The dealers claim that the farmers

‘ are demandins a higher price for their

fer them to advance their price. A
very peculiar phase of the situation is
that all of the dealers in the city

p‘manesrement of the two larger cream-

trust or combination. and that one

“A very easy feeling prevailed in
the apple market here and business
was slower than for some weeks past.
The supply greatly. exceeded the de-
mand and consequently a large part
of the receipts had to be sent. to the
coolers Trade was for the most
part local and there was little or no
speculat'on. Receipts of early fall
apples decreased and only strictly
fancy grades ‘of this stock sold at
all. Common stock in barrels was re.-
fused by peddlers as they preferred

to handle bulk apples and it was
' only occasionally that inferior grades

in barrels could be moved. Dealers

stock would not bring charges and
peddlers who up to this time had
been relied upon to take the goods
have centered their attentions upon
bulk apples which are fair sale When
in good condition.

Receipts of fall and winter apples
increased to a great extent but a
large part of the arrivals, mainly
Baldwins, were too hard for pres-
ent use and had to be sent to cool-
ers to await future consumption.
Buyers did not seem disposed to take
hold of fall and winter stock since
prices were a little high. Most of
the dealers anticipate a very good
demand for apples when other fruits
become lighter.

Trade in western box apples was
also dull and dealers anticipate a
much better movement, when other
kinds of fruits have become cleaned
up, Jonathans when fancy sold from
$3 75 to $4 and Grimes Golden from
$2.50 to $3.00. Carlots of bulk ap-
ples sold from $60 to $100 according
to grade.”

New York Potatoes Blighted by
Rot—Eliminated From
Market.

The weather for the past week has
had considerable to do with the
gloomy market outlook. This coupled
with the fact that conﬂicting reports
are received from almost every quar-
ter. makes it quite impossible to set
very near actual conditions For
the ﬁrst time in many years. the
Presidential campaign has not had
its usual effect on general condi-
tions. The trade reviews report pros-
pects for the coming year were never
better. and all are looking forward
to a year of general prosperity no
matter who may be elecred The
car shortage is just beginning to be
felt. in the northwest, and as a con-
sequence tbe eastern markets are
going to be just a Mile stronger
for the time being it is intended
in our Weekly review of the market
situation on this page, to give the
very latest informa'ion received it
must be unders'ood that our infor—
mat’on is secured from ccrrespo d.
ence and representatives and t
be considered as merely a ﬂashlig
picture of conditions existing at t
time the reports were made. A (1
patch just received says:

“New York stale potatoes have c
tainly got a black eye, and unfor
nately it may take some time
them to recover provided the co
tions throughout the growing
tions are as bad as are indicated
the stock that has already come
the market. Never before at t
season of the year were there
many rotten potatoes in the yarn
of New York city as this week. New
York state has been shipping heaVily
during the past two weeks with the
consequence that the yards all around
the city this week were ﬁlled up
with state spuds that were diseased.
Some call it 'dry rot" while others
say it looks like the o'd fashioned
“black mi" and altr’nute the cans-
to too much rain during the gro
ing season. Of course there are 9..
kinds of opinions as to why state
potatoes developed this sudden af-
ﬂiction Some receivers advanced
the idea that the rudiments: cause
was poor seed and the disease Was
later developed by the rain. How.
ever, the fact certainly remains that
New York state potatoes are hard
hit. To just what extent this rot
extends over the state has not yet
been found out.

Last week the demand here for
state potatoes was strong because of
the lower prices the shippers were
asking and the movement got Wei

I have felt right. along that the

a situation with reference to this
,‘ conimodity was not nearly so
one as most dealers over the state
given out. It has been re ortcd,

. from what I might term rIiahle

me to boil the sihiariqii‘xt toWn, you
ill ﬁnd that the 3190 amOunt of
eally desirable and marketable bay to
a put on the market is not any more
s on normal. I don’t think we shall
ghave ﬁve per cent more No.1 hay to

.put on the market this year than we '

id last. Personally, I am mighty
well pleased with the development
, hat the hay maiket has shown, in the
“face of adverse circumstances, and
{every one in a way, ﬁghting against
:its advance. The dealers have circu-
lated the idea that this good hay
" Wuld be sold at $10. 00 per ton They
ve lead the pioducei to believe that
e situation warranted such a price,
'. t. gradually you will notite that they
{have drifted away fioni this mice and

