American Agriculturist:, January 19,15 
POTATO MARKET FIRM 
I N last week’s market reports we stated that 
the trend of the market would be upward 
with the coming of cold weather. This state¬ 
ment was borne out. There has been a decided 
strengthening in the potato market. However 
New York is experiencing another warm spell 
with the result that the activity of the market 
has been checked. In general the potato 
market is firm. Long Islands are quoted at 
$1.30 a bushel. Long Islands in 150-pound 
sacks, are bringing from $3.50 to $3.60 at the 
loading stations down on the east end. The 
market on States has improved, prices ranging 
from 80 to 90 cents a bushel and $1.80 per 100 
at the 33rd Street Station. Sales have been 
reported of Maine potatoes at $2.25 per 100, 
delivered in the Harlem Yards. 
Of course if this warm spell continues in New 
York, it is very doubtful if there will be much, 
if any, increase in the prices. There is one good 
feature and that is the supplies have been light, 
which has stabilized the market. 
There is no question but what the tendency 
to hold back stocks for higher prices has been 
greater this year than usual. Unless there is a 
decided change in the market, there is soon 
going to be a lot of dumping going on with the 
result that potatoes are going to be very cheap. 
In fact some of the dealers in New York confi¬ 
dentially expect that this is going to take 
place. There is no secret to the fact that 
some of the bigger shippers have only sent in 
one-quarter to one-fifth of their usual consign¬ 
ments. This indicates that there are still a lot 
of potatoes in the country. If they come in at 
the same time, there is going to be a crash. 
Therefore, it is up to growers who have stocks 
in storage to release them steadily rather than 
let them go all at once. This will result in a 
more uniform movement into the consuming 
centers. 
with the State Department of Farms and 
Markets from WEAL'. The reports cover the 
market for the day and will indicate immediate 
changes. 
DRESS POULTRY MARKET STRONG 
Supplies of dressed poultry have been light 
and with advices from the West of light ship¬ 
ments it looks as though the market will 
strengthen next week. Most shipments con¬ 
tain coarse, hard chickens and much staggy 
stock is reported. Dressed capons are in fair 
supply, meeting a firm market. 
The live poultry market has shown a weak¬ 
ening tendency. Receipts and'unloadings have 
been beyond trade needs with the consequent 
depressing effect on prices. The price of fouls 
has ranged around 26c with medium grades 
working' out from I to 3c lower. Chickens 
have averaged 23c. 
FIRM TONE IN CHEESE MARKET 
The market is developing a much firmer 
tone on the better grades of cheese. There are 
reports of several car-lot sales and a broadening 
demand for well-cured stock, especially Wis¬ 
consin. There has been only moderate trading 
in States but demand developed toward the 
end of the week. The following are the closing 
quotations: STATES, held, white and colored, 
fancy, 25 to 2oJ4c; average run, 23jU to 24j^c; 
fresh, white and colored, fancy, 21to 23c; 
average run, 20 c; fair to good, 18j^ to 19}^c; 
skims, flats, fresh, 16c; medium, 15 to 15U>c. 
BUTTER MARKET EASIER 
EXPORTS MAY HELP APPLES 
The only encouraging feature of the apple 
market this week is the report that there is a 1 
demand stirring in export business. One of the 
discouraging features of this past week was the 
arrival of a fairly large shipment of western 
boxed Jonathans, that broke the market. As a 
result the market closed this Week with a de¬ 
cidedly dull tone. Ordinary quality stock 
finds no market. * 
The majority of the supplies are composed 
of poor to ordinary quality stock. The follow¬ 
ing are general quotations at the close of the 
market: BALDWINS, poor to fair, $2 to $4.50; 
large fancy, $5 to $5.50. BEN DAVIS, $2 to 
$3.50. JONATHANS, $2.50 to $3. GREEN¬ 
INGS, poor to fair, $2.25 to $2.50; large fancy, 
$6 to $ 7 . KINGS, $2.25 to $3.50. McUNb 
TOSH, $3 to $ 6 . TWENTY OUNCE, poor 
to good, $2.50 to $3; large fancy, $3.50 to $4. 
