Reviewing the Latest Eastern Markets 
Potato Market Firmer 
D URING the latter part of the week ending 
March 22, there was a decidedly firmer 
tone to the potato market. Just how long this 
tone will last remains to be seen. At any 
rate the market on States has turned better, 
being quoted at $1.70 per 100 pounds in bulk. 
Sacks of 150 pounds are bringing $2.60 de¬ 
livered. One potato dealer informed us that 
he had several telegrams from his up-State 
representatives that stated “No potatoes being 
hauled, roads bad. - ' Undoubtedly due to the 
fact that shipments are light and may be 
light for a few days, the market has taken on 
this firm tone. In view of the fairly light 
offerings on States, Long Islands have taken 
a stronger tone, selling at $1.30 to 1.35 per 
bushel to the farmers. Sacked stock 150 
pounds, is bringing from $3.50 to 3.75. The 
range in price is due to the variation in quality. 
Maines have not been as firm as States. If the 
weather dries up and roads and haulings in¬ 
crease, it is doubtful if price will rise much. 
It’s a good time to keep posted by radio. 
Opinions continue to vary greatly relative 
to the reserves on hand in the country. Some 
claim that there are a lot of potatoes in the 
country for sale. Others are just as emphatic 
that stocks are not excessive. In fact a man 
who knows the situation very thoroughly was 
in the office during the week and said that he 
couldn’t see where there was any justification 
for the statement that supplies are heavy. 
When you get such diverging opinions, it is 
almost an impossibility to give any true 
interpretation of future outlook. 
BETTER DEMAND FOR BALDWINS 
There have been very few changes in the apple 
market worthy of note, although of late there 
has been somewhat better demand particularly 
for fancy fruit and fruit that is in good condi¬ 
tion. The market for good Baldwins is much 
stronger although there is no material change 
in price. Total holdings are still abnormally 
high and the equivalent of six million barrels of 
apples still remain in storage, which is over 
60 per cent, heavier than ever before for the 
month of March. 
quotation brought forth heavier buying both 
from chain stores and small jobbers from out of 
town with the result that a fairly satisfactory 
volume of business was done. The greater part 
of the weakness is shown in undergrades. 
Foreign butter continues to come in rathei 
freely both from Denmark and South America. 
The market on “fields” cheese is steady but 
fresh stocks are more or less unsettled and are 
moving out less readily. Trading has been of 
fair volume, but on the whole the business can 
only be considered as light. Cold storage 
movements (public warehouses) on March 19 
were reported in New York City as 1,346,646 
pounds compared to only 563,591 pounds a 
year ago. Fancy, held, flats. States are quoted 
from 24 to 24%c both for white and colored. 
Fancy, fresh, flats are bringing from 20)d> to 
21%c.

CABBAGE IS DULL 
In spite of fairly limited supplies, trading in 
old-crop “State” cabbage has been extremely 
light with the result that the market has taken 
on a rather dull aspect. Quotations iu the city 
hang around the $40 mark, which means any¬ 
where from $30 to 35 in the country. 
POULTRY MARKET STEADY 
In the live poultry market indications are 
that the market is going to turn in favor of the 
sellers. The demand at the present time is 
turning to light fowls and it looks as though 
both lights and heavies will be quoted at the 
same price toward the end of the week. A 
number of cars are being held under shippers 
limits and the outlook is favorable. Express 
offerings have been quite free and with the 
trade rather quiet values have been barely 
sustained. 
In the dressed poultry market there is 
little or no change over the previous week. 
Fowls have been selling fairly well and the 
market has been cleaning up on small. to 
medium sizes. Large fowls are in accumulation 
and weak. There have been somewhat specula¬ 
tive demands of late for storing for a later 
market but buyers have not been bidding 
enough to obtain many fowls. Capons at this 
time are scarce and are selling rapidly. 
The frozen poultry market continues strong. 
Broilers are in light supply.and firm with some 
fancy stock bringing premium prices. . Roast¬ 
ing chickens are holding firm and in some cases 
advancing a cent. 
The market is steady and unchanged on live 
calves. Prime veals are selling as high as $15 
but most of the quotations are somewhat be¬ 
low this. Small calves continue to come on the 
market and are ranging anywhere from $4.50 
to 6. The market continues unchanged on live 
sheep, lambs and hogs. 
Country dressed veal calves are in liberal 
supply with the result that trade has been slow 
and the market lias eased off about a cent on 
fairly good grades. Medium and lower calves 
have maintained firmer prices. However, 
considerable stock remains unsold and as we 
go to press the market is favoring the weather. 
FAIR DEMAND FOR HAY 
The hay market continues fairly steady. 
There is a good demand for large bales of both 
No. 1 and No. 2. Receipts have been fairly 
liberal but with a fair demand the market has 
been holding quite steady. Timothy has been 
banging in the neighborhood of $28 for No. 2. 
Mixed clover hay varies all the way from $22 to 
25 depending on quality. The latest report 
we can get relative to the California situation 
is that the foot and mouth disease is not as 
serious as it was first thought to be. The in¬ 
fection is more in the milk-producing section 
and not in the hay-production section. The 
Government is rapidly cleaning up the infected 
territory. 
EGG MARKET BREAKS 
Although arrivals are by no means excessive 
for the season, nevertheless there is a material 
increase and apparently the value of incoming 
goods is in excess of immediate needs. As a 
result the market has turned weak, with a slight 
drop in prices. With weather conditions as 
favorable as these for production, it is fair to 
assume that the market will soon be flooded 
with the spring lay. Of course the Lenten 
season brings forth an unusually active demand 
and this will in a measure take care of the 
market to a considerable degree. This is 
especially so in view of the fact that retailers 
in all parts of the city are selling at very 
reasonable prices, which only helps to effect 
clearances. Best Jersey and other nearby 
whites are quoted at 35c, but the general run 
of nearby gathered whites, first to extra first, 
average 27c to 30c.

li-B, based on butter and American cheese 
quotations on the New York market. 
BUTTER MARKET WEAKER 
The butter market has taken on a weaker 
tone during the last few days, and as we go to 
press there seems to be quite a degree of un¬ 
certainty throughout the market. Indications 
are that prices may drop a slight bit more in 
order to stimulate business a great deal. 
Trade has been so slow that, under pressure to 
ppil wry lowered to 47% cents. This 
(Continuedfrom page 325) 
advertise in a poultry journal. He sold 
his eggs at $3 and $5 per 15 while home 
markets ranged around 25 cents a dozen. 
I know of a poultry breeder who kept 
two purebred dogs for watching his flock. 
Twice each year there was a litter of 
pups for sale. His neighbors were not 
interested in purebred pups and would not 
give him more than scrub dog prices. It 
was difficult to give the pups away. He 
knew the value of advertising in the sell¬ 
ing of poultry so he placed an “ad ’ in 
a farm paper. This “ad” sold the pups 
at purebred prices and booked enough 
orders for the next litter before they were 
born. 
I like the roadside advertising plan, 
although it does not reach so many buyers. 
Signs should be placed at right angles to 
the road and should be double. The 
same advertisement on both sides will 
attract the attention of travelers in both 
directions. The great trouble is that 
persons who resort to roadside advertis¬ 
ing usually must sell for much less than 
those who use the columns of the papers 
for advertising their products. 
Both local and farm papers should re¬ 
ceive our patronage. Such advertising 
often brings buyers to the door and all 
the trouble of making shipment is avoided. 
Local advertisements often surprise us 
at the number of buyers that turn up from 
nearby sections. Unless you tell the 
other* fellow what you have you stand 
good chances of keeping it. 
Yes, our friend the Guernsey breeder 
was right.