ﬁve per cent above.
' We could not expect during the past
month and the present, that the hay
‘ situation would naturally assume very
much of an advance, or show a very
.much better tone. Bright sunshiny
.Weather is conducive of good market
conditions along the line of this com-
modity. While we don‘t see the mar—
ket taking any leaps or bounds, still
there is a tendency to just a little
better feeling (onslantly on our better
grades of hay. I should very much

‘ DETROIT.——Naturnlly, we from
,ichigan feel that Detroit is a very
large city; naturally. we feel that it
hould be able to take care of any
umber of cars of stuff and to advan-
”go; but this is not true. From a
ibmmercial standpoint, Detroit is a
'ry small market; only a very limit-
.1“ amount of hay can it consume. The

PITTSBURGH.——While we are not
able to advance our quotations over

an improvement in the tone to the
situation on this market. The receipts
of hay during the week have been very
much lighter and the markét a good
deal ﬁrmer as a result. .All receipts
have been readily disposed :of.» As
was advised last week, there is gradu-

ally coming an inquiry for light clover,

mixed hay of geod color. The re-
ceipts of straw are also very light.
There is a little advance in quotations

CINCINNATI—There was a contin«

this market of all classes of bay. The
demand was fairly active, the market
again displaying a much ﬁrmer ten-
dency, especially on the better grades.
There was some inquiry for good all
clover, of good color. The railroads
reported but very few shipments head—
ed for this market. That would go to
indicate a ﬁrmer tone to the situation
to exist a few days hence. The mar-
ket was favored with but a small per-
cen’age of common grade shipments,
this allowing the better qualities to
move at ﬁrmer prices. Following are
actual sales that were made:

CHICAGO—We are unable to ad—

have not been equal to the demand for
the last few days. We hardly under-
stand why actual sales made on this
market should not have advanced more
than quotations below show, because I
really believe, if salesmen had taken
advantage of the. situation they would
have. been able to advance sales actual-
ly made $1.00 per ton. This would
not have been in keeping, possibly,
with other markets. This brings up
the feature of one market keeping
fairly well in line with another, and
to you as a producer. I would say that
this is actually done constantly. Of
course, heavy receipts, or the opposite,
will affect any given market at the
moment, but as a rule with conditions
running along normally, you will no-
tice that one. market is very sympa-
thetic with its neighbor.

NEW YORK. lei-An unsatisfactory
condition has existed on the New York
_market this past week. By this is

.. meant that the. condition was’in‘the

buyers’ favor.‘ Receipts have been
very liberal and composed largely of
medium and low grades of hay. iBuy-
ers understanding at once the actual
situation that existed have simply" tak-
en advantage ot it. This market has
received a greater percentage of good,
straight No.1 hay than any other.
Appreciating that this market is very
exacting as to grades, itis natural to
expect that they would receipt 3. high—
er percentage than some others under
Same conditions. The highest sale
made last week was at $22.00. Please
understand that this was an extreme
ﬁgure. Receipts for this week, 5,874

POTATOES

From the crop report and the

report we get from our Michi-

gan crop in general, the situa-
tion that exists at the moment seems
unwarranted. I don’t believe you
hardly appreciate, as an individual
producer, just how serious the situa-
tion is just. at the present time. You
will naturally say that potatoes are
not turning out well, that they are far
below normal in your given territory,
which I agree with you is very likely
true, but at the same time the situa-
tion on the outside is really critical.
There is hardly a market today but
what is in a glutted condition. The
situation is really on no basis what-
ever, only one of the most unsettled
nature. When a given market gets in
this condition, you will readily appre-
ciate that the buyers are never ready
to take hold of the commodity at any
particular market price; they are con-
tinually waiting for something still
more severe to happen. , In other
words, waiting for a lower price. With
the market in a. good, criSp shape, pos-
sibly advancing, they are taking hold
freely, the game moves along fast and
on a good, substantial basis.

The government crop report, which
came out for October, shows an in"-
crease of 3,000, 000 bushels, making
the present crop 401, 000, 000." This is
unquestionably the largest crop ever
grown in the United States. We all
appreciate that. these crop reports are

line. It is a point that affects you
personally as growers.