During the. earlier part of the week there was 
strength to the butter market. However, dur¬ 
ing the latter part of the week there was an 
easier tone prevailing, due primarily to the 
heavy arrivals of foreign stocks. This foreign 
butter is of very fine quality, equal to the best 
domestic. The variable 'character of the 
weather has been responsible for a very uneven 
make, with result that the high-scoring foreign 
butter has had a decided effect upon the mar¬ 
ket. The demand is good for fancy stock and 
the trading is fair. However with Tower grades 
there is a weakness developing. .Latest quota¬ 
tions are as follows: Creamery, extras, 92 
score, 55c; Creamery, first, 88 to 89 score, 48^2 
to 50 U 2 C; Creamery, lower grades, 42 to 44c; 
Creamery, unsalted, 92 score, 56 to 57c; 
Creamery, unsalted, 88 to 89 score, 47 to 49j^c; 
Creamery, unsalted, seconds, 44 to 46j4c; 
State dairy, good to prime, 49 to 53c; State 
dairy, common to fair, 40 to 48c. 
{LIVE STOCK MARKET STEADY 
HAY MARKET STRONG 
Light receipts have had a tendency to 
strengthen the hay market in New York. Re¬ 
ports have it that the Brooklyn market was 
even stronger than the New York market. If 
shippers wall study their markets carefully 
there is no question but what hay is going to 
bring in fair prices during the rest of the winter. 
The fact that storage sheds for reserved stocks 
are ridiculously inadequate in New York City 
accounts for a sudden drop in the market. It 
will pay shippers to get in touch with persons 
who have radios and get the daily condition of 
the market “over the air.” The hay market 
is changing every day, and radio is the only 
means that shippers have at their disposal at 
the present time. *1 
Toward the end of the week live veal was in 
very light supply. There was a fair demand and 
prime stock brought $17. Live lambs have 
worked off pretty well at $15. Sheep are still 
scarce. The market for live hogs is easier. ;• 
The market has been weaker and less active 
on country-dressed veal calves. A few have 
been turned at 24 to 25c, but more trading 
was done at 23c for choice stock. Prime veal 
brought only 20 c with lower grades ranging 
downward. Dressed hot-house lambs have 
been in light supply and have met a steady 
demand, $13 being the general top quotation. 
Imitations ranged from $4 to $ 8 . 
GASH GRAIN QUOTATIONS 
There is little change in the grain market. 
There was a slight strengthening tremor in the 
wheat market caused by delays in Argentine 
shipments. Com has been strong and fairly 
active. Oats have been very quiet. Quota¬ 
tions f. o. b. New York are as follows: 
EGG MARKET WEAKER 
The demoralized condition of the egg market 
continues, the weakness having prevailed 
throughout the week. The market for white 
eggs is even weak. This condition is also re¬ 
ported by the Chicago market. Undoubtedly 
the mild weather prevailing throughout the 
producing area is responsible for the situation. 
If the cold wave materializes that is reported 
developing over the western territory there may 
be some change in the market. However, this 
will not be immediate. Until the market 
strengthens materially it will be advisable for 
country producers to cater to the nearby local 
markets if prices and demand are at all reason¬ 
able. Reports from American Agriculturist 
county correspondents state that prices are 
very satisfactory in the local territory, quota¬ 
tions bearing the statements out. There is 
only a fair market in New York for the very 
fine top-grade stock, which grade is very seldom 
attained by the average country shipper who 
cannot grade his eggs severally. Owing to the 
condition in the market it would be very wise 
for country shippers to keep in constant touch 
with the market by taking advantage of the 
daily radio market reports that are broadcast 
by American Agriculturist, in cooperation
