MILK PRICES 
T HE Dairymen’s League Cooperative As¬ 
sociation announces the following prices 
that dealers will pay the League during the 
month of December for milk testing 3% in the 
basic zone of 201 to 210 miles from New York 
City. It is to be understood, of course, that the 
prices mentioned below are not received by the 
farmer bid go into the pool. They represent the 
prices dealers pay to the League. Class 1: milk 
used chiefly for fluid purposes, $3.07 per hun¬ 
dred pounds, an advance of 47c per hundred 
over the October price. Class 2A, used chiefly 
as fluid cream, $2.10; Class 2 B, used chiefly in 
the manufacture of condensed milk and ice 
cream, $2.25; Class 2C, used chiefly in the 
manufacture of soft cheese, $2.15. Class 3A, 
$1.80. Class SB, $1.75. Class SC, $1.65. 
Class If., prices will as usual be based on the 
butter and American cheese quotations on the 
New York market. 
The only increases are in Class 2, 20 cents 
per hundred in 2A and 2B and a 10 cent in¬ 
crease in 2C. 
Sheffield Producers 
The Sheffield Farms Producers announce the 
following price for 3% milk in the 201 to 210- 
mile zone: Class 1, $3.07 per hundred; Class 2, 
$2.00; Class 3, $1.50; Class If, determined by 
market quotations on butter and cheese. 
Non-Pool Cooperative 
The Non-pooling Dairymen’s Cooperative 
prices for Class 1 milk is $2.80 per hundred; 
Class 2, $2.00; Class 3A, $1.60; with freight 
and fat differentials. 
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. 9. 
League Announces October Pool Price 
The Dairymen’s League announces that the 
gross pool price for October is $1.95 per 100 
pounds for 3 per cent, milk in the 201-210-mile 
zone. From this there will be deducted 9c for 
expenses, leaving a net pool price of $ 1 . 86 . 
Another reduction of 10c per hundred is made 
on certificates of indebtedness, leaving a 
net cash price to farmers of $1.76. 
FANCY BUTTER HIGHER 
Fancy butter went literally sky-rocketing 
diming the past week, reaching as high as 45c 
for creamery scoring higher than extra. This 
activity in strictly fancy butter was due to 
the light receipts and the active demand on the 
part of the consumptive trade. Along with 
the advances on fancy butter, the market 
experienced a sympathetic advance in the 
intermediate and lower grades. At the same 
time there ivas a stronger movement from 
storage, with the result that the entire butter

market had a much better tone to it during the 
week. 
However, the strong advance resulted in 
quieter trading toward the end of the week 
with the result that top quotations were 
shaded from a Y 2 cent to a full cent. When 
prices take such a sharp upward turn, we can 
usually expect slightly.'easing off, when storing 
holdings are so extensive, such as is true of the 
present market. The receipts during the past 
week run considerably below those of the 
week previous. 
As the week closes, prices are as follows: 
Creamery scoring higher than extra (93 score) 
44 to 44j-£c; extras 92 score, 43c; firsts 90 
to 91 score, 40 to 43c; firsts 88 to 89 score, 
35}^ to 38c; seconds 84 to 87 score, 33^2 to 
34j^c. 
CHEESE TRADING ACTIVE 
Trade in the cheese market continued fairly 
active all during the past week. In view of the 
fact that advices indicate a continued restricted 
make, it is reasonable to expect that conditions 
are going to continue for the time being. The 
market at the present time is particularly well 
supported in the leading grades of well-cured 
cheese. It is reported that some dealers have 
sold New York State cheese, storing up-State 
at a price above current quotations in the mar¬ 
ket both in held and fresh stock. The western 
make is also said to be lighter. Fancy to spe¬ 
cial whole milk State flats, held, are quoted 
anywhere from 22 to 23c, while average run, 
held, goods are bringing from 20c to 2tJ4c. 
Fresh whole milk State flats that are fancy are 
bringing a cent under held stock, while average 
run fresh goods are bringing from 20c to 20)^c 
and undergrades one cent less. 
NEARBY EGGS MORE PLENTIFUL 
There has been a gradual but steady in¬ 
crease in the receipts of white eggs from nearby 
points, especially New Jersey and Long Island. 
Other sections are still rather light in their 
shipments. In spite of these slightly heavier 
arrivals, the market continues to hold its 
strength on fancy marks. Fresh mediums of 
good quality and fancy pullets are cleaning up 
promptly. In general there has been little 
or no accumulation to speak of and prices are 
holding firm. Closely selected extras in Jersey 
and other nearby hennery whites are still 
quoted anywhere from 81 to 86c, with average 
extras bringing 76 to 80c; extra firsts 71 to 75c 
and first 62 to 70c. Nearby gathered whites, 
grading firsts to extra firsts are bringing 62 to 
73c with undergrades usually 10c a dozen lower. 
Pullets are bringing anywhere from 45 to 58c, 
depending on size. 
