THROUGH LARGE CALL FOR THE
TUBERS FROM OUTSIDE POINTS,
QUOTATIONS HOLD STEADY.

Potatoes and North Dako grown
vegetables are features in the local pro-
duce market this week. Potato sup
plies are now liberal AMI quotations
are running steady at $1o5 and $1.3O
Dakota tubers to hold up to stiff fig
ures this year on account Of the short
age elsewhere
At Minneapolis they are $135; at
Chicago and Kansas City $3.50 a bush
el. Commission men are meeting with
only limited demand for the ordin-
airy run of vegetables as a result of so
much garden stuff being grown here
abouts. Some of the houses, notably
the Fitzimmons-Palm company, and
the A. y. King Commission company,
are now specializing in the handling
OF Minnesota potatoes in carloads, and
will take up certain other lines, such
as cabbage as the season arrives.
Minnesota tomatoes have made their
appearance this week, taking the
place Of the Tennessee article, and the
quotation is opening quite reasonably
at 1925 bushel. Cabbage is in free
supply, with the offerings of a good
quality.
Apples come as the headlner in
fruits. Wisconsin is reported to have
a large crop of them, and they are of
choice sample. Prices are unusually
low, $3.50 and $500 a barrel.
Watermelons are coming in now
from Missouri and Iowa points, and
the figures have dropped to 80 and 35
cents each.
Sour cherries are nearly all off the
boards, only few cases coming to
hand Apricots and grape fruit are
also off.
Arizona and Utah cantaloupes are
now offering, and the price is easier
than week ago. Small fruits are
limited to blueberries and blackberries.
Butter prices are unchanged. Quot
ing small packages at q cents and
tubs at 26 cents, with their frsts at
"a and 25 cents.
On account of the low butter figures
of last winter and the high cost of
feed, many settlers sold off their cat.
tie.
The demand from the east for dairy
products continues large, and the butter
concern s are able to report consider
able increase in it's carlot shipment:
that way right through this season.
Eggs are still listed at 20 cents, cast
pack, or 81 cents in cartons. Offering
in eggs are variable in quality thi
season, requiring very careful picking
over. Packers will begin to scour th
country for supplies to 90 into storag
in short time now, and it is consider
ed the product is going as low now a
it is likely to at any time this season.
Poultry is coming on the marke
more literally, and some pairing dow
is to be noted in the figures. Dresse
hens are off cent, spring chickens ar
up cents to 20 cents; ducks, 3 cent
to 10 cents, and geese cent to IA an
Is cents.
In meats, beef and pork are stron
on light receipts, the latter running
cent up. Veal is 1-2 to cent highe,
with mutton also strong.
Fish is selling about on the sam
basis as last week, with the exceptio
that pike is up 12 cent, with the sma
supply, and halibut is up a cent.
The hay market is firm in the highe
grades, farmers holding off in their dt
Iiveries on the knowledge that it wi

Our Apple Crop.
(Portland Express. }

u VI tIdiiu EsNpitSSsP
Consular reports, from Liverpool,
Manchester and other cities in Great
Britain contain much that is encour-
aging to the producer Of American APP
pies. During the last three months OF
1910 more than 500 tons of American
|apples found ready market at the
fruit auctions in Liverpool and Man
chester.
The American apple is as popular in
Great Britain today as the American
tourist. Thousands of barrels are
sold annually. yet the capacity of the
British market for this variety OF
fruit is so far in excess of the supply
that it's extent is unknown. Great
Britain does not begin to produce
enough apples for home consumption.
Canada supplies some hut is unable
to meet the demand.
The standard varieties of American
apples are as well known in the Eng
lish markets as they are here, and
the prices are amply remunerative To
insure satisfactory profits for the
American producer. Last year the
average prices, per barrel. paid for
the we'll known varieties of American
|apples in English markets We're:
Newtons, 1895; Baldwins $i.44
Northern Spy, S4.S2, and Kings. st.s1.
The standard weight of n barrel of APP
piles is from 1874 to 160 pounds.
With such market open to the
producer of American apples. farmers
have no reason to fear that the sup
pN will exceed the demand. Much of
the fruit exported to England consists
of Western varieties, but the apples
produced in Maine and other Ne"
England states are far superior to
those OF the West in flavor, and our
apple producers have only to adopt
the admirable marketing methods of
Western growers in order to be able
to compete with them ON more than
an equal basis. Under proper manage
ment the orchard is one of the most
valuable assets of Maine farmer.
