Old Potatoes Dull 
T HE entire market on old potatoes rules 
weaker and dull. Southern potatoes are 
arriving in fairly liberal supply and in some 
quarters these are replacing old stocks rapidly. 
There is nothing to look forward to that can 
be depended upon to create a stronger market. 
It may be that the severe storms that are re¬ 
ported in the South will be responsible for 
some damage. If this is true, we may expect 
a slight strengthening during the next week or 
so, but there is not enough likelihood of this 
to make it worth putting a whole lot of faith 
in. The southeaster storm was in fact a 
hurricane and tornado, causing heavy losses 
of life and terrific damage to buildings and 
crops. Whether it reaches into the potato 
country has not yet been reported. 
“States” of the better grade are bringing 
$1.75 a cwt. delivered, but the general quota¬ 
tion on “States” covers a wide range depend¬ 
ing on quality. $1.60 seems to be about the 
ruling price on average stocks. There were 
indications that shippers of “States are 
rather anxious to effect a clearance. It is 
reported that in one instance where a car had 
been ordered, a car and a half was sent through. 
When the city buyers see this urge to clear 
stocks, they immediately interpret it to mean 
that farmers are heavily stocked with a reserve 
and are anxious to clear out their holdings. 
This practice right now has created an im¬ 
pression in the New York market that stocks 
are heavy and shippers are anxious to effect 
a clearance. 
HAY MARKET STRONG 
In general the hay market in Greater New 
York is in a very healthy condition. Brooklyn 
is stronger than Manhattan. Bronx and 
Harlem are also very strong. As we go to 
press, Manhattan is fairly well^ supplied but 
prices rule strong. No. 1 and No. 2 hay is in 
actual strong demand. Last week’s receivers 
were paying as high as $34, but since then the 
price shaded a bit to $32 on best No. 2 grade 
in large bales. As a matter of fact so little 
No. 1 hay is coming in that there is not enough 
to warrant a quotation. Barges are coming 
in regularly from the Hudson and Mohawk 
Valley but most of these arrivals consist of 
common hay and undergrades.

price had dropped back to 37c. It has held 
there since and the market continues steady 
and firm. As we go to press, there is a fair 
amount of business being transacted on the 
street and prices are maintained without 
difficulty. The creamery extras 92 score are 
bringing 37c. Creamery marks scoring higher 
than 92 are bringing 38c. State dairy tubs 
of the best grade are bringing from 36^ to 
36^c, while common to fair marks vary from 
32 to 35c. In view of the past performances 
in the market, it is absolutely out of the ques¬ 
tion to predict or even infer what may take 
place. 
Receipts of fresh cheese are increasing to 
considerable extent and the New York market 
is holding fairly steady on these stocks. The 
quality is good and offerings hold steady at 16 
to 16j^c with some going to 17c. Fancy held 
State flats are steady at from 24 to 25 with 
average run stock bringing from 23 to 23>£c. 
EGG MARKET WEAKER 
As we predicted in our market review and 
trend last week, the situation in the egg market 
has turned decidedly weaker. Accumulations 
are heavy and with the end of the Lenten sea¬ 
son and passing of Jewish holidays last week, 
the demand has fallen off. The result is that 
we have a heavy supply coming in with only a 
nominal demand. Storage is in full swing and 
is absorbing the accumulations but not enough 
to maintain prices. Jersey and other nearby 
hennery whites of the closely selected extras 
are quoted at from 31 to 33c, which is several 
cents below top quotations a w 7 eek ago. Near¬ 
by hennery whites of extra firsts grades are 
quoted from 27 to 28 and firsts are down to 
26 and 27c. Arrivals of these nearby whites 
are heavy and far beyond the current trade 
needs and many men in the market are depend¬ 
ing on storage for an outlet. 
With the situation as it is, the farmers may 
well consider the wisdom of storing eggs at 
this time for next winter’s supply of cooking 
eggs. Through the use of water glass, eggs may 
be kept perfectly for cooking purposes at very 
low expense, enabling the sale of fresh eggs 
next winter when prices are higher. 
LIVE AND DRESSED POULTRY 
Fowls coming in via freight are meeting a 
very firm market. There is in fact a slight 
shortage of stock and it may be that prices 
will be forced up very slightly. However, as 
soon as this happens a reaction on the con¬ 
sumers’ side is looked for. As a result, general 
opinion seems to favor leaving prices alone. 
Broilers have been in heavy supply and the 
market during the middle of the week took on 
a much weaker tone. The market on express 
broilers was dragging and the tendency seemed 
downward. Only very finest colored marks 
are able to pull 65c, and 55c is the very extreme 
on only the best White Leghorns. 
The dressed poultry market is unsettled and 
irregular. Fresh fowl receipts are light. Dressed 
broilers are scarce and the price rules firm with 
many bringing a premium. Fresh killed 
fowls in boxes running 50 pounds to the dozen, 
are quoted at any where from 31 to 33c for corn 
fed and 33 to 35c for milk fed stock. Cases 
weighing 40 pounds to the dozen rule about 
2c lower. Barreled stock averaging A]/% 
pounds per bird quoted at 39 to 41c on corn 
fed and 31 to 33 on milk fed. Lighter and 
heavier stock rules slightly lower.

Sheffield Farms Company Producers an¬ 
nounce that the price of 3 per cent, milk in the

BUTTER MARKET HOLDS STEADY 
The rapid rise in the butter market last week 
was followed by an unforeseen, although not 
unexpected drop at the close of the week. The 
price had gone up to 383^0, which was almost 
too good to be true. This too rapid rise was 
I apparently unwarranted for on Saturday the 
MEATS AND LIVE STOCK 
The market rules weak on meat and live 
calves, and trading is dull. There has been 
some slight improvement on top grades over 
last week but under grades have dropped off 
from 50 to 75c. The bulk of sales is around 
$8 to 9. Small calves are as low as $3 per 100. 
Although the demand is somewhat limited, 
nevertheless the market is steady on spring 
lambs. $21 is the ruling price on fancy spring 
stock. Yearlings vary from $17.25 on prime 
down to $11 on culls. _ _ , 
Country dressed veal calves are coming in in 
fairly liberal supply. Trading has been moder¬ 
ate and with a weak and irregular market 
except for strictly choice market, of which 
there was 'not a very plentiful supply, the 
market in general is irregular. Dressed hot 
house lambs are plentiful. Fancy marks of 
desirable size are selling well. However, the 
majority of the arrivals are only of ordinary 
grade and such are selling at irregular prices. 
Some stock is coming in that is apparently 
not in good condition, in spite of favorable 
weather we have been having for shipping 
dressed stock. Shippers should take every 
precaution to get all the animal s heat out of 
the carcass before shipping lest they arrive 
in such shape that inspectors will refuse the 
arrivals.
