ 
ing anywhere from $1.20 to $1.35 a bushel 
basket for 2 Yi inch A grade stuff, while bar¬ 
reled goods are bringing from $3.74 to $4.25. 
The Market Outlook for Small Grains 
{Continued from page 2^8) 
which before the war, was the principal 
producer and exporter of rye, suddenly 
began to furnish the importing countries 
of Europe with that grain after an absence 
from the international market since 1914. 
She shipped about 45 million bushels in 
the last 12 months, or about two and one- 
half times the amount exported by the 
United States. As a result of this compe¬ 
tition, rye prices in this country have 
been unusually low compared with wheat 
and other grains. 
World Rye Crop is Smaller 
While the United States has a slightly 
larger supply than a year ago, the world 
crop is considerably smaller. Estimates 
of yields from 11 countries outside of the 
United States show a combined yield of 
19 per cent, less than last year. These 
countries produced 40 per cent, of the 
1923 crop in the Northern Hemisphere. 
Both Poland and Germany, which, next 
to Russia, are the big producers and con¬ 
sumers of rye, have much smaller crops 
than last year. The Russian crop is not 
included in these figures upon the world 
yield, but reports indicate a near crop 
failure in some of the chief rye areas and 
the chances are that much less will be 
exported than last year. 
Besides the indications of a smaller 
world crop, the acceptance of the Dawes 
plan for the settlement of the reparations 
question should help rye, as it is the main 
bread cereal of Germany. Per capita 
consumption in that country has been 
below normal in recent years and the 
settlement of political differences coupled 
with loans to aid in starting up the 
German industrial machine once more 
should lead to a larger export demand for 
American rye than in the past year. 
Rye prices have already made a strong 
response to the changed outlook for the 
current crop year. Export sales were 
lighter than expected uptil within the last 
month when the foreign demand, which it 
seemed must inevitably come to the 
United States, began to appear. The 
United States has a surplus of about 45 
million bushels and probably a third of it 
has already been contracted for shipment 
abroad. Throughout the year it is to be 
expected that rye will sell on a bread 
grain basis instead of on a feed grain basis 
as in the most of last twelve months.