DETROIT. —-We are in a position to
speak of our home city with a little

favor this week. The Detroit market

has been just as good, and instead of
a trailer has actually been a leader
over some of our very much larger
markets. We have had an exception‘
ally good demand here and the tone
to the situation has been very sharp,
much more so than either the Chicago,
Cincinnati or Pittsburgh markets. or
course, I realize that even with our
heavy receipts here, they have not
been correspondingly heavy with the
other markets mentioned, but I do

 

feel that we must have had a little’

better demand. The demand on this

market has been more for sacked steels,
than for bulk. This feature is taken "

care of by virtue of the grocer trade
or the peddler trade, the peddler trade,
of course, wishing bulk stock to ped-
dle from house to house, and it is a
much larger item than you would nat—
urally appreciate. Many times ten
cars of potatoes would be unloaded to
peddlers alone, on the market, and

.this all consummated before (eight.

o ’clock in the morning, but during the
last week, the grocer trade has taken
on potatoes very heavily, showing a
very keen demand among the consum-
ing trade. This market, with all oth-
ers, has shown a very sharp decline
in the last few days, but we held up
longer than did others.

PITTSBURGH. ——After holding the
Pittsburgh market up as the leader of
all others in the last week’s issue, I
[am somewhat grieved to be forced/to
report about the opposite condition
existing there this week. We can
naturally ﬁgure out why the Pitts-
burgh market would be forced to a de-
cidedly lower level, from the fact that
it had been a leader. This fact in it-
self had a tendency to draw shipments
in that direction, and all eyes were
turned on this market from Chicago,
Cincinnati, Detroit and others. There-
fore, the bulk of receipts in Pittsburgh
were of such an extent that the move—
ment of the same was almost impossi-
ble on some given days. In fact.
there were many _,days on which it

was impossible to make movement of.

cars that were actually on track ready
to be sold. Pittsburgh, of course, is a
very fortunate city, as relates to the
taking care of a great amount of pro-
duce. They not only have their heavy
city trade, but the small towns adja-
cent to the city also come to Pitts-
burgh for their carlots of all kinds of
produce, being bought and reshipped
out. This a great many times relieves
the congestion when nothing else
would One of our friends
trade writes: “Heavy arrivals, mar-
ket dropped back to 45 to 50; demand
fair at prices; no prospect for market
doing any better.” ,

’week the condition was being g0v-

cents, selling the stock for 50 to 52
cents, delivered, New York City.

BOSTON—Weather conditions in
Maine have curtailed the movement
noticeably. In Aroostook County,
Maine, Shippers were paymg the grow-
ers from $1.00 to $1.25 per 165 pounds,
quoting at 60 to 63 cents per bushel,
delivered, New York City. Common
points were paying shippers from $1.00
to $1.10 for 165 pounds and quoting at
58 to\60 cents delivered New York
City. This goes to show that the con—
dition in the east is in sympathy with
that of the west. In other words, a

WHEAT

From a. market standpoint, you
can appreciate how hard it is to
write anything along the lines

 

 

[It

01' this commodity from a Michigan

standpoint. We simply haven’t got
any wheat, and what we have got is
practically 90% chicken feed. The

situation can‘t change from one week,

to another, and there you are. Of
course, this situation affects you from
week to week, not only from the
standpoint of what you have for dis
position, but from the standpoint of
ﬂour and its by-products. From this
angle, the spring wheat situation gov:
erns our situation here entirely. There
was a little easier feeling in spring
wheat the earlier part of the week,
ﬂour prices having declined 100 per
barrel, but as we go to press, the mar-
ket has gradually gained, however,
and wheat prices and ﬂour prices are
back to. their normal level. Really, I
don’t believe we shall see enough
change in the wheat situation for the
next ninety days to make any particu-
lar difference in the situation one way
or' the other. Of course, from a large
deaier’s standpoint, from a blackboard
standpoint and a. wheat pit game,
there will be a. little manipulation con-
stantly going on, so that manipulating
and mar‘ginscan be traded on, but as
it affects the reader of this paper and
the Michigan farmer in general, the
situation is not going to change enough
texaffect you one- way or the other. I
noticed asampl'e of wheat only this
week. out of which I took one hundred
kernels, counted out what I felt sure

Would not mill satisfactorily, the sam-' ‘

only 40% which was suitable for ﬂour.

BEANS

It is the hope of the writer that

we have all been taking advan—

tage of these pleasant days for
the harvesting of our bean crop. Nat-
urally, the bulk of our beans sh0u1d
have been up; just what percentage
of them have already been secured, i
do not know, but 1 am aware of the
weather conditions we have been ex~
perlencing up to the last few days,
and I hardly see how it would have
been possible to secure beans duling
this pe110d.I feel that there must
have been a large peicentage of the
crop to be cared for the last few days.