Fancy brown eggs have been scarce in the 
market and as a result quotations on these 
marks have been advancing. Fancy nearby 
hennery browns are now quoted anywhere 
from 69 to 77c depending on quality. 
EXPRESS FOWLS SELLING WELL 
Express colored fowls have been selling sat¬ 
isfactorily right along. The market has been 
active and firm on fancy stock, such as well 
filled Wyandottes, Rocks and Reds, while 
light Leghorns have been more or less draggy 
and quiet. Fancy colored fowls still hold their 
top quotations of from 29 to 30c with average 
marks 24 to 28c. The best Leghorns fowls 
coming in by express find it hard to get above 
21 to 22c, while average run stock seldom 
brings better than 19c. 
Not many express chickens are arriving. 
Most of those that are coming in are too large 
to satisfy the trade and are reported to be 
more or less staggy. Naturally these are 
having a rather quiet outlet. These average 
run chickens will only bring 22 to 24c, whi^ 
medium weights will bring 2c or 3c more. 
Chickens or broiler size that are fancy will 
bring as much as 30 to 32c. Very few express 
geese and turkeys are arriving. Undoubtedly 
the low prices for turkeys is cutting down sup¬ 
plies at the present time. Express turkeys 
are bringing only 26 to 28c, while geese are 
only worth 12c. Long Island spring ducks 
are quoted at 29c with stock from other nearby 
points bringing anywhere from 23 to 26c. 
POTATOES SLIGHTLY FIRMER 
The recent cold snap that the entire coun¬ 
try seemed to have experienced, has had a 
tendency to bolster up the potato market. 
The firmness is more in the tone of the market 
than in actual prices. There are too many 
potatoes in the city at the present time and 
too much stock showing frost to have much of 
an effect on the market. As far as price is 
concerned, abouj. the only stocks that have 
really taken a strong upward turn are Long 
Island’s. They are now quoted at $2.35 per 
150 pound sack delivered. Maines cannot 
do any better than $2.25 and most of them are 
going around $2.00 to $2.10 delivered. States 
are usually bringing $1.75. It is quite evident 
that the cold snap has held up shipments 
because advices indicate that arrivals will 
be lighter and during the next week we may 
see a stronger potato market. This cannot 
be long-lived, however, in view of the fact that 
storage holdings are so very heavy. As soon 
as much of a spurt comes, we are going to see a 
flood on the market with consequent weaken¬ 
ing prices. It may be that some growers will 
find a stronger market nearer at home com¬ 
pared to New York City. It is well to look 
around this year. Everybody is shipping into 
New York and with a heavy crop that is now 
on hand, it is natural that the market is 
weaker down here. 
CABBAGE HIGHER 
Cabbage took a strong upward turn wild the 
coming of cold weather. One big dealer re¬ 
ported confirmation of $10 a ton F.O.B. ship¬ 
ping point which means $7 or $8 per ton to the 
farmer. Just how long this condition will last 
is hard to say. It doesn’t seem that it can exist 
any length of time in view of the fact that stor¬ 
age holdings are so heavy. It is well to keep 
in close touch with the market and take advan¬ 
tage of every upward turn, because sky-rock¬ 
eting is going to be of short duration. Of course 
a man is privileged to hold some cabbage way 
late in the season as a mere matter of specula¬ 
tion but if his holdings are very strong he will 
keep a close watch on the market and take 
advantage of these short upward jumps. 
NO CHANGE IN BEANS 
There is no change of note in the bean mar¬ 
ket, all varieties moving along at the same slow 
pace with no material change in quotations. 
There seems to be a somewhat easier feeling in 
the market. Marrows are offered freely at 
$11, although a few choice are bringing 25c 
more. Common to fair stock is selling 50c 
below this price. Pea beans are bringing any¬ 
where from $5.75 to $6 for common to fair 
stocks while a few fancies will bring $6.25. Red 
kidneys are dull and weak with common 
marks down to $8.50 with a few choice lots 
bringing $9. White kidneys are also meeting a 
slow market with $10 for common lots and 
choice marks bringing from $10.25 to $10.40. 
Yellow Eyes are running along about the same 
pace, with $6.75 to $7 quoted for choice lots. 
GRAINS AND FEED 
According to New York State Department 
of Farms and Markets, the following prices 
prevailed November 8. 
The quotations given in this report show the approximate 
prices at which feed can be purchased per ton, and grain 
per bushel, in straight carlots through billed from Western 
points, delivered on track at points in the freight zones as 
indicated. Mixed carlots cost approximately $2 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 $5 per ton above the wholesale prices given 
in this report:

HAY MARKET LIFELESS 
There is little or no life to the hay market. 
Receipts are absolutely sufficient to take care 
of the demand, although they are not very 
heavy at that. There is an over-supply of 
hay in small bales. If this keeps up we will 
possibly see a *small strengthening of choice 
hay of No. 1 grades in large bales. Prices 
remain about the same as last week. Timothy
