WHAT RESTAURANT OWNERS 
SAY ABOUT EASTERN APPLES 
HERSCHEL H. JONES 
A N official invitation to the United 
. Restaurant Owners’ Association of 
New York City which includes a large 
number of chain restaurant organiza¬ 
tions to participate in the eastern Apple 
Exposition and Fruit Show, recently 
brought forth a reply that may be of in¬ 
terest to you. We print it with the ap¬ 
proval of the writer, C. W. Klein, as 
follows: 
Our membership was not strongly repre¬ 
sented at a meeting held to-day and so could 
not obtain desirable members to participate 
in this show, but it was the consensus 
of opinion of all those present to convey the 
message to the Apple Shippers that better 
facilities for shipment of graded apples ought 
to be inaugurated and these are the recom¬ 
mendations : 
Boxes instead of barrels should be used. 
Graded apples should contain only that 
grade specified on the container. 
The members were especially bitter in 
their complaints of the condition in which 
they receive these apples and we believe these 
conditions should be brought to the attention

Here is something for our apple 
growers to think about, as this organi¬ 
zation represents one of their largest 
market outlets in New York City. 
One of the things that the restaurant 
owners will learn at the Eastern Apple 
Exposition and Fruit Show, however, 
will be that there are already in the 
Eastern States a considerable number 
of progressive, wide-awake apple grow¬ 
ers who are packing apples in a way 
to meet the requirements of such buy¬ 
ers. Among them are those fellows over 
in Massachusetts who hafe made the 
slogan of their pack “APPLES THAT 
CAN BE EATEN IN THE DARK.” 
EASTERN APPLE MARKETS DULL 
The market for barreled apples at 
New York, Boston, Philadelphia and 
other eastern cities continued dull last 
week, although the colder weather made 
the situation look a little more hope¬ 
ful. The heaviest movement in New 
York State last week was probably of 
Baldwins which sold generally f.o.b. 
shipping point at between $3.25 to 4 
per barrel for A-Grade 2% inch up. 
Some Hudson Valley Baldwins sold at 
$4.25 per barrel. 
The New York wholesale market quo¬ 
tations for October 25, on apples from 
nearby States are as follows: barrels, 
New York State A-Grade 2 Y 2 inch: 
ALEXANDER, $3.50 to 4, BALDWIN, 
$3.50 to 4; fancy, $4.25 to 4.50, GREEN¬

$4.25 to 4.50, SPITZENBURG, $4 to 
4.50, STARK and WAGNER, $3 to 3.50. 
POTATO MARKET STEADY 
The demand for potatoes in the New 
York City Market has been limited. 
With colder weather the consumption 
increases and the dealers then expect 
better prices, if the supplies are not 
unusually heavy. 
Long Islands advanced last week due 
to the big storm that tied up potato 
movements. Sacks of 150 pounds 
jumped from $3.20 f.o.b. loading point 
to $3.50. Most of the stock is out of 
the fields and many believe prices will 
hold steady. “States” in bulk were of¬ 
fered in carlots at $1.65 to 1.75 cwt. de¬ 
livered; in 150-pound sacks $2.70 to 
2.80 New York City. Growers over¬ 
paid from 60c to 70c bushel. 
CABBAGE MARKET DULL 
Danish cabbage carlots were sold at 
$17 f.o.b. loading point last week; some 
at $16. Kraut, large stock at $11; a 
few buyers paid $12. 
GOOD DEMAND FOR POULTRY 
Generally there was a good demand 
for live poultry last week. Colored 
fowls sold as high as 30 cents and 
chickens 25 cents per pound on express 
shipments. 
GLOOMY PROSPECT FOR TURKEYS 
The recent report of the Federal Bu¬ 
reau shows holdings of 6,337,000 
pounds. This is over twice as large as 
last year and three times greater than 
the five-year average. | 
The nominal prices for turkeys on 
the New York Market now are 50 cents 
per pound but there are scarcely any 
arrivals. 
MIXED EGGS HARD TO SELL 
Fancy nearby eggs continued to meet 
a sharp demand and prices advanced 
slightly. Dealers and commission men 
holding mixed eggs which are in large 
supply had difficulty in disposing of 
them at 28 to 33c per dozen, most of 
the distributors turning to storage eggs 
for immediate use. 
BUTTER MARKET STEADY 
The butter market held steady during 
the past week. Extras on October 26 
were selling readily at 48 cents per 
pound. There were sharp reductions in 
the storage holdings of butter and only 
a moderate reported decrease in the 
make of butter. On the whole the na¬ 
tional butter market appears on a sound 
satisfactory basis. 
CHEESE MARKET UNSETTLED 
The New York market continued in 
a very unsettled condition. Offerings 
of 24% cents for New York State aver¬ 
age run flats brought no bids on Octo¬ 
ber 25. 
HAY MARKET WEAKER 
The hay market in New York City 
during the week slightly weakened, but 
better weather and light stocks indi¬ 
cated a better market at the close.

Color Your Butter 
“Dandelion Butter Color” Gives 
that Golden June Shade and 
Costs Really Nothing 
Before churning add one-half teaspoonful 
to each gallon of cream and out of your 
churn comes butter of Golden June shade 
to bring you top prices. “ Dandelion Butter 
Color” costs nothing because each ounce 
used adds ounce of weight to butter. Large 
bottles cost only 35 cents at drug or 
grocery stores. Purely vegetable, harmless, 
meets all State and National food laws. 
Used for 50 years by all large creameries. 
Doesn’t color buttermilk. Tasteless.
