RICHMOND TOBACCO MARKET.
(Reported by E. K. Vie tor & Co . Leaf Tobacco.
Strips. Stems and Scraps.)
, ; Richmond, Va., April 17, 1909.
We have had practically no re
ceipts of loose tobacco during this
week owing to the harsh weather
which has been prevailing here.
Whatever is left of the old crop will
be marketed rapidly now and the
country will soon be bare of tobacco.
Planting has commenced in South
Carolina and will be commenced in
the eastern section of North Caro
lina next week. The market for
hogshead tobacco continues to be
very dull as there is practically no
demand for export.

NEW YORK PRODUCE MARKET.
New York, April 16, 1909.
; Our markets seem to be pretty
well . stocked with country produce,
and we are now receiving liberal
supplies of telegrams telling of the
killing of all sorts of garden truck,
especially strawberries. At yet the
Delaware peach crop is not heard
from, but probably the worst is to
come on paper. '
There is an active demand for for
eign potatoes, but domestic stock is
rather dull, as late crop1 South
ern can not be quoted at more than
$2 2.50.; new stock from j Florida,
$35; Western, $2.62 g 2.67 per,
180 lbs.. Sweets, Md. and Va., per
bbl., $23; foreign stock, $2.50
2.60 per 168-lb. bag. Texas has sent
in liberal supplies of onions, and
such are quoted at $1.75 per crate
foi red, and $2 for white; new Ber
mudas, $1.75. Cabbage well sustain
ed at $2.50 3 per large crate for
S. C. stock, and practically the same
for Florida;, red, per crate, j $2.50
3.50. Cauliflower, per basket, Fla.,
$1.602. I
Eggplant, Fla., per box, $2 4. Ok
ra, $1.50 3 per carrier. Oyster
plants, per 100 bunches, $3g)5.
Rhubarb, per 100 bunches, $2g4.
Peas, Fla., and S. C, per basket,
$22.503. Lettuce, Fla., $1 2,
and same for N. C. and Norfolk.
String beans, Fla., $12.50 for wax
and 2 5c. more for green: Spinach,

Hubbard, per bbl., $11.50. Tur

per bbl. "
Beans quiet and about unchanged.
Choice pea beans, per bushel, $2.50;
medium, $2.452.50; red kidney,
$2.45. Evaporated apples, 6
7c. per lb.; with carton stock, 8
9c. Dried cherries, Southern, per
lb., 13(g) 15c; raspberries, 20(g)
22 c.
Butter, firm so far as top grades
are concerned, and creamery is held
at 28 28 Vi c; extra, 26c, and stor
age, 23 2 6c; Western factory, 17
19c.
Eggs are dull and lower, as the
Easter demand is over and the sup
plies continue liberal. Quoted from
20 22c for Western stock though
the latter figure is perhaps extreme.
Naval stores, firm, and turpentine
has advanced to 41c, at which fig
ure it is well sustained and further
advance is probable. Rosins, firm,
but not much trading has been done.
Prices practically without change.
Tar, firm at $5 and pitch in demand
at $3.
May wheat is about $1.32.
There seems a pretty well-settled be
lief that this staple is not going to be
very much below present quotations.
Already bakers are talking j of de
creasing the size of the-loaf. This
will be more acceptable than to add
a cent to the price of the prevailing
size. F. J. ROOT. .
