to the extent that prices have improved very 
slightly. However, the market is by no means 
settled and any increase in receipts is almost 
sure to create a panicky condition in the market.

a slight increase in prices of Long Islands of i_ 1 __i_4 -v.y> tvo^f than in many years, due undoubtedly to the 
about 10 cents on 150-pound sacks. Long 
Islands vary now from $3.50 to $3.60 per 150 
pounds f. o. b. Riverhead. States remain about 
the same at $1.65 per cwt. in bulk delivered; 
$2.60 per 150-pound sack delivered. Maines 
hold to their previous price, $3 to $3.25 per 150 
pound sack delivered and $2 a cwt. in bulk.

have been quite heavy during the latter part 
of the week. Trading in freight arrivals has 
been quiet and with heavy receipts coming in, 
a much easier tone exists in the market. In 
fact, if freight arrivals continue as they have of 
late a much weaker condition can be looked for. 
Express broilers have been coming in in 
large quantities. The demand is active, how¬ 
ever, with the result that the market is sus¬ 
taining its fairly firm tone. Yellow skinned 
than in many years, due undoubtedly to the 
fact that there is a general feeling that prices 
will go lower. There is practically no future 
buying going on at all, nearly all of the trade 
being for immediate needs. Buyers are only 
taking their day to day requirements, waiting 
for the market to break with anticipated heavy 
increase in arrivals. 
Jersey and other nearby whites, closely 
graded and of high quality, are bringing 
field daily. The manure spreader gets it evenly 
on the land and it saves man labor. But I have 
found that just as valuable as the spreader is, 
is a concrete manure pit where I can put the 
manure without leaching until I can draw it to 
the field. I am convinced that a loss of liquid 
takes away more than half the value. I am 
sure that the great care of the good farmers of 
the past generation to spread the manure 
very evenly went a long ways toward helping 
them get the most out of it. 
GOOD DEMAND FOR GOOD HAY 
As we go to press, there is a strong demand 
in the market for good hay. By good hay is 
meant U. S. No. 1 and No. 2 grades. The 
market is over supplied right now with medium, 
common and poor hay. The Brooklyn Eastern 
District Terminal is crowded full of poor grade 
Canadian hay in small bales. Several barge- 
loads of medium hay are reported coming 
down the river from Hudson \ alley districts. 
Chicks Dying 
How to stop it in 48 hours 
White diarrhea kills half of all the 
chicks hatched, yet this loss is easily 
prevented, easily stopped. For years, 
thousands of poultry raisers have 
stamped out the trouble almost entirely, by 
putting Avicol in the drinking water. With¬ 
in 48 hours, the sick ones are lively aa 
crickets. Mrs. Wm. May, Rego, Ind., says: 
“I was losing 15 chicks a day before I re¬ 
ceived the Avicol. I haven’t lost one since. 
Avicol costs nothing to try. Readers are 
urged to write to Burrell-Dugger Co., 307 
Allen Ave., Indianapolis, Ind., sending 50c 
as a deposit for a package by mail prepaid 
(or $1 for large size holding nearly 3 times 
as much). If you prefer, send no money but 
deposit the money with the postman on 
deliverv. If Avicol doesn’t stop your chick 
losses immediately, if you’re not fully sat¬ 
isfied, the money deposited will be promptly 
refunded by the manufacturers. 
op lilg **“*’*“& 
supply. Arrivals from Jersey and other nearby 
points, although light, are quoted from 50 to 
65c. Dressed fowls are also in light supply 
meeting a firm market for the smaller size. 
Heavy fowls, over 5 pounds, are dragging. 
BUTTER MARKET QUIET 
There is little or no change in the general 
situation in the butter market. Business has 
been moving along fairly well. Buyers are 
taking their full requirements but showing no 
disposition to buy ahead. There is a slightly 
more confident tone to the market compared to 
a week ago when there was an extreme at¬ 
mosphere of depression and pessimism evident. 
However, there is still a feeling of nervousness. 
A steadier tone exists in the cheese market 
for fresh State flats. The low price is un¬ 
doubtedly responsible for the steadier tone, 
price ranging from 16% U P to 18%. The 
market 1 on held cheese is not quite as active, 
but stocks show a gradual reduction. The 
West seems to be weaker on fresh offerings, 
MILK PRICES 
shipping in quality stuff right now is _ in the 
strongest position. Furthermore, it is wise 
right now for poultrymen to ship in their stuff 
promptly to get the advantage of the present 
market.

EGGS FIRM^TEMPORARILY 
A slightly firmer tone exists in the egg 
market as we go to press, but the sentiment 
in the market seems to be that this firmness is 
only temporary. The Pacific Coast Whites 
have been coming in rather small numbers with 
the result that Nearby Jersey Whites, closely 
graded and of fancy quality, have strengthened 
MEATS AND LIVE STOCK 
The market remains steady on live calves, 
due to a fairly active demand. Prime veals are 
selling up to 14%c for very choice stock, other 
offerings ranging downward. Small calves are 
bringing as low as 4%c. However, this kind 
of stock is in light supply. The “live” market 
is also steady on lambs Prime “State’ stock 
and very choicest marks are bringing up to $17, 
others ranging downward, to as low as $8 for 
common stock. Very fancy ewes are reported 
as high as $9 with average stock bringing 
nearer $6 and poor to common as low as $3.75. 
Country dressed veal calves were coming in 
heavy during the latter part of the week, which 
developed considerable weakness in the mar¬ 
ket. In fact the arrivals have been coming in 
so heavy the last couple of days that a consid¬ 
erable drop may be looked for on this commod¬ 
ity. A few very choice veals were dragging out 
in a small way up to 19c, with 18c standing as 
the more general price. Prime offerings did not 
go above 15c to 17c, poorer grades going as low 
as 7c and 8c, especially on small stock, the 
proportions of which is not large. Dressed hot¬ 
house lambs are coming in in heavier supply 
and accumulations are piling up. A sufficient 
number of sales at 12c have been made to main¬ 
tain the market at that figure for very fancy 
stock. Most sales, however, range downward 
to as low as 7c on poor stock. Country dressed 
pork is receiving little attention.
