THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
633 
Steuben County, N. Y.—Hay was an 
average crop ; winter wheat hardly an aver¬ 
age ; did not stool in the spring, but was 
very plump. Oats are very heavy and rust¬ 
ing somewhat; barley a good crop, badly 
colored ; corn very late, but growing very 
fast now. Potatoes look better than for 
several years. We have not been bothered 
with the bogs; dealers report very small 
sales of Paris-green. There is plenty of all 
kinds of fruits, which are large and smooth.

CROP AND MARKET NOTES. 
Market the surplus poultry soon. 
Hay is of better quality than last year. 
The New York bean crop promises well 
so far. 
A corner in the corn market is predicted 
for September. 
The Pacific Coast is getting good prices 
for wheat in Pern. 
The market for canned and evaporated 
goods will be dull and prices low for a long 
time. 
The banana trade has been badly injured 
by the bountiful crop of peaches and other 
domestic fruits. 
The acreage of Lima Beans in California 
is reported larger than ever before, but it 
is estimated that the yield will fall short 
of last year. 
The Italian harvest reports indicate that 
this year’s crops will equal those of 1890. 
Recent rains have greatly improved the In¬ 
dian corn crop prospects. 
The Russian Minister of Finance esti¬ 
mates a shortage in the rye crop equal to 
about 170,000.000 bushels, which deficit must 
be supplied by potatoes and maize. 
California fruits have felt the effect of 
the large crop of Eastern fruits. Prices 
are considerably below those of last year. 
Last w> ek Congress Pears sold for $1 60 to 
$1.75 per box ; Bartlett, $1 to $1 95; Clapp’s 
Favorite,$1.10 to $1.40; Beurr6 Hardy, $1 10 
to $1.40; Seckel, per half box, 80c. 
New markets are opening up on the other 
side for our breadstuff's in view of the wide¬ 
spread crop damages. Norway and Swedish 
ports heretofore restricted in their opera¬ 
tions on American markets, are turning 
their attention hitherward, more especially 
for rye, wheat and flour, of which latter 
they have taken liberal quantities of low 
grades. 
There are reports that in the northern 
part of Ohio and certain sections of Michi¬ 
gan there has been a drought to lessen the 
supply of clover seed. It spurted Decem¬ 
ber delivery to $5. The trade here say that 
the movement was started without much 
consideration, since the period is premature 
for any idea over the crop situation. Toward 
the close the market had settled at the 
West to $4.85,

Beans are unchanged, excepting California Limas, 
which are a trifle lower. Trade Is quiet, hut export¬

Butter has taken anothrr spurt upward on all 
grades, but Western dairy and factory. The receipts 
are light and other markets strong. Supplies of State 
dairy have been light, but It Is thought that present 
prices will start some of the reserves. Heavy re¬ 
ceipts might weaken prices.

Cheese Is quoted higher than last week, though the 
market Is not so firm as early In the week. Every¬ 
thing was cleaned up closely last week under heavy 
export demand, but the rise In price has a tendency 
to check that. Stocks are extremely light and prices 
are not likely to go much lower at present.

Eggs show little change from last week, as the re 
celpts have continued liberal. L-rge quantities have 
been put into cold storage, and any material advance 
In prices will bring many of them on the market. 
While this class of stock does not till tee demand for 
fresh goods. It has a tendency to Influence prices on 
the latter.

Fruits.— Apples are doing a little better if choice, 
the previous low prices haring reduced receipts con¬ 
siderably All fruits except peaches, however, sell 
slowly ; of those there has not been an oversupply 
thus far, unless It may be of Inferior grades, and good 
frutt has sold well. The market seems capable of 
absorbing an Immense amount of fruit. The best so 
far have come from Delaware. Of pears, the Bart- 
let s are most In demand and the market Is not over¬ 
stocked with them. There Is less Inquiry for Clapps 
and other early varieties. Plums are selling well for 
the green varieties. Grapes sell well If choice, but a 
large part of the receipts are Inferior. Some Cham¬ 
pions from up the river sell low, but still for more 
than they are worth. Southern grapes plentiful, but 
so few are choice that they drag. Water-melons and 
musk melons doing better. Dried fruits unchanged.

Poultry.- Live poultry of all kinds has made a 
sharp advance and Is likely to bring good prices for 
some weeks to come. Five cars of Western In one 
day early In the week caused a decline, but the mar¬ 
ket Is well cleaned up and in good shape. The de¬ 
mand for some time now will bo strongest for live 
poultry. Dressed fowls and chickens are also selling 
well. If choice. Poor lots drag heavily.

SECRETS OF SUCCESS, 
Or Many Years of Experienced Farming. 
What is Experience—Trial or repeated trial, or the Instructions 
thus galnci ? 
What is Success-Prosperous Issue ? 
V\ lint is Secrets—Conceded, secluded, hidden, unseen, private, 
something unknown? 
What is K nowledge—Clear perception, truth ascertained, Informa¬ 
tion, learning ? 
Secrets of Success contains all the above information, while the 
subjects arc handled In a plain, common-sense manner, so that all may 
understand. It tells how to grow successfully large yields of beans, 
potatoes, corn, wheat, oats, hay, turnips, onions etc.: carefully explains 
the use of various fertilizers and presents numerous Illustrations of the 
Implements which assist In securing the desired re nits. Already many 
letters speaking in terms of the highest commendation of the practical 
Information contained in Secrets of Success have been received, 
some write I hope you may be able to sell l< 0,000.000 copies, others write 
I would not be without It for twice the cost if I could not get another. 
While for the past 12 years I have labored unremittingly to stta'n the 
best methods and experience I have been watched by my fellow 
farmers as to the results of my experience in the community In which 
my farm Is located, many of whom sat on store boxes gofslplng 
about the gilt-edged farmer, making envious and discouraging com¬ 
ments, while my teams were carting manure down 'h<> street to feed the 
soil that had produced the wonderful yields the past few years. I find 
those farmers are profiting by my experiments. I asked no odds or 
ends from any one but have solved the problem which my fellow man 
Instead of shaking hands seemed more Inclined to turn from me as 
though bitterly envious of my unqu stlonable success. My exp r rlenee 
has cost me hundreds of dollars. I have made some mistakes, but have 
profited by my mistakes. I have succeeded In placing In book form this condensed experience of years, and It 
Is receiving high praise from almost every quarter, including all parts of the United States, Canada, Australia 
and many parts of Europe. Trusting every purchaser will gain such Information as will enable him to honor 
i Is calling with the Independence that should belong to the thriving farmer.