It will be impossible for us for some
little time, very likely, to know with
any degree of accuracy as to the
amount of beans we aclually have for
disposition this season. It was not.
the intention of the writer, in taking
up this commodity, to be anything but
conservative, giving the actual market
conditions and possibly something
from an advisory standpoint, but real-
ly, I cannot go into this proposition
as I feel I should, and as my disposi—
tion dictates, without going further
than this. I feel that this paper, as a
market paper, ought to set some par—
ticular stakes on the commoditics
which we take up just the same as we
drive stakes in any business proposi—
tion. We have got to have a goal to
kick at, and place it at some particu-
lar point, or else there is nothing to
look forward to. You will appreclate,
of course, that no individual, the writ-
er or any one else, can anticipate what
the future of any of these given com-
modifies is going to be with any de-
gree of’ accuracy—local condlthhs and
understanding the situation all go to
help, but even with all of these as as-
sets, any one of us may go decidedly
wrong. I am writing this in connec—
tion with the bean article because this
one commodity interests and affects
us as a Michigan people more than any
other one commodity at the present
time, and it is a commodity 011 which
the market situation is liable to line
tuate and possibly be manipulated
more than any other commodity
grown; therefore, I think we have tho
right to step right in and go farther
than the ordinary market paper does
in your behalf. But understand that this
is simply our position .and as we 5U?
it. We may be wrong. YOu must re-
view the situation along with us and
use your own judgment in forming
your conclusions and basing your ac-
tual way of manipulating the situa-
tion. If you want to commence to so
stakes with the writer, we will start
right in on these beans:

In the ﬁrst place, we have got the
goods that the other fellow must have;
and if we can show the proper manip-
ulation of the proposition, not going
so far as to be called a “trust,” we
can get the proper price for these
beans. Turn to your map showing the
respective zones and let us set our
stakes. But very few beans are raised
in Zone 2; the freight rate to market
centers is high; let’s set our stake for
$2. 25 per bushel of 60 pounds’for
choice. h-and picked beans in this ..zone
In Zone 3,1et’s set our stake for $2. 30.

points right in these four ’last nam
zones that should bring $2. 50 p_
bushel and could pay it as this paper"
goes to issue and make a legitimate
proﬁt besides.

If your local dealer gets to hollering
around about these prices, that they
cannot, be met, etc., just write us a.
personal letter, then we will ShOW
you and Mr. Dealer both that they »
can. '

It is certainly a shame to think of
the'amount of beans that have been
contracled for over this state on 'a
basis of $2.00 and $2.15 per bushel.
Just think of the thousands of dollars
that this association could have saved

you if you had been in touch with it 3

thlough this malket papel earlier.
Simply a shame to allow these fellows
to manipulate the situation and gain;
ble at your expense as they have. I
told you in our ﬁrst week's issue, that
if those fellows could gamble on your
stuff on a basis of $2.00 and $2.15 that
the situation certainly showed an ad-
vance over that to them, and the sit-
uation which exists today proves that
they are making at least 50c per bushel
on every bushel of contracted beans on
that basis. In other words, the pro-
ducer has actually lost, on a basis of
natural conditions, through the chem
hel of contracting alone, 50c pcr bush-
el on his bean crop this year. This is
not gambling, it .is simply handing
50c to those fellows without going
into the game.

offerings were very much ahead of the
regular demand, and the market as a

concessions were made on every side.

,Lower grades were particularly hard

to move. Buyers are hanging back,

CLOVER SEED

_ As was mentioned in our ﬁrst

:1 issue, practically 75% of the

seed which has been shipped

lout of local teiritories will have to be
eturned for local use. Elevator men,
nd the trade in general, are realizing
is situation as one which actually
Xists. We can see nothing but a ﬁrm
:tuation which must exist from now

APPLES

I believe it is going to result
in“ that we were quite right in a11-
JE ticipating that not over 50% of
no true apple crop would be put on
he market this fall and this is based
n the situation which naturally con-
‘ (311th the producer, also on the tea-
e of labor and theexpense attend-
thereto, etc. Both of these fea-
es stopped the actual harvesting of
re than 50% of the crop.- Along
‘this, I think, not 10% will at-
.1.. to do anything with their No. 2
wick this year. Whether they have
2‘ n advised through outside sources
not, I do not known but I think it
cll actually result that not over 10%
but what is considered

 

 

     

nything
. c No, 1 fruit will be" put 'on the

,tion now in- pretty good shape.

  

this way of haud-llng pr ,
was certainly in line With g‘do,
mate results. Because it this entire

. o
crop had been put on the market,"-i,,,
there would have been practically no}?
market at all for any or it. A great; .-
many of the shipments would not'
have paid for the labor and packgges; f
required to put them on the market.
The situation looks 50% better to the

 

writer than it did last week became I
feel that it is assured that we shall
not have over 50% ot the natural crop
to contend with.. That being the case,
a leverage of 50% will have’been'v caus‘

ed on the situation as it exists. ‘ I '

think we can take career the situa-
- Just
what the market will be, of. course, is
a question; it is also a question just
how these apples are going to keep.
That has been a feature which, from
a storage man s standpoint, has been a
bone of contention. They have been
afraid of this feature, but I actually
believe that we shall be fairly well
pleased with the outcome or the’apple
situation from now on. I think this
good, straight No. 1 fruit, in winter
varieties, will bring around $2.50 net
to the shipper, delivered Detroit, or
on other like markets. I feel that we
have every reason to look for a much
better condition than was at ﬁrst ex-
pected. It is reported that in New
York state, through the apple sections,
like Niagara County, the producer has
been receiving $1.50 to $1.75 per barrel
ior Baldwins, Kings, etc., measuring
21/; inches and up. Greenings have
struck the mark of $1.75 to $2.00. in
is reported that the Chicago buyers
have made purchases in this section
on a basis of $2.00 1. o. b. shipping
point. If this is true, which we have
every reason to believe, we can natur-
ally expect that these apples must sell
at above $2.50 per barrel in order to
show any proﬁt. It New York apples
are bringing $1.75 to $2.00'per barrel,
we have every reason to believe that
our Michigan stock will run $2. 50 on
the Detroit market.

CINCINNATI. -— Under heavy re-

ceipts, this market shows quite an
easier feeling. Buyers are taking on
only from hand. to mouth. There is
really an accumulation of stock. A
great many shipments are arriving in
poor condition. The quality of the
shipments is not quite up to the stand-
ard.

CINCINNATI—There was only a.
moderate movement all around and
with offerings ample the market shows
weakness throughout the list. Buyers
when interested are only taking hold
of small amounts and that fact causes
a great deal of accumulation of stock.
Some be 111: received in poor condition

FRUITS

Along most lines the arrivals
of fruits are ahead of the de-

mand that ekists. The season
is getting pretty well over and the
late arrivals are hard. to place. In
most lines the marketis featureless;
along one or two lines the market has
shown quite an advance, especially in
pears.

ONIONS  

 

 

It is a question just how the

onion situation would have to

be handled in order to force an
advanced market. It is apparently
evident that we have a very heavy
crop of onions to make disposition of
this season, but at the same time I
feel that if we could place them on the
market in just the right manner, we
could at least inﬂuence the market
along better lines. I absolutely know

that it our crop is ﬂooded on the mar- ‘

ket at any one particular time that
some shipments will show almost a
loss. If they are not handled in this
manner, being sold on track and at
stipulated prices, the market at home,
after these conditions are in actual
existence, will be very low, because
shippers will simply take advantage
of the situation at home to make up
for their losses already sustained. It
seems very hard to make disposition
of onions on straight sales to interior
points to advantage; they do not seem
to be taking hold of these onions very
freely. There is a disposition, we
feel, and there should be far that mat-
ter, to quote these onions a. little high-
er than the true situation shows,
therefore making it hard to actually
show results. The large markets are
not buying hardly at all, because good,
reliable commission handlers are able
to get enough on a commission basis
to take care of the trade. Red stock,
we all know, must go south to St.

Louis, Mo.; Memphis, Tenn.; New Or-
leans, La., etc. The Memphis, Tenn”
market today would net shippers

around, in certain parts of Michigan
and Indian-a, about 36 to 40 cents I. o.
b. track shipping mint. Yellow stock-
would not the shipper at most common
points about 40 to 45 cents, this being
on basis of being put up in 100- -pound
sacks, these quotations per bushel.

The cabbage market certainly
received an awful wallop the

We are experiencing somewhat

of a slump in poultry condi-

tions here in the city. In fact,

this. is in evidence on practical'ly all
markets. I should like to have some
one give me a good reason for poultry
»having made its present decline; with

 

 

 

 

, beef, pork, and mactically all meats

out in reach oftho average consumer,
I can see no reason why poultry
should have made a decline below its
former level. Poultry was nearer in
line than anything else from a con-
sumer’s standpoint, and it is now
about the cheapest meat we Can get.
The report shows that there is actual-
1y 3 shdrtage of 15 to 20% in the
poultry to be put on the market in
the United States this year. If we
are disposed to. take this as good au~
thority, you can easily ﬁgure out what
is best to do. I don't know that this
authority is good, but it is gotten up
on good, conservative lines, I am sure.
